ok i need help * please note in the poll it is save $ for my favors! I cant type! sorry
I really want a beachy kinda wedding...we are on a budget...
the florist we like can do our stuff for 2K however the centerpieces are a low oval in a rectangular tray u do not see. it will have white roses, hydragea (blue) and orchids
I like the idea of the flowers in a conch shell but the conch shells will cost us 400 for us to buy...the florist doesnt supply it pic of the idea at the very end
My other option which I like too is to have the centerpiece as quoted and buy white starfish about 3-4 inches big and have the florist incorporate that into the arangement the cost for that is 98 bucks
What would you do? Screw it pay 400 extra or add a touch of beachyness with starfish? Help me please!
this is the idea of the oval like low flowers but with the flowers i listed above but i want to incorporate some white starfish into it. And scatter some seashells (mini) and beach glass around the centerpiece
OOOOOOR

The disadvantage I see w/the shell is 'What are you going to do with all of them afterwards?'
When using a florist, most of the times they let the folks tak it home if it's a low CP, but otherwise they come back and take their pedestals, allowing the guests to take the flowers ont heir own.
You're paying for them, and it would be a huge disappointment, spending $400 on something you're either going to have excess of after the event laying around the house...or people will just throw them away (I'd use it somewhere in the house...MAYBE)
For $400 that can go towards other elements of the wedding - chocolate fountain, upgrading a HM package, your dress, etc....I'd go w/the cheaper....
i agree

I defniitely don't think the conch shells are worth it in my opinion. I'd do the starfish. I love the cp's though. May I ask how much they are costing you each?
the flowers alone is 65 for the oval low centerpiece. I was just going to buy the starfish and ask the florist to put it in the arrangement. For 100 starfish it is 98 bucks.

I really think the starfish will look better...the conch shell looks very weird to me... Not sure why. I think it is defintley a detail that they will overlook and is not worth the extra dough...spend it on something else. However, if it is something you want..get it. I am trying to learn that lesson myself. Good luck
