I haven't been around...

...but I wanted to stop in and say hello. I am currently 60 days away from our wedding date. A lot of things have changed for us. I am a little bummed that flowers are out of our budget, but I am trying to find a creative way to find some. Maybe we can get some new topics going, and revisit some old ones? I am at the point of not wanting to do this anymore (not the marriage...the wedding planning!). I would still like to post what we have accomplished. I am trying very hard to keep the same gothic feel, but it can be difficult. I'll post some stuff soon!

Keep posting! This board is quiet.
For flowers, I'd check around to local florists a day or 2 before the wedding to see what they have. A florist near me always has $3 mixed bouquets for sale.  You can check local farmers markets too, you might find a really good deal there.  You might not be able to find a specific flower, but you don't have to go flowerless.

Have you thought about hitting a craft store? There's lots of ways to make offbeat "bouquets" fom feathers, ribbons, beads, etc. Maybe pick things you like and have a party with your bridal party where each girl makes her own bouquet from the materials you like. This is much less expensive than flowers, and everyone has a handmade treasure that will last forever.
