Freshroses.com?

Has anyone used freshroses.com? They have great deals and I got the recommendation out of Bridal Bargains (A book EVERY bride should own, it's great!).





Anyhow, I have a friend who does flowers and will do them for me as a wedding gift if I order them.





Anyone?





Thanks :)

Freshroses.com?
I recommend Bridal Bargains too! Anyways I almost went with freshroses, but went with globalrose.com instead. This does not answer your question, but I DO NOT recommend them. They sent it to my billing address which was in Arkansas instead of where I was having my wedding (California). I am telling you this because it was a major set back in my wedding sense I order ALL of my flowers wholesale and planned on doing all my arrangements myself. Consider this in the equation. Luckily I it worked out. Freshroses looks legit though. Congrats.

Reply:I think it is a good idea if your friend is either trained or a professional if not Costco is your best bet. Their packages come arranged and are preiced reasonably for $429 you get:

Flower Girl dress help?

I'm looking for a flower girl dress for my daughter for my wedding, she is 2 yrs old, she will be 2 1/2 by the time of the wedding...We are trying not to spend alot of money due to she is only going to wear it once and it is a very simple wedding...


I have looked at bridal shops but they are WAY to expensive, I'm not trying to sound cheep, but I find 135.00 to much money on a 2 yr olds dress..so if any of you know of any links or places I can look online that would be great!!


Oh here is my dress

Reply:One of my flower girls wore this dress:


http://www.flowergirldressforless.com/mm...


It was A LOT cuter in person. I wish you could see it... :-( The bottom is done in layered organza-like fabric shaped like long leaves. And my seamstress took extra fabric from the bridesmaids' dresses and made the flowered "belt" out of that. (The flowergirl dress was white.)





AND: both my flower girls wore their dresses again. $75 is still a lot to spend on a dress, so I was happy to see pictures of them wearing the dresses at formal dinners and again on Easter!
Reply:There are lots of lovely ones here -

Reply:Perfect timing for this question. My flower girls purchased their dresses around Easter time...when all of the area department stores had their pretty white dresses out!!! We got all three flower girl dresses at JCPenney for super cheap. We had a 2 year old that we put in a cute lavender frilly Easter dress for like $25!!! The other girls were around $50-80 because they were older (7 and 10).





Go to your local department store - Sears, JCPenney, Kohl's, etc - and look for Easter dresses or even First Communion Dresses. Since she is 2 years old, you might be able to find something under Christening Gowns!





I agree that you shouldn't spend much on her dress. Be sure to buy a size up in case she grows a bit between now and the wedding!
Reply:I ordered my flowergirl dress and the ring bearer tux from the site below. They were beautiful and fit great and paid $60.
Reply:try Target.com. They have some very nice dresses for little girls at very, very reasonable prices.

Reply:try dillards they have some beautiful dresses. I totally understand after all she is 2 more than likely the dress will not be sellable when done with it.. go cheaper.. try dillards they really have great options.
Reply:How about checking your local department stores and children's clothing stores. We're in the time of year for the frilly spring "Easter" type dresses to be on the racks.
Reply:LOVE your dress and can say first hand it's beautiful in person. One of my best friends wore it last summer in her wedding.

You don't need to shop for a 'flower girl dress' look for an easter dress that's on sale. And if you get a dress that's not designed for a wedding specifically she might beable to wear it again. Remember though that white on toddlers tends to stain quickly.
Reply:I got a dress for my Gdaughter on Saturday for $25.00 it included shipping... from ebay.





http://stores.ebay.com/LANAS-WEDDING-ACC...





They had several to choose from...
Reply:My flower girl ended up getting her dress at Ross. They just went with the colors of the bridesmaid dresses. I do know that sometimes the bridal shops put their flower girl dresses on sale. We almost got her one of those. It was still $50. And you take them as is. It all depends o what you want her in. I personally thought it was crazy to spend that much on a dress so I told them whatever they could afford in the color of my bridesmaids dresses. Good luck!
Reply:NOt trying to be mean or rude but you're spending 600 dollars on your dress and you're only going to wear it once! Besides, when you're done with both dresses you can sell them on ebay and get some of the money back.

Looking for images of dark wine/burgandy bouquets...?

I have a consultation with the florist tomorrow I was hoping to have found SOMETHING by now but nope =(





My dress -http://davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_det... in the wine color.





My bridesmaids dress http://davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_byco...





I was hoping to find images of bouquets that are hand tied/wrapped and for the bridal one I want it to be the dark hues to match the colors of the dresses.





However I was hoping to have continuity in the bridesmaids bouquets by using similiar flowers just having theirs be in softer hues (white/pale pink).





