Goodness, goodnes.

I forgot centerpieces! We started talking about them last night, and I almost lost my mind! Everyone had different ideas. I don't know what to do. (A little over six months left!!!!!)

I don't know yet. I think we're going to have to bite the bullet and break down and get a professional involved.

Unless you have the spare time and are super creative, I say go for a florist. There are plenty of reasonable florists out there… check with a local one even. You can do a very simple bubble vase with a dozen or so roses in them to keep the price low. Or… you can just get pillar candles, stick them in a hurricane lamp and put a bunch of votives around it…. that’s a super low cost alternative!

Re: Calling November Brides

i dont even want to think about all the things that I have to do.

wedding rings
flowers
limos
tuxes
favors
oot boxes
invitations
and i'm sure plenty of stuff I havent thought of yet!!

Re: Calling November Brides

Re: Calling November Brides

The hurricane lamp is actually a really good idea. Thanks!
