Some thoughts.....

I copied this from the knot.

I have finally gotten my head around the fact I am not going to really use hydrangeas and peonies. In September the cost would be over the top and I can come up with something just as nice. It will just take a little time. I am emailing back and forth with the florist to pick a Saturday that will work as she's on the Cape. After we sit down I'll have a better understanding of everything.


white bouquet of stephanotis, Akito roses, and calla lilies with pearl accents.
minus all that ribbon.
Stephanotis have a small similarity to hydrangeas, this isn't the best picture of them, but in person I think they're pretty (cheaper).

I like simple white roses for my bouquet and one rose for the boutonnieres. I am planning on having Vineyard Vines ties and I like the look of a simple rose as is. I do not have the ties picked out. But am pretty set on them being light blue to match the sashes on the bridesmaids.

I sure wish I knew more about flowers! But heck there is a whole lot i'm learing about this wedding stuff!

Wedding me this....

I like the ribbon, I think it would be very cute if the back of your dress was similar!

I would have this look with a combo of light blue hydrangeas.

When I see hydrangeas I save all ideas, this is a bit to much "something blue" but I like the name tags. But do you really need to "tag" them? Assuming they would be all the same, maybe the maid of honors is a bit different (not in mine) or is it a photo opt?

I like the ribbon!

At one point when I was looking on the knot, i thought this was very cute, but now it kind of hurts my eyes!

Love this cake, (stole the pic from MMM). I want to included our monogram as much as I can (only if it's tasteful of course). Don't worry I'm not going to go "crazy" with rJk. That's right I'm thinking he's initial will be before mine. I know typically the ladies goes first but I like how it looks. But we have time for me to flip flop back and forth!
