I am tentatively planning on making my floral arrangements for my wedding, in March 2010. I found a potential website to buy the flowers from (
www.fiftyflowers.com), and am planning on doing a fairly simple, hand tied bridal bouquet & bridesmaid bouquets, and maybe some simple, low-lying centerpieces (thinking about mainly candles for the centerpieces). I will probably also try to do the boutonniere's, unless i just purchase those. I just wanted to know about who else has taken this task on for their wedding? Any recommendations, thoughts, words of advice? I know one item to consider is that I will have to order the flowers to be delivered about 2 days before the wedding, which could pose one of its own issues, since I would be putting them together myself. I like to be creative anyway, so I thought this might be a cool way to express my creativity while saving some money. Also, what are people's thoughts regarding the use of silk flowers? I never thought I would consider using them, but after being MOH for my best friend and seeing her use silk flowers, I am starting to consider that option as well. Is this considered tacky, or is it okay now? Thanks in advance! :-D
