Yes the wedding was nice. Given my serious personality quirk, I am always most interested in the flowers. Somebody else can focus on the dresses and the food. For me it’s the flowers.

The pew bows had real flowers on them(which I actually thought was unnecessary, but that’s just me).

The flowers used were Belles of Ireland, Oriental Lilies and pink Daisy. The table arrangements were the most interesting. The vases were nearly 3 ft tall, wide at the base for stability, narrowing quickly and then more than 2 ft of skinny to form the neck of the vase. The same Belles of Ireland, Oriental Lily and Pink Daisy were used in the table arrangements.

Most interesting was that apparently the flowers were taking up so much water that the Belles of Ireland ran out of water in some of the vases and so they drooped in sort of an arching manor. I thought it was quite unique and interesting, until I saw other arrangements with enough water in the vases and then realized the Belles of Ireland were not intended to droop. LOL Either way they looked really good. Quite different, and worthy of at least of at least a half hour of conversation with table partners we didn’t know previously.

(I’d have to say, the men’s eyes were glazing over before we completed the conversation)
