Here's a few pics. I'll post as they upload(which takes forever). This is my bouquet, what a time I had stringing pearls onto the ribbon. These are the bouttennieres(ivory) and the corsages(pink). ~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.

I find that our dollar stores have better quality things and for cheaper than wal mart, i'm not a big fan of wal mart, but that's my thing. I though you would have had tulips and daffs blooming...i just figured now your wedding's just a few weeks away all along I though it was in June...boy was I zoned out lol Helping the world one seed at a time When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
