Lewis and I decided not to hire a florist. I know.... many of you I'm sure are thinking we are crazy. But we are practical people. And we also happen to be the people paying for the wedding. We couldn't justify spending hunderds of dollars or more on flowers that we would be throwing away after using for only a few hours. It just didn't make sense to us.Soooooooooo....I made a trip to Michael's. I decided to try my hand at making flower arrangements. In particular, I wanted to make Heather and Michelle's bouquets. I was in luck.... Michael's was justs putting out their fall arrangements so everything wasn't picked over. I found some beautiful autumn flowers that I thought would be great for our fall theme. Wednesday night I put together my first bouquet..... and it's perfect! I started snipping and arranging and adding a bit here and there ... and WALAH! I have to say I'm pretty proud of my creation. It is ridiculous how much money I saved on these flowers. I think I'll take those savings to the craps tables on our honeymoon! :-)
