Part I: Wedding Bouquets

I'll admit, I've been dragging a little bit this morning.  It's been hard for me to get back into the swing of things after the long weekend, which I hope everyone enjoyed!  Originally, I had planned this post for later in the week but this morning, I decided it was a better fit for today.  Truth be told, I just wanted to peruse the internet for bouquets.I could look at flowers all day long (and normally, I do).  I've always been envious of floral designers.  Their talent of arranging a wide variety of blooms is something I wish I had.  Over the past few months, I've been collecting some of my favorite bouquets...

Centerpiece Cents: Fabric Leaf Tree

Just discovered StumbledUpon and "stumbledupon" this awesome idea from Two Girls Being Crafty.  Thought it would make a perfect contribution to our Centerpiece Cents feature.

Wedding Cakes: Volume 1

Wedding cakes are one of those "holy crap!" expenses.  At least it was for me.  I could NOT believe the cost of a wedding cake.  I had literally spent less on my wedding dress than the price estimate on the cake.  Luckily I found a friend whose mother was willing to make us one.I would highly recommend having someone you trust make a cake for you.  There are lots of easy and fun ideas out there and if you're cake doesn't look exactly like something out of a traditional bakery, that's ok!  It's ok because that also means that it won't look like every other wedding cake you've seen and it's cool to be different and...