Most bouquets that are labeled "dark, dramatic or burgundy" usually have berries and use oversized and outrageous flowers. Anyone ever seen a bouquet like I've described while still being simple and berry free?





Thank you for any help, flower suggestions etc.


Right now the only flower I can come up with is roses...

Looking for images of dark wine/burgandy bouquets...?
roses are a safe bet because they come in all colors....i like this boquet





http://www.theflowerexpert.com/media/ima...





you can change up the color mixture of the roses, more dark for your dress, more light for thiers, or maybe add a color or a different flower in yours that's not in the BM boquets.
Reply:Calla Lily. Comes in some beautiful colours and the dark wine/burgundy ones are very striking against the white if your doing different for your bridesmaids. I had calla lilies and they were beautiful. Enjoy.

Reply:I think that you might be better to not try to match the dress. Im fairly certain, you wont be able to get right, even if it appears right today, in other light it won't. Even other roses of that variety will be slightly different the day of the wedding. Go for the lighter shades for your bouquet too,
Reply:here are some great flowers that come in white as well if you want the contrast against your bridesmaids dresses.

if you go with white orchids for the BMs they have a bit of the wine color in the middle naturally.

These ideas are a bit lame but maybe they will spark something.

Wedding Pages???

heres the thing...I am having an outdoor wedding and will be walking across a bridge and down the aisle at my wedding...my two younger cousins are carrying the train of my dress, however, they are both females...traditionally if they are males they are called pages...what is the proper name for them if they are females. Also, am i responsible for purchasing their dreses?? Our wedding is in June, do you think an appropriate easter dress for both the "pages" and the flowergirl, and suit for the ring bearer would be appropriate?? they are all growing like weeds and im afraid ordering a flower girl/page dress from my bridal boutique would be outgrown before our big day! Any suggestions would be great! Thank you!

Wedding Pages???
I would still call the girls "pages" and because you are having an outdoor wedding, easter dresses and suits would be a fantastic idea, because they will cost less and it wont be so bad if they get them dirty or grow out of them quickly.
Reply:While I can't tell you for sure if girls are also called pages (I think so, but probably someone else will have a better answer), your idea to buy the dresses/suit during the Easter season is excellent. Great way to save funds and make sure that the items fit.








Edit:


I just found the term "junior attendant" at this site:


http://www.foreverwed1.com/articles/chil...


That term may apply if you prefer not to use the term page.





Some more info on involving children:


http://www.foreverwed1.com/articles/chil...
Reply:Call them "paiges"... more feminine than "pages" also feel free to get them after Easter (clearance) dresses and the ring bearer an after Easter suit!





You only have to pay for their clothes if you want to. Their mom is responsible for the tab, just tell her what to buy!
Reply:Why on earth do they need "names". They are all attendants like the bridesmaids and, yes, it would be appropriate for you to at least offer to pay for their dresses. Bridal shops charge horribly high prices for small dresses. Go through yellow pages and find a kids shop that carries first communion dresses. They'll have lovely ones for $40. By next mont even SEARS will have gorgeous easter dresses or white communion dresses that will be cheap. Get the dreses a bit loose so if they grow in 4 monts, they can be altred a wee bit.
Reply:They're called pages or train bearers, and neither term is gender specific.

Help With Wedding Planning?

okay. i'm getting married in late spring. the reception is at a park with beautiful gardens. it looks like something out of a fairytale. anyways...that time of year, its normally in like the 70's...but since its near the ocean, it might be a little chilly. now to the actual questions:


1. what kinds of flowers should i have? i was thinking either lillies (http://antiqueangelchapel.com/bouquets/p... with some other white flowers mixed in...or roses (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...





2. can you help me find bridesmaids dresses and a flowergirl dress?


*they should be either spagetti strap or strapless


*the flowergirl dress should be white


*the bridesmaids dresses should go well with the flowers


*somewhat affordable, but definitely not cheap-looking


*about knee length...flowergirl dress can be floor length

Need a small daisy like flower...can you help me?!?

Im planning a bridal shower for my brothers fiance and found a bunch of really cute small flower pots for party favors and wasn't sure what kind of flower to put in them since I don't have much of a green thumb. I only have like 2 months and I wasn't sure if I had time to grow them myself or if I should buy some. Were kind of going with the daisy/gerber daisy theme or something that is somewhat similar and it a citrus party (lime, yellow and orange). So if you can think of anything at all that will help me that would be GREAT!!!! There's a picture on this website that I Really like. http://www.hostesswiththemostess.com/the... They're the mini vases with ribbons tied around them.

Need a small daisy like flower...can you help me?!?
There are tiny daisy like flowers that, I believe, are in the mum family. I've already seen them in a pot.
