We have flowers!!!!!!!!!!

We have flowers!!!!!!!!!!

We booked our florist last night! We booked Metro Floral on 30th Avenue in Astoria! They do absolutely wonderful work for a fraction of what these other florists charge!

Anyway, as I was going through the flowers and all the arrangements with Jose, he kept on saying how I've picked out pretty much the best selection of flowers FH's eyes kept bulging out as he thought the flowers were going to cost us a fortune! Fortunately that wasnt the case.

I chose white and green hydrangea, white dendrobium orchids, white mini calla lillies, champagne and white sweetheart roses (the small ones-I LOVE THEM)... my centerpieces are going to be oval with the candelabra in the middle and my bo-k will consist of white and green hydrangea, white mini calla lillies, and champagne sweetheart roses. FH's boutonniere will be a mini calla lilly with some nice greenery in tha background. The girls' bo-ks will consist of green hydrangea as a filler and champagne roses wrapped with a champagne bow...the guys' boutonnieres will consist of three champagne roses with some greenery...

So as you can see I have it all packed down! Im so excited that I was able to get exactly what I wanted-you have no idea! On top of it all I have all the extras, the church decor, the throw-away bo-k, corsages, and all that other good stuff

Below are some pics of the flowers I have chosen

My bo-k (sort of)

Pew decor (instead of the flowers in the pic it will have a Casablanca lilly with the ivy spiraling down)

BM bo-ks (will have greeen hydrangea as a filler)

Re: We have flowers!!!!!!!!!!

They look beautiful! I'm interested in seeing your flowers when you get a sample. I'm doing green hydrangeas & blue hydrangeas- my florist said it's hard to get the color green I want in hydrangeas, since they either start white & turn green or start green & turn white (don't remember which), so I'm just nervous mine won't be exactly what I want--I don't want any white flowers at all in mine, so we'll see!

They're such pretty, full flowers, I love them! I just hope I don't get any white, since I'm not using any white accents! But I am excited to see yours, they sound beautiful!
