*The mirror won't have green on it LOL it's just a mirror I had at home that I used as a basis for how it would look. Our actual centerpiece mirrors are rented from the hall and don't have a edging.

I am in LOVE with your bouquets!!! If you don't mind me asking, how much did the flowers cost? I am stuck on what I want for flowers, and I am on kind of a tight budget. I was thinking silk flowers because I really want anemones, but I am also tossing around the idea of wildflower bunches to keep the cost down.

SFlvr, I think I've spent a total of $500 on the flowers. But then there was the cost of ribbon which probably boosted me to $600.  I ordered all of my flowers on afloral.com and a couple packs of roses on ebay.  BUT! I have a LOT of flowers left over. Literally 5 small bins of flowers. I ordered WAY too many because I didn't know exactly what I was doing before they just kinda came together. If I had known exactly what I wanted? I'd say my cost in total would have been about $400-450. Which is HALF of what I was quoted by a preserved flower dealer. Before I caved and went with silk flowers I was pretty adamant about having real flowers - it was the one thing I really wanted - but then I got the quote and tossed that idea out the window. And it was so much fun making the bouquets!! 

BTW - I'm an open book on the cost of my wedding so feel free to ask me anything and I'll answer if I can remember. We've been just kinda getting stuff here and there as we go along lol.
