with flowers in her hair...

I'm not wearing a veil so I wanted to find a flower to wear in my updo.

And here she is! Her name is Essential Katie and she's described as a minimal, but incredibly feminine silk flower.. also, a deal that can't be beat!

· 100% silk petals
· ivory flower
· creamy pearls and clear Swarovski crystals,
wound with pure sterling
· alligator clip hardware
· handmade in our studio
· approximately 3 1/4" by 3 1/4"

She was $29.00! Isn't she pretty?

I bought her from Muscari Designs. They're having a secret sale until March 15th. You can get 20% off of all their gorgeous handmade hair florals.

Budgeting for Flowers

We've nixed the carnations and are going with gerber daisies. They're still fairly inexpensive and I love the look of them. I'm not sure if I'm going to DIY or use a florist. I think I'll set up an appointment sometime in the next month and see what a florist would charge for my bouquet, three bridesmaid bouquets, the corsages & boutonnieres and maybe try DIY centerpieces. Lovin' these looks:

Carnations?

I had originally planned on using roses... but with our budget and seeing these pictures, I think carnations might be an option. Aren't these beautiful?!
