So I talked to my FMIL today and she mentioned that she wanted to get together this weekend and talk about flowers (she is a florist). She told me that what I wanted was really expensive especially because my heart is set on real flowers. What I chose were lilies and roses for the whole thing, my bouquet, the centerpieces and any other place that we felt we need flowers. She asked me what I was looking for and I told her simple elegant and she said those are elegant but so far from simple and very expensive. Then my fiance wanted to talk to me about the escort favors...we originally decided to make cake balls for the favors. The FI basically told me that it would be very time consuming and stressful because we would have to make them 1-2 days before the wedding and he said the week will be stressful enough without trying to worry about making those. He said he thinks there will be enough to snack on with a popcorn bar, cake, hor d'orves and dinner. He told me to try to come up with something more simple but still elegant. I don't want to do just paper cards that the guests will throw away but the Fi doesn't want to give them anything edible either. We are doing bubbles and bells for when we leave that night but I don't anyone will keep those. So now I have to start pretty much over and figure out decor that is simple yet still elegant and the same thing goes for the escort cards/favors. Does anyone have any ideas they would like to lend me?
