So this is a re-post from the gothic board, but I wanted to share it with you guys too!
I went and talked with a florist yesterday. It was pretty fun, except my little one makes everything a little challenging! I got to go through the florist's little books of flowers. Each one was by color so it made it a lot easier. I found the lilies that are in one of my favorite bouquets. They are called Sumatra lilies...you learn something new everyday. So I'm pretty excited to have my bouquet made by someone else, and I might have the corsages for my mom, Chris's mom, and Chris's grandmother made by her too. I just know that I'm going to be so busy doing everything else, and I don't want to stress myself out too much. It's going to be quite expensive, but my bouquet is pretty darn important to me.
I was given the prices per stem for the flowers that I want . Here's the breakdown:
sumatra lilies - $9 per stem
calla lilies - $8 per stem
black magic and black baccara roses - $5 per stem
fiddlehead ferns - $25 for 10 stems
ivy - $12 for all the ivy I would need
Peacock feathers - If I use them I will be supplying them.
Now I just need to figure out how many of each flower I want. I know I want 5 of the sumatra lilies and I can work from there.
