Last week, I had my final appointment with our florist who put together a table sample. I’m a dummy when it comes to things like decor and flowers. I can totally appreciate nice design but I can’t coordinate things very well. This is why I leave things to the professionals—for example, the centerpieces.

The Vision & The Reality

“Garden arrangement, pinks, whites, purples, candles” was my vision, and here is the reality:

Want a closer look? See the roses, hydrangea, and some other flowers names I don’t know.

I love the pink petals and the floating candle:

Then I started getting crazy and asking about other options for the flower stand and candlesticks:

But… due to lack of decisiveness, I’m just going to stick with what we got. Flowers, check! What’s next?

Ceremony Canopy

We’ve decided to do an indoor ceremony to avoid 3 things - heat, wind, rain. Indoors will be calm, cool, and during sunset to give that romantical glow. In doing so, our florist suggested a ceremony structure in lieu of flower pedestals. At first I was reluctant because of the price but deep down inside I do love flowy sheers! We’re also adding candles behind the back sheer for even MORE romanticalness.

This was a budget buster for sure. However, when we factored a few less tables (due to a smaller guest list), we actually came out even steven (debbie downer’s more balanced cousin, haha) to the original proposal. Phew! I wasn’t sure how to explain to Mr. Lobster the additional cost… or how I’d just sneak it in.

Did you make any last minute changes to your ceremony or decor?
