Am very grateful for the many frugal flower suggestions have received since posted cry for help yesterday.
Am fiercely determined to get bridal bouquet, three bridesmaids bouquets, 2 flower girl bouquets, 6 boutennieres, and two corsages for grand total of $220. Have relieved savvy Step Mum of stressful flower detail.
Had sudden, creative impulse. Will test drive DIY bouquet. Best Women are on board. Like idea of sipping and snipping. Carnations to the rescue!!
Am rather pleased with myself. Thinking am rather innovative. Picturing solid carnation bouquet (no babies breath), bound with stylish fabric ribbon.
Head straight to craft shop. Spend $5.99 on lovely ribbon. Then cross street for serious chat with corner store florist. Am seeking two dozen carnations. Since when did this 'filler flower' get to be a buck a stem? Am cursing Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City episode where she muses: 'I think carnations are making a comeback'.
Now somewhat intimidated, select pre-made bouquet of casablanca lilies, carnations, and daisies, for $10.99.
Run home with flowers, ribbon, and bottle of wine.
Have officially invested $17 in Project Flower so far. Now picturing happy compromise between DIY bouquet and pro job.
