flowers flowers and more flowers

the one thing that my ever loving fiance really cared about in terms of wedding "florals" were the centerpieces...when we signed out contract with fox hollow and did a final walkthrough of the ballroom, they were setting it up for a wedding and these guys were being put into place

we have been trying to get quotes for this guy and it's EXPENSIVE!!!! UBER DUPER EXPENSIVE, the fairest price we got so far was actually from our in house florist, which is fantastic but still a bit over budget for us, so i don't know if we really wanna suck it up or if we want to look for something else...chris really loves it and i can care less what the centerpieces look like really (i know, ::GASP::), but when it comes to our personal flowers, THAT my friends are another story...so we all know my girls will be wearing sapphire, so i started brainstorming what would work great with the dresses, and i came across this:

Doesn't this look sharp? the flowers bring out the color of the blue dresses and the dress really makes the green stand out i thought... i love it! the best part is, i love white roses, the cream ones with a hint of green are also a favorite and to top it all off i love green orchids! its like harmony!

i also saw this which i thought was kinda interesting and would possibly work very well too, let me know what you think:

the bouts and corsages will obviously also echo these same flowers roses and orchids...flower girl will most likely be throwing the standard rose petals..

i also had a vision of a petal lined aisle like this instead of an aisle runner

but that will probably be overkill :)
