I went to Flowers by Emil a few days ago to see a sample of my CP that he made while I waited in the galvanized bucket that I brought to him that day. The reason I say this is a rough sample is because we made several changes. So first, let me mention the changes. There will be no greenery (leaves at the bottom), there will be more of the pink roses and gerberas and less of the hydrangea (hydrangea only as an accent), the roses will be full and open, the color green in the hydrangea will be brighter (almost like a lime color), and the CP in general will be fuller and more round, almost like a topiary sitting on top of the bucket. Finally, there will be pink and green raffia tied around the bucket. That said, here are some pics. What do you think?
I really love the centerpiece and it sounds like they are going to be even more lovely in the final version. May I ask did you buy the buckets? If so... Where??? I think they are an adorable idea.

Yes, I bought the buckets myself so I could give away the centerpieces. I did a lot of research and the cheapest ones I found were here:
last question... what size was the one in the picture?

It's the 2 quart. I ordered both a 2 quart and a 4 quart b/c I couldn't tell which size looked best from the pics. The 4 quart is HUGE! hehe! 2 quart seemed perfect, and they get them to you really quickly. I don't have to order the rest of the buckets until I have a good idea how many CPs I need.
