With my only affordable florists no longer options (I think I mentioned that), I've turned to the internet for options. Earlier today, I mentioned
Costco had amazing deals on invitations. Did you know they also deliver flowers in bulk? Holy moly. They have very affordable options... and even offer packages that include pre-made bouquets, bouts, centerpieces, etc. It's amazing what you find when you do a little internet search! Here are a couple more sites I've found that seem very reasonable:
www.freshroses.com (they have much more than roses),
www.fiftyflowers.com and
www.farmstogo.comMy arrangements might not look exactly like this, but I could always try! I think I need to buy myself flowers for the next six months to practice!
My dad is making me boxes to go around long vases out of our old fence wood, similar to this:
We're also planning to use some old blue Ball jars I've collected over the years as some vases.
Some of the centerpieces will have birch sleeves around the vases.
I think this one is my favorite.

We did something very similar for our rehearsal dinner flowers. We had a bbq, so we kept it really simple - votives in old blue mason jars, and daisies and greenery in birch sleeves. It was super cheap, and exactly what I wanted! My mother in law added vintage candy which honestly wasn't exactly what I wanted, but people ended up loving it and tables were trading it, so I guess the moral of the story is to just let some things go!

we have the exact same taste...that is exactly what I would want to! I cant believe you have the wood from your old fence...how meaningful too!
Thanks for the links, Cats!! Love what you did for the RD. I might have to steal the idea of the tablecloths!
DIY flowers are completely doable! My mom and I did all the flowers for the bridal party (16 total), family, 16 centerpieces, and 2 large arrangements at the front of the church.
You may want to see if there is a wholesale florist in your area that sells to the public. I checked out several websites and the shipping costs made it more expensive.
Good luck!
awww. it's going to be beautiful.
Gorgeous!
Just so pretty! Lush and romantic and above all looks so refined!
