What do you do with them after the soire...Flowers. What do you do with them after the soiree? Because Jordan's wedding was out of town, I had to watch 11 centerpieces be thrown away at midnight. The florist needed her containers back the next day and most guests had left or were leaving by the time I had to make the decision to toss them. I certainly couldn't take them home on the plane with me...just to have them to deal with once I got home. Ouch. I just wish I wouldn't have seen them tossed away.<br /><br />I hate to think the florists knows that all their hard work gets tossed...but surely they do know that. They must enjoy the process of floral arranging or they wouldn't be able to stand to know their product doesn't stay around. <br /><br />The bride and bridesmaids' bouquets probably got tossed, too....maybe days later...but I didn't have to see that. <br /><br />Most of the money that goes towards a wedding is consumed that evening...food, alcohol, music, clothing...so I guess add flowers to that total. ha. <br /><br />The pictures are proof that the flowers were beautiful.

The flip flops are such a cute idea. <br /><br />I finished beading the veil and in my insanity decided that since I couldn't find a dress for myself that I was happy with, I'm making one. Yes, crazy. Certifiable. But it's almost done.<br /><br />I have a hard time throwing out flowers, too. And the roses and hydrangeas all look so soft and pretty.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.com
