Flowers

I definitely want to go with Calla lilies. They may not be original but they're classic and beautiful and I want to do something simple. I'm about 90% sure I can do the bouquets and corsages and boutonnieres myself (with maybe just a little help!). It would save a bunch of money anyway. A friend gave me the idea to order them in bulk, and they were beautiful and affordable too.

Simple, elegant hand-tied bouquets.
















I love these! I could tie the groomsmen and ring bearer's with guava ribbon to match the bridal party.




I found some instructions that sound simple enough. I could always pick up a few fake flowers to practice with first! http://www.ehow.com/how_4454927_make-calla-lily-boutonneire.html


And here are a couple of ordering options, depending how many flowers I need.

Sam's Club
Do I absolutely need 150 mini callas? Probably not, but I'm sure I could use them for something.

Costco
They offer more managable quantities, but don't have minis.
