I called Pamela Cravens today who is the “house florist” for Battery Gardens. I don’t *have* to use her, but I like the work that’s on her website and she’s not supposed to be crazy expensive.

Since my wedding is next June, I thought this would be a good time to start thinking about the flowers. Whatever is in season now should be in season for the wedding… right? Apparently, it doesn’t always work that way. Pamela said that this year has been an awful one for flowers because of the heavy rains in the spring!! So I guess you can’t predict it.

I do need to pick out colors for flowers and the bridesmaid dresses. I originally wanted very light celedon green and lavender, but I just don’t think those colors will go with the dress I’ve fallen in love with! I know I said I wouldn’t post it, but I feel like I have so I can get honest opinions. MK… honey… are you peeking?

Stop scrolling right now ….

Don’t go any further …

Halt! Abort!

Not for MK’s eyes …

Is it safe yet?

Okay… I still don’t trust you, so the pic of the dress is alllll the way on the bottom of this post! Please, please, please don’t look!

I think orange would work best with the dress, but can you do orange flowers in June? And what color would I make the BM dresses? Black and give the BM’s pale peach flowers — similar to mine, but a lighter shade?

Ok, for anyone who knows me, stop laughing right now! Seriously. I mean it. I will not have an orange and black wedding unless I have no choice. Hehehe .

Maybe shades of purple?

I would love to have blue/lavender/green hydrangea or wildflowers, but it just won’t go with the dress!

Maybe off-white and green????

Okay, thank you for your patience. Here it is!!!!

I thought this bm dress and color (but full-length) would go well with “my” dress. It picks up the sash motif and the halter neckline looks a bit like the neck line of “my” dress.
