  Centerpieces and there will be candles all around them and orange petals scattered on the table.

We are having 20 guests maybe closer to 30 not sure yet, but if we only have 20 I plan on doing one long table and having on of these centerpieces then a vase with one of the bouquets in between each one.  Otherwise the head table will have the bouquets doubling as centerpieces with 2 of these on the head table. 

 

This is the canopy set-up that I want that is actually off her website. I'm undecided on the orchids there just because they are so expensive, and I've already started the DIY project of making fabric pomanders with the intention of hanging them on the front of the canopy.  I'm also going to have her set up some luminaries around the reception area and add extra lighting.

 

 

Vlynnw I love your colours!! Is it  posible to get all these flowers in Cancun IN May? Great idea to have the bouquets as centerpieces.

 

The canopy is fantastic and I bet what you are preparing for the front of it will be as pretty with the extra warm feeling that you made it yourself! 

 

As for the luminaries, I´m having those too. I really like the romantic touch they add to the reception.  I´m so happy that I can share all this info with you!! I´m having 80 people so I´ll have a head table and 6 or seven round or squared tables (still doubting) with 8 or 10 guests each, and a centerpiece on each table.  My colors are purple and orange but now I´m beginning to think that´s too bright. I don´t want to break the peaceful "sea frame" . Maybe some earth tones would be better...

Vlynnw,

 

My colors are very similar to yours and I'm doing similar bouquets of orange callas and green cym. orchids for my MOH too!  Mine will be white callas and green orchids.

Here are my inspiration pics (but with less roses) of all my wedding colors

Bridesmaids colors + MOH in purple (groomsmen in light green s/s linen shirts)

My bridesmaids will be holding purple callas and green orchids, since my sis is wearing purple and bouquet is coral/green

I love your bouquet, and your centerpiece ideas with using the wine bottles, those look great!

 

Nan - I think purple and orange are great, what shade of purple are you going with?

I want purple as in the first pic or a lighter shade as in the second one. th other colours would be orange of course and I might add a little white or yellow.

WOW, i love all of these, Vlynnw... yours are so unusual, they are gorgeous x

[vlynnw]

Nan - those look great, and I of course don't believe in anything being too bright since I kinda have a bright scheme myself! haha!

[pineapplebride]

Omg all these flowers are gorgeous! I am going to have to contract this florist too!!

I had no clue it was even possible to get flower centerpieces for so cheap! I was planning on bringing down some stuff for centerpieces to save money.

Hi Ladies!

Its been a few weeks since my last post, and I LOVE all the pictures you've shared.  Here's what my real touch flowers will look like and a picture of my BM dress!  For our centre piece, we will put our BM flowers (in a square glass vase) with tea light candles on each side of the vase.  What do you think?

 

 

 

Instead of the green rose, I will have white calla lilies

 

My MOH's dress is floor-length, my other BM's will have knee-length =)

(Sorry for the tiny photo!)

LOVE IT!!!

Beautiful!!! the flowers are great and I absolutely love the dress!

 

I haven´t decided on my BM dressses yet. I have thought about giving them a colour and having them choose their style. I think This way each one can decide what suits her best

 

 Is this a good idea?
