Lilies, Hydrangeas, Orchids Bouquet

The Hydrangea

Cheap Flowers

The easiest way to get cheap flowers for you wedding is to use ones that are in season for the date you've set. In Marissa's case she will need flowers that bloom in the summer for her June wedding. Here is a long list of summer flowers:

Either Marissa has done her homework or she is coincidentally in luck for the flowers she wishes to have for her wedding!

A Sage and Eggplant Wedding Palette

I will hopefully be compiling posts for Marissa's wedding in a year (next June 2011). So far all I know is that the following two things are important:

1. Sage green and eggplant purple will be the wedding colors.

2. This wedding must be a thrifty and affordable one! (as most have to be)

Will find out more musts in the near future!

Make note that along with sage and eggplant, Silver is encorporated. I believe that there are other colors that would work just as well...but I have yet to explore them!

How to Be the Best Friend Ever

My best friend mailed a letter to me...and I finally got it!! When we exchange "letters" it is no rinky-dink affair. Our letters are the ironmen, the alpha males, the bouncers of letters. Quite simply, they are the coolest collections of affection.

The Directions...

So many small touches...

...make this letter and my world go round.
