Flowers and Decor!

So I went to our flower appointment on Friday and everything is set flower wise. One more thing done! Our florist is great and she had so many ideas. We have all the corsages, boutonnieres and bouquets ordered. The boutonnieres and corsages are a mixture of roses and hydrangeas with very little greenery. For some reason I hate greenery so we are have as little as possible. The bouquets are just like that picture I showed you before. The bridesmaids will be white and then mine will be light blue with little jewels that Barb said I must have. Mackenzie is going to carry a flower ball. We are kind of thinking the task of throwing flowers might be asking a lot of her. (We are going to have petals placed in the aisle before we walk down.) Do you like the ball? Her flowers will be blue like mine and the ribbon will be navy blue.
We FINALLY have table decorations figured out! I feel much better. This might be a little hard to explain through words but I will try my best!

Okay so our tables will be set up in groups of 3. So this is three tables placed together in what I like to call a unit.
The purple circle in the center is a version of what Melissa created for us but just in a taller cylindrical vase.
Next are the light green circles which are these bubble vases with a mixture of light blue and clear gems and then they are filled with white hydrangeas. Then finally the yellow circles are exactly what Melissa made for us in the shorter cylindrical vase. Also these tables will have tea lights and seashells down the center in order to add a little flair to the tables. These tables will be in the big room of the reception and we are guessing we will have 15 of these 3 table units.

Because we are trying to seat so many people for dinner we also have to sit people in the bar area. These tables will be single table units so they must be decorated differently. These tables are going to be decorated every other table. So the first table will be set up like this.

The yellow circle is the cylindrical vase that Melissa made. The other two circles are votive candles. These tables will have seashells down the center but not the tea lights because the bar lights stay on so there really isn’t any point.

The second table will be set up like this.
The green circle is the bubble vases filled with white hydrangeas and then they will also have the votive candles and the seashells down the center.
So I hope this wasn't too confusing and I hope you can picture this all together! Let me know what you all think!!!!
