I’ve thus far been afraid to buy any one piece of my wedding day ensemble; this is mostly because of my concern about the flower colors that will be available on the big day. I’d hate to buy orange shoes and an orange hair accessory and dress Mr. Mary Jane up in an orange tie only to find… no orange or yellow flowers at any of the grocery stores in town. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to handle this. It isn’t a big concern, but I don’t want the colors to clash. I don’t want to go completely white with my accessories, either. I was to the point of considering consulting a florist and ordering flowers - something that I think would raise my floral budget quite a bit.

So I started to pay attention to the flowers at the grocery store. Whenever I go in, I try to take a moment to look at the floral selection. I’ve found that they usually have at least a few pink or yellow bunches of flowers and occasionally some other colors, but many of them are multi-colored bunches of mixed flowers, greenery and baby’s breath. These are flowers that appeal to the masses: bouquets fit for a grandmother’s birthday, a side-table centerpiece, or a friend recovering in the hospital. With that in mind, I give you this. (What’s a wedding planning girl [with little money to spend right now] to do? Plan, dream and Google-search, of course!!)

(A few notes regarding the photos: Mr. Mary Jane hasn’t picked out his ring yet, but some of the ones he likes are similar to the one above. And we’re planning to use one of our own vehicles as transportation: it’s fitting that they’re both white, eh? )

This is my current “vision” for our wedding day. Simple and colorful. Has your vision changed a lot throughout the planning process?
