I went shopping yesterday with my mom and sister on Mother's Day. We went looking for some decorations for the bridal shower. We ended up finding centerpieces for the tabels that included small square vases, clear pebbles, and flowers to float on top of the water. (I don't have pictures of this.)
Next, we made our way over to JoAnn Fabrics because it was next door. We wandered to the flower section and put together different flower combonations. I have been looking at flowers online for quite some time. I originally thought I wanted gerbera daisies. I think they are really pretty. BUT, then I saw this pink flower that was the same shade of my bridesmaid's dresses and I loved it.
My sister (Maid of Honor) and I decided that white looks best with the girls dresses. I was originally thinking yellow and white. White definetly looks better though. So we put together some flower combonations and I LOVE the way they turned out. Funny thing is that I have no clue what kind of flowers they are, but they look really pretty in my opinion...and thats all that matters! =). RoJo actually came home when I had them laying out on the couch and complemented them. Yay.
I will have pink + white.
Bridesmaids will have white.

We are trying to focus on sticking to our budget. This is hard with the cost of everything wedding related being sooo darn expensive. I ended up spending $86 dollars on silk flowers. The real flowers at the resort would end up costing us $60 per bouquet, and $20 per boutoneeire. With 7 bridesmaids, and 4 groomsman (so far), we would have spent well over $600 dollars.
Yay!
