Lauren..

WHat are you using?

What flowers??? I have NO idea!!! LOL! I'm clueless!!!

But if you're talking about where am I getting this info... here it is:

flower info

Wow Lauren ... you've been a busy girl!

I didn't have a clue either ... but make sure you take your swatch w/you on any appointments & the florist will make some suggestions. Martha did an issue recently on flowers ... that was helpful. Let me know if you need it!

BTW ... how's it going?

Everything's great Christine, how's it going with you?!!! I'm meeting with Flower Michelle on Saturday and figured I'd better go in with some knowledge!

Anyway, a swatch of what???? I don't have a swatch of my bridesmaids dresses or my own! I didn't know

Do you think everything will be alright if I don't have that???

What Martha Stewart mag??? Maybe I'll pick it up today!
