It was pretty cheap because she didn't charge me per stem for the gathered flowers, though I* had to pay her gathering fee and the structuring fee for the bouquets. We also reused the bridesmaids' bouquets to decorate the head table and used lots of greenery (cheap) to top reception tables. <br /><br />I like the puppies idea though. I told D and he snorted with laughter and said "make sure you put diapers on them." I am married to the most juvenile man on the planet. <br /><br />Also, cupcake rule breakage = AWESOME. I had an extra glass of sangria last night, which led to an extra bowl of kettle corn. I don't regret it. Mostly.<br /><br />*who am I kidding?

We didn't follow ANY rules, I don't think, and I wouldn't change anything about the day.<br />Not even the fact that I forgot to carry the bouquet! So, flowers, schmowers.<br /><br />I love the advice - "There are no rules". <br />Puppies would be wonderful, so are cupcakes.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208374967597840745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226094928881581894.post-21789105536981382602009-06-05T20:26:35.665-04:002009-06-05T20:26:35.665-04:00You get thesis cupcakes?

We didn't have wedding cake at our reception; we had dessert crepes. it's all up to you.<br />Good luck with the move and stuff. Scary/exciting at the same time ;)lisalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506556513672749033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226094928881581894.post-37594817988311363132009-06-05T18:05:30.407-04:002009-06-05T18:05:30.407-04:00don't worry darlin, i ate TWO cupcakes today, ...don't worry darlin, i ate TWO cupcakes today, and no i'm not lying! too bad you can't carry cupcakes down the aisle...hey might be a good idea...briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495165592860741098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226094928881581894.post-41909985399531309002009-06-05T17:39:36.142-04:002009-06-05T17:39:36.142-04:00i am a lurker, but felt the need to post today ......i am a lurker, but felt the need to post today ...<br /><br />change is hard - and you seem to have a lot of it right now ... and its hard even if it is all good stuff. your attitude about it all seems good though, and that is awesome! and good luck with the job thing - the unknown/uncertainties are what are so hard for me to deal with. i know it will all work out for the best though.<br /><br />and about the flowers - it is your wedding ... do whatever you like. personally i think it would be awesome to walk down the aisle with puppies! :) very originalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
