My sample centerpiece PIC

I just got back from Bayview Florist and I love Lorraine. This pic doesn't have all the flowers I am getting since most of my flowers aren't in season right now. But I wanted a garden look with the flowers in an urn. They are going to be all different size candles around it. I am going to see another sample before the wedding so I can make changes then. Sorry the pics are terrible.

Pics are in my centerpiece photo album.

very pretty!!

I got to tell you, I hope you don't find offense, but I cringe when I see that done to roses.

They actually hand pulled the petals down to make them look open, and it doesn't look good to me. Its like forcing the rose to open before its ready in a very unnatural way.

You know though, I have a very sensitive eye to it as my mother's garden is always filled with roses that open naturally. So just make sure it doesn't bother you.

That's actually the type of rose it is. I don't remember the name but that's how they bloom. I thought the same thing when I saw them.

I am doing the large roses, spray roses, honeycomb, runuculas (have no idea how to spell it), hydrangeas and some other things I can't remember the name. And dahlias. Almost forgot them.

Gorgeous !
