Flowers
Inspiration
To save cash (our budget is $500) we were originally going to be are doing our own flowers and ordering from fiftyflowers.com. But recently a friend of my Dad's said she would meet the websites price for flowers and put them together for an extra hundred bucks. We are about $70 over budget but we think it will be well worth it:
Bouquets (10 in total; 1-Bride, 8-2 MOHS, 6 Maids, 1-Toss)
MOHS & Maids -10 cream purple mini calla lilies, 3 peacock feathers
Bride -30 Grape Velvet mini calla lilies, 10 peacock feathers
Toss-whatever is left after all bouquets, corsages, and boutinneres
Boutonnieres (21 in total; 1-Groom, 1-MOB, 8-BM and Groomsman, 1-Ring Bearer, 3-Dads, 2-Grandpas, 4-Ushers, 1-Reader)
BM, Groomsmen, Reader, Fathers, Grandfathers, and Ring Bearer - 1 cream purple mini Calla lily, 1 yellow freesia, 1 peacock feather
MOB and MOG - 2 peacock feathers, 3 Grape Velvet mini calla lilies
Groom - 2 peacock feathers, 2 Grape Velvet mini calla lilies
Corsages (4 in total; 1-Grandma, 1-Guest Attendant, 2 readers)
All - 2 peacock feathers, 3 Grape Velvet mini calla lilies
The Mothers of the Bride and Groom both opted for boutonnieres instead.
I will post pictures of the final product after the wedding.
We won't be doing any additional flower arrangements at the Church or the Reception Venue (as a gift the venue creates one for our head/sweetheart table) but we do have some great decor still. This has saved us a bundle.

My Bouquet
Bridal Party Vases
I created these vases for my bridesmaids, maid of honor, matron of honor, and one for me as well (mine is slightly larger) to hold out bouquets throughout the reception. I came across the personalized leather luggage tags for $2 each at Michael's and the vases for $1 each at Dollar Tree. Unfortunately there was not a huge selection in color for the tags at Michael's so the colors are not my wedding colors, but I think they are still super cute! Since Michael's was out of my first initial I used the initial for my new surname. The first time using the W!!
