78 Days to Go - Picking out Suits, Ties, and Flowers

Picking Out the Details...

Over the break, my fiance and I have gotten a lot done. 

I set aside a day to go pick out suits and rings... so much fun!

Below is what we have decided to go with: 

A navy blue suit & olive green ties for the groomsmen.

I think the two compliment  colors in the fabric.

For my groom, I chose a tie that has green, gray, sage, and though you cannot see it- orange thread.

Sounds kind of different, but it works very well. 

Last thing to get are shoes. Because we are getting married by the lake, and brown and blue go well together, I want my groom to wear brown top siders. I think they will be perfect. 

I went with my stepmom to our florists as well. We picked out flowers, centerpieces, and other details that were so exciting to chose!

I wanted to have flowers that match the fabric, but don't over exaggerate it.

Below are a few ideas I had in mind: 

Flowers that have a similar look to the ones printed on 

Michael Miller's Springtime at the Conservatory.

I like the idea of separate bouquets, each with a different flower as the focus. 

Because my dress is very simple, I want my bouquet to stand out and compliment the bridesmaid dresses at the same time. 

I want my groom, and his groomsmen to have little boutonnieres that have a touch of each flower found at the wedding as well.

 

Maybe without the colorful bottom though...

For my bridesmaids, I wanted their bouquets to be simple because their dress material is already so bright and colorful. 

Like so...

Come to find out that the baby daisies don't bloom in March... onto the next idea!

Having a different flower focus for each bridesmaid!

So for the final decision, my wedding flowers are as follows:

1. Purple Iris
2. Coral Renauculous
3. Blue Delphinium
4. Yellow Freesia
5. Monte Cassinos
6. Billy Balls

The first four will be for the bridesmaids, and the last two are exclusively in my bouquet, my groom's boutonniere, and my dad's boutonniere.

 

I can't wait to see how it all turns out :-) This was definitely an exciting step in the planning process!
