{ideas} flowers & hospice

i keep having to remind myself to take a deep breath..cause y'all, i am so excited. i spoke with my incredibly nice, patient, and super intuitive floral designer late the other night. we went over flowers, style, colors..everything. she suggested some options without being pushy and i felt completely comfortable with her. in the end, she seemed just as excited as i was about what we came up with...

so here it is:

for the ceremony, we will have 1 bridal bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets, 4 bouts total and 2 corsages for the moms. they will all have the feeling of this:

for centerpieces, banquet tables and cake flowers, we are using these:

also... 2 bay leaf and lavender wreath's to hang on each of the white barn doors:


and one large one to hang right above the fireplace:


i think the coolest part about the whole thing is that she can set up for perenity to stop by the next day and take the flowers from the reception to a local hospice hospital. what a wonderful way to celebrate life, flowers, beauty, and hope...

I love the flowers you picked out! I'm so sad that ranunculus aren't available in the fall, I wanted them for my wedding too! I think the wreaths on the barn doors and above the mantle will look perfect!

The flowers are just beautiful, Amy! You have done such a wonderful job with everything. It's going to be a gorgeous day.
And I'm so impressed with the arrangement to have the flowers donated! So many people don't think of a way to extend their bounty to others. Flowers truly brighten the day...Just having them around brings a smile to your face. I can only imagine how special those people are going to feel when your gorgeous arrangements arrive.

I, too, am so impressed with the Hospice donation. What a cool and special thing.
Everything is really coming together, isn't it? It seems like it's going to be a beautiful day. Congratulations!

They are gorgeous! I keep looking at all the spring stuff lately and wishing I could have ranunculas but I know that the dahlias will be gorgeous instead for my stuff too.
