Flowers are you going to use for your bo-k and centerpieces?
bo-k...white peony, white lilac, lavender fresia and orchids.

BM bo-k ... Same as mine except with lavender lilac and pink peony

Centerpieces.... light blue hydrangea, pink peony and lilac.

Green hydrangea, pink and lavendar roses, yellow freesia, white calla lilies, and pink veronica.

My two nieces and my Mom will have smaller versions of my bouquet, probably without the calla and veronica.

I've never heard of pink Veronica? Is it the flower you have pictured in you avatar? Your bo-k sounds very pretty!

The pic in my avatar is a lotus flower that I took at the NY Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. It was actually my first choice for the wedding but SO expensive!

Pink veronica are the pointy things in the right of this picture:

I went to the florist months ago and completely forgot that all of the flowers in the picture are for the centerpieces!! I'm pretty sure that the callas and veronica won't be in the bouquet, and that there will be green cymbidium orchids in the bouquet.

I should really look over the paperwork from that day!

You're reminding me that I need to ask for a sample centerpiece too. They're usually free, right?

National wholesale wedding flowers have a lot of inexpensive packages. I met with them but I didn't book them. You can also try Flower Michele, they will work with your budget. Whats your flower budget?

You can ask for flowers in season and low cost. That does not mean 'not pretty', just cheaper flowers. Roses are not expensive in comparison to Hydrangeas and peonies, etc.

I thought hydrangeas were inexpensive. Aren't they used as filler? I never asked about the price of hydrangea, I just always assumed it was inexpensive.
