WOW-EE!

Today I was messing around on the internet when I found photographer Jessica Claire, from LA. MAN is she good! As I was searching through her blog, I ran across this photo of an orchid centerpiece:

I have been talking to florists recently about doing centerpieces, and although they are reasonably priced for flowers, they’re still about $55 per table for the low ones. These orchids look very classy, I think. Maybe it’s the wooden wispy stick things in there? I’m not sure.

Originally we were planning to do orchid centerpieces; we found a place in Half Moon Bay that sells gorgeous orchids for $12-19. Perhaps we can do the tall centerpieces with the florist, and these can be for the other tables? They’re still tall and significantly less expensive. Actually, now that I think about it, those wispy stick things are a lot like the branches we intend to use in our tall centerpieces, which would really tie the centerpieces together well.

I really like the idea of using something ALIVE for a centerpiece. I get to feeling really guilty when I think about all the flowers that sacrifice their lives for weddings!

PS, if you’re into calla lilies and looking for a somewhat less expensive centerpieces, check this one out. It’s similar to the orchids, with the curly willow (that’s curly willow, right?):
