I'm really excited about skipping the vendor route and doing most, if not all, of our wedding stuff ourselves. I'm a pretty hands-on kind of girl and a wee bit of a control freak so there was never any question about this being a DIY wedding. I also like simplicity which makes this centerpiece trend ideal for me. For a long time I didn't even think I would have flowers for the wedding. And then I thought wouldn't it be fun to go around to all of my folks' neighbors the day before and ask if I can have some flowers from their gardens. My parents live in an itty bitty, New England town where there are a lot of Colonial houses and gorgeous gardens. We've been there for a million years and my mom is in the garden club so it wouldn't be too hard to gather beautiful bouquets. Just in case I can't collect enough I'll probably take a quick swing by Trader Joes for some extra buds. My mother and I both collect jars of every shape and size and I would love to just put a mish mash of jars on each table. I imagine a million jars full of candles too. Even though it's a big trend these days, I think it's pretty and classic enough to work in a couple of years too.
And my perfect bouquet:
