So…it’s been a while since I posted, huh? Well, to try and keep everything organized, I’m going to try to recap everything.

We settled on Bloomers Flowers for the florist, and are going to go with round bouquets of spring roses, hydrangea, and I THINK stephanotis. (This is why I should have blogged about this sooner!) The people on the isles will be adding regular sized roses.

Sami’s bouquets will be similar, and the corsages will be roses…I think. I’m not sure. I was disappointed that lilies wouldn’t be able to be included in them, but the only ones the florist had access to would have been too big for the bouquet size I wanted.

We are also ordering ferns for the gazebo, and are having little cups filled with flowers hanging from the chairs on the isle. I bought containers that I thought would work, but it turns out that they might be WAY too big. But they were only 87 cents each, so if they do work, it will be quite the steal!

And our idea for the centerpieces has COMPLETELY changed. We are no longer going with the idea I had in college, but we’re taking a cue from the place that we’re getting married. I bought bird feeder gazebos off ebay, (seen above) and my dad was able to get the tops off, so we can add flowers inside. It’s going to be sooo pretty! He also added these little tabs so the lids won’t slide around. They’ll have to be glued or nailed again if they are ever going to live as bird feeders, but they’re great for our purposes now.

The seller (xtremebuys4u) was really great with communication. Shipping was crazy expensive, but the bird houses were only 5 bucks each, so it was ok. Two of them arrived a little damaged, and when I told the seller, he sent me two more at no extra charge. Sweet!

I also a birdcage at Michaels for $20 that will be great to put the cards in, once it’s lined with fabric. It was originally $40, but was 50% off. Can you believe it?! I *so* lucked out!
