two hundred days

Sounds like a lot, doesn't it?

My consultation w/the florist was the most fun I've had W-planning since the day I selected my dress. We sat down, envisioned, planned loosely, jotted notes, and suddenly I had my first Authoritative Bride moment. I had a list. I had a plan. I had a vision of ... Gerbera daisies?

I surprise myself sometimes.

I wish I could post more details.

I think I'm sort of the opposite of the cautionary tale, the girl who spends so much energy planning a wedding that the marriage part falls to the wayside, and, subsequently, sucks. I have put all my heart into our relationship and just sort of neglected the wedding part, and am just waking up to how fun it can be.

P.S. OK I had no visions of Gerbera daisies, which is why I am convinced that this is the floral designer for me. I threw out adjectives, she suggested specifics. Some surprising, most spot-on. I love her already. I hope we don't break up when she hits me with the estimate tomorrow.

All I ask is no carnations. Any other flowers will be great, just no carnations. Lorelai can't decide, but I KNOW, they're tacky, not retro.

Roses are always classic, but usually too expensive. My suggestion? Go very minimal or uncut. I went to a wedding once with potted plants and flowers. They dressed up the pots and hid them with tulle and bought cheap (but cute) pots for the reception. Not only was it a great idea, it was cheaper and the flowers were donated to a senior citizen home (Pali Momi I believe) after the wedding. I could never stomach spending money on something that'll die in a few hours anyway.
