the flowers
Simple, classic, red and white roses.

Besides the bride and groom there were 3 attendants. The grooms brother, the brother’s fiance, and a friend of the bride. The 2 girls got red rose corsages.

ugh
So I wore these shoes today (scroll to the bottom) and a man in the elevator goes “nice minnie mouse shoes.” He said he was just pulling my leg… whatever. Not the best way to start off the week.
These flowers make me feel a little better.

Still Need to Book:
Florist
Engagement Encounter
I’m not sure why I am putting off booking the florist. Part of me feels like this isn’t something that needs to be done right away. Part of me feels like I know nothing about flowers, so finding the right florist for the right price is going to take some research, and a few meetings. Not so keen on the meetings part. I should just get over it though, I think I know exactly what I want. And I think we are going to do our own centerpieces (in an effort to save money, however the time factor may cause me to just hand this over to a professional) So really the florist would only be doing our bouquets, which I think I want to look like this:

Just a bunch of white Ranunculus, with the same for the bridesmaids, only smaller, and possibly mixed with marigold colored ones. With marigold colored ones for the guys. Here is another option.
Here are some pictures of the look I want for the centerpieces:



(all from Martha)
Simple. Simple. Simple. I know that creating these centerpieces wouldn’t be so hard… it is more of the creating centerpieces while baking cookies for the favors part… and the who is going to set them all up the morning of part.

what happens in vegas…
…gets blogged about! haha
I have only been to vegas once, so I am pretty excited about today. Bryan and I are taking the afternoon off to drive up to Vegas to see his mom. (She lives on the east coast and is out in Vegas for the week for some work stuff) We will come back tomorrow, so just a quick little trip, but I am excited to see my future MIL, it has almost been a year since the last time we saw his family, and since we won’t be able to make it back east this holiday season we are glad we can take some time to see her now. So, I leave you with this beautiful picture from Martha. Who knows, maybe I will come back a Mrs. ;)
