My friend Jill and I did the bouquets and a few small arrangements for a friend's wedding (it was our gift to her) - Congrats Kimberly & Matt!!
Jill and I are on the flower committee at church ... and so we are used to doing HUGE flower arrangements and those don't make us nervous ... but bouquets are a totally different animal. Wedding flowers are ... going to be photographed and scrap-booked for forevermore! They have to look just right!! Jill and I ended up putting flowers together ... and then standing in front of a mirror holding them as the girls would -- to make sure they looked like what a bouquet should look like.
I think they turned out pretty well ... and the most important thing -- Kimberly loved them. AND we got a steal on the flowers from our florist ... we used the same wholesale place we use to get the flowers for our church arrangements ... and so we did the bridal bouquet, 3 bridesmaid bouquets, 3 small table arrangements, 7 boutineres and 2 corsages for $220!! Not bad ;)
