Bride's Bouquet:
The bridal bouquet is finished! Whew!!! Actually it went together real easy, and it kinda took on a life of it's own. It sort of made itself. I just start placing flowers, and if I don't like how it looks in one place I move it somewhere else. I'm strictly self taught, and until 2 years ago I didn't know I could do it! I just started playing around with a bouquet holder and floral pins, and everyone liked the results. The funny thing about doing the flowers for weddings is when I do then, I don't get nervous at all ! I'm really pleased and pretty proud of this bouquet! I was worried, because of the color purple that Mariah picked. The only ones I had made were with red and white being the predominate colors. So I didn't know how this one would turn out, but I think it's my favorite so far! I had trouble finding the right color and shade of purple, so I don't know if I'd ever agree to do another purple one. Who knows, though if the budget for the flowers was unlimited, and I could shop at Hobby Lobby, and Michael's, and JoAnn's for all of the flowers, then I might! Trying to stick to a budget is hard, especially if it is a slim budget! Tomorrow I will do the Maid of honor's bouquet and get the rest of the flowers to make the other 5. I ran out of white flowers today when I finished the Brides Bouquet. I should have the rest of the bouquets done by Tuesday evening.


Mess:
When I do flowers everything goes by the way side. Our fiver is a huge mess with boxes of flowers all over the couch, and all over the table. I didn't get the dishes done today so I'll have to face that in the morning before I get my shopping started. There is only 6 more days before the wedding! It's hard to believe it's almost here. The time sure has gone fast. I guess I work best under pressure, since I waited to the last week to get the bouquets done. I should be back on top of everything by Tuesday evening. The rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner are on Friday evening, so once Thursday gets here I probably won't be able to write on my blog much until Sunday, so please forgive me in advance if I miss a few days here. I hope to be able to get a few pictures during the wedding and the rehearsal for you! See ya tomorrow, so until then...
