As I mentioned when I went through the first trial run of my wedding bouquet, I think I’d rather have a single type flower represented. We have people coming for dinner tomorrow night, so I wanted some flowers. I figured it was a good chance to try out a new bouquet style.
We were at Giant picking up some groceries and I popped a bouquet of cream colored spray roses in the cart. One bouquet - six stems. Total cost $4.
I followed the same procedure as the first dry run, including using clear packing tape and straight pins. This time I wrapped the bouquet in the ivory ribbon that matches my dress and added my something blue to the arrangement - a brooch with an aquamarine that belonged to my grandmother (her birthstone).
I really like the results.
Here’s a close up of the brooch.
It’s so simple and pretty - exactly what I wanted. And, again $4! Seriously, $4.

Quoting Suz:
“I love the simple”
That works out well for Don and Tori!
