Flowers...really?

So because I don't really care about flowers much, I enlisted the help of my "aunt" Ela to coordinate that business. And oh man, and I ever glad she is in my life. I asked her if she would want to help me with that, and she said that she hoped that I would ask! Sweet!

The day after on an etsy finds email, I found these flowers that I am kind of in love with. So she says that the closest real flower she can think of are these which are of course perfect. I really have never cared for cut flowers, but those were amazing! I love black and white, and great contrast. And then she sends me a bunch more that I might be interested in. This is going to be so much better than I thought. I was all set to just get a bouquet from Kroger for $5 because I didn't care. Sure these will be more, but the fact that I am actually kind of exited about something as frivolous and silly as flowers is saying something, for sure!

Sometimes I feel like this wedding stuff isn't that bad. Especially when I am not the one that has to do it!

In that same vein, I bought my veil on etsy yesterday. It's the kind of veil that is almost like not having one, but it will push me on the right side of the fine line between prom attendant and one who is marrying. (After reading One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding, I can't stand the word "bride" anymore. Seriously. I don't know why, but that word is like nails on a chalk board now.) And it was only $22 bucks! That is cheaper than the DYI kits at Michaels!
