Okay hive, this is really it. Are you ready? I promise, no more flower posts from me (unless they’re recaps). Because I’ve finally decided on the flowers, and there is simply no turning back. Yay for making decisions!
Since changing our color scheme, and flowers, and the flowers again, our florists (rightfully so) wanted to re-meet with us. I headed back over to their house armed with my many pages of print outs. I’m serious, I had over 10 sheets with more than a photo per page. They must think I’m crazy.
I had gotten hooked on Michelle Rago’s Elegant Bride cover bouquet waaaaay back in the day, and it still remains the most beautiful bouquet I’ve ever laid eyes on. However, as we all know, if you’re not getting married in the spring, you may have to stay away from a lot of your favorite flowers. Peace out sweet peas and grape hyacinth!
Instead, my bouquet will be composed of the following:
For the D’orsay ladies? They’ll be rocking big fluffs of baby’s breath (big bee shout outs to Strawberry, Joey, and especially the newly minted Mrs. Powder Puff for putting the idea into my head in the first place).
Mr. D? He’ll sport brunia with a bit of lavender, while his G’men wear poofs of baby’s breath with a bit of lavender, as well. Brunia are the little gray balls in the photo, below.
As for the centerpieces? You’ll just have to wait and see how they evolved, or rather… devolved.
Is there a part of wedding planning that has consistently had you waffling?
Don’t lie, you’re gonna post more flower posts 
I can’t get enough of these purple flowers… and the brunia is too cute for words!
Wow, you are right, that cover is amazing! I’ve never seen a bouquet in purples so well done! I still think yours will be just as amazing and I love love love lavender so be happy I won’t be there—I’d be all up in your bouquet smelling it! HAHA
Those are gorgeous! I can’t wait to see your recap pics. 
I’m also doing baby’s breath for the bridesmaids’ bouquets… as of today, anyway. We’ll see where I am in two months with that decision!
I like the brunia - very cool.
We waffled on the menu for - er the last 8 months. We went back and forth on buffet v. sit down….didn’t want to spend the extra dough. But I just negotiated a great deal with our venue and we’re doing the sit down. Yay for making decisions!
ooh, those are gorgeous. haha, i actually wrote ‘yay for making decisions’ today on a flower post, too! so you’re in good company! <3
I’m so glad I could be of assistance! Your flowers are going to be gorgeous!!!
*swoon* Your flowers are going to be so pretty I can’t wait for your flower recaps!
We are doing baby’s breathe too!! Keep posting those flowers… you know we love it!
That big purple bouquet is my inspiration, too. I love the babies breathe poofs.. can’t wait to see how they come out!
I have to say I am sad to think you will have no more flower posts. You always pick the best pics
Weren’t Dumpling’s BM’s bouquet made with baby breath? I can’t say for sure without going to look, but I do remember that they were gorgeous! I think baby’s breath is so romantic when it’s bunched together like that. And carnations! Just watch when these start catching on, they’ll start to go higher in price…lol
Looks GREAT, Miss D! I love the way all of these come together…it is going to be gorgeous!
Love your choices! How cool is the brunia? I can’t wait to see how everything comes together!
ohh that cover magazine is breathtaking!! can’t wait to see the final result!
LOVE the purple, it’s so whimsical and fun! I think it will be a great pairing to the baby’s breath too…which, btw, I’m really starting to love; when done right it’s fabulous!
I LOVE lavender! I can’t wait to see what they look like in the recaps!
I love the idea of the baby’s breath bouquets - its something you would potentially overlook as a possibility, but it looks just adorable!
