April Showers Bring September Flowers

April 2009

Today after work I am finally meeting with a florist to start getting a better sense for what floral options we have for the wedding, or more likely, what options fall into our budget. Just chatting on the phone with one florist made it obvious that bouquets and centerpieces are just the start in the growing list of floral accessories a bride can dream up for the big day. For instance, apparently I need to decide whether to order corsages/boutonnieres for "significant" guests at the wedding. Seems like another way to alienate your friends and family to me. Not only do we have to break the news about who's in the bridal party, who's invited, and who's invited with guest, now we also have to decide whether you're significant enough to warrant a personal flower. Fortunately all our guests are significant, which means none of you will get a corsage/boutonniere. BYOB/BYOC. :) I also spent some time over lunch today browsing etsy.com for earrings to wear with my dress. Hard to make a decision though, considering I'm a professional buy-now-keep-the-receipt-think-it-over-and-return-what-i-don't-like shopper. Here are a few of my favorites so far: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23856872 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24224708&ref=cat3_gallery_14 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22243030&ref=sr_gallery_3&&ga_search_query=pearl+cluster&ga_search_type=category&category=jewelry.earrings&ga_page=10&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title Guess I'll just give that some more thought since I doubt these independent sellers offer any sort of return policy. Up next on the agenda? Shoes!
