Go to www.superweddings.com for ideas on flowers and any type of wedding decorations and youcan order rfrom there too. I was in the bridal shop trying on my dress and found a book that had a bouquet on the cover that I wanted for my bouquet. I got the title of the book and ordered it. It might help you. It's called Wedding Style by Sy Snarr or just go to http://www.chapelleltd.com/books/wedding.shtml to view some of the ideas in the book. I ordered it from amazon.com for $11.26. Let me know if you find something. Hope this helps

islandbride, that bread and breakfast sounds like a good idea. Do you have to check out early like at hotels? Good luck with your bouquet. The picture is beautiful.
God is good all the time and all the time God is good
the bed n breakf. usually are a little more lenient...some have later checkouts....I love the rooms...i just dont want the regular run of the mill hotel room...

I hear ya. Thanks for the info.
God is good all the time and all the time God is good
Love the bouquet. You can have your generational flowers made of the same arrangement but much much smaller along with your husband's. That bouwuet feels so close to my heart because we have so much of them here on the island and I really never stopped to look and them along smell them.....that's what you call typical, I'm so ashamed of myself.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
Charlotte.....those flowers mean so much to me. My best friend since kindergarten used to pick them for me EVERY day...we would be teased because our school mates thought we liked eachother...we were just real tight...years went by, but he continued to pick them for me. When I went into the tenth grade one of our mutual friends died of an asthma attack. We were all crushed...and my best friend told me that even when he dies, he will continue to show up in my life ...and those flowers would be his presence. Well after we all graduated, and years later....he did pass away at the tender age of 28..from aids complications..I was the only one he told of his lifestyle...and in return for keeping his secret.. he picked the most beautiful flowers for me. Well up to this day...I grow them, pick them, collect ornaments...etc. This will be his day to shine...on my bouquet. I hope yall not out there yawnin'....I just have alot to share...with whoever wants to listen....

Girl that story is so beautiful and meaningful....it kills me inside to hear the story behind the flowers. You absolutely must have a shrine with this type of flowers during the ceremony and reception in his honor. This is so heart filling and really warms my heart and you are a very good friend to hold a secret such as that....sometimes people who call themselves our friends usually are the ones who betray our secret...you are a wonderful friend.....worthy to be called friend.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
hey Charlotte.....yeah those flowers are very special...I will have the bouquet, boutt. for the guys....on the pew bows....on my headtable centerpieces...(i made them today...im so excited!)...and at the reception i will remove the veil and wear some behind my ear.
I will post the poem I wrote for his memorial booklet on here...makes me sad, and happy at the same time because I know he is smiling..

Charlotte, I know u are familiar with the flower right...u know that once the bloom is off the branch...they die...or at night fall they close up...here is the poem:
Bold TextRed Hibiscus
The sun peeks its head over the grey clouds barely enough to dry the glistening dew beads on each new leaf. Shiny droplets cascade down the wrinkled red dress of the shy hibiscus. Rows of pollen dangle on her neck like a string of pearls. The wind blows-and like a sudden breath she sways from side to side. Forbidden is the dance yet clinging tightly to her weak branch...the music stops. Slowly each petal unfolds exposing a tiny new blossom. Eager is the child to pick the prettiest one. Shy red hibiscus remains untouched, unpicked, confused. Like a busy highway, the ants stomp all over her narrow stem...attracting wild birds who pick at her fleshy trim. As the day's end draws near...the sun sinks back into hiding..and the little flower shyly closes her tired petals and sleeps steadily upon her broken branch...her secret never exposed.

Islandbride,please accept my condolenses on the loss of your special friend.Indeed, the flowers are symbolic of a strong friendship.That is a lovely way to honor him.
Born Blessed!
Thanks platinum...I know if he was here...I would probably have the same bouquet *smile*
HIS eye is on the sparrow, and I know HE watches.........me
Islandbride...I am oh so familiar with this delicate flower. It really hurts me that you lost such a dear friend and I know how hard it is to call someone friend and when you finally do they are gone. Listen this poem is wonderful, it is an excellent tribute...I hope it will be read during the ceremony in honor of your friend.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
