Peonies and...I think your flower choices are great! Peonies and ranunculus are both so beautiful and give so much impact with just a few blooms esp. in bouquets. The color palette you picked out is really lovely too. <br /><br />The faux mercury glass idea is so brilliant! I think that will look great with your flower colors especially but also with any cool-toned flower colors.<br /><br />I used some of the same flowers you plan to - lisianthus (cream) & larkspur (pink shades). I was very happy with those flowers! I used the larkspur as ceremony flowers and in wrist corsages since they are big and showy. I ordered a lot of them and the lisianthus since they were both very reasonable. I used lisianthus in the bouquets, they held up beautifully and helped make the bouquets look really full. I also had roses but I went with little roses. The lisianthus looked great with the roses, they really complement each other.<br /><br />We did assemble all the ceremony arrangements, centerpieces, and bouquets the day before the wedding, putting them in their own vases/containers but not tying up the bouquets. That worked out very well and the flowers held up fine even though it was very hot out. We did the boutonnieres & corsages & tied up the bouquets the morning of while primping and it was fun. <br /><br />I think the only problem I encountered was confusion getting all the flowers placed for the ceremony and the centerpieces on the tables. When I arrived at the location I got dressed then I realized too late that I could not go out to do that and there were MANY bridesmaid and my Mother problems so they couldn't either. Jon's sisters helped out with it and possibly Michelle and my friend Lisa. Michelle & Lisa also very kindly took charge of distributing the boutonnieres and corsages and that was great. If you are able to have the centerpieces placed in advance or have the restaurant do that for you that will be great and avoid that difficulty. You'll also have Michelle there and she is super helpful in all things! Yay! <br /><br />SusanMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458723413431927352.post-56198665462162999832012-04-05T18:48:20.790-04:002012-04-05T18:48:20.790-04:00Do you have any TWINE?!?!?!
