A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Okay, it wasn’t really like that. Let me start over.

Not too long ago while slouched over on the sectional in the living room, I decided to get my act together and figure out what kind of flowers I wanted for the wedding. Well, I already knew I wanted ruffly flowers, but that was about it. I briefly considered finding a clairvoyant florist, but figured it would be easier to put a little more thought into it. I didn’t really want to.

I’ve been worried about flowers since I got engaged. I know next to nothing about flowers. Maybe even less than nothing about flowers. No one I dated before Mr. DD ever really brought me flowers. Clearly I should have been dating more flower-conscious types.

But seriously–billy buttons, anemones, chocolate cosmos? What are those?? And why did it seem so time-consuming to try to figure it out? Rather, I am known for researching things to death. When you’re running out of planning time, this doesn’t quite work out. But what’s a wedding without flowers?

So I spent a couple of hours communing with flower pictures on the internet, and here’s what I came up with:

Romantic, ruffly bouquets (Source)

White boutonnieres with greenery and just enough visual interest to keep Mr. DD happy (Source)

Romantic-looking centerpieces kept relatively small in order to accommodate our family-style dinner service (Source)

Simple rose garlands, which will be in pale pink and ivory to match the other flowers (Source)

To round things out, we’ll have a decorated arch as a focal point for our outdoor ceremony and rose petals lining both sides of the aisle.

And there you have it, the floral look for the Dew Drop wedding. Wow, who knew it would be so easy to get over my flower fear??

How did you decide on a floral look for your wedding?
