Sorry, didn't want to use our pictures with people's faces in it, so we asked Cereal & Paper for the pictures. But honestly I think the flowers looked much better on that day. We were pretty torn between what we want and our parents. They wanted something big, and we want things to be a bit more fun, not overly "expensive" looking So she definitely made us a huge piece for the sweetheart table, about 3 ft in diameter! (and we recycled it from the ceremony). Luckily she put in a lot of fun colors, else I think my wedding pictures would look so old Loved what she did for the cake and cake table, which was pretty much free, she's a lovely lady. Plus she did the flowers for the stairs and backdrops along the same theme, and recommended us a pretty good option for the linens

We only knew we wanted something different for us (the couple) and the two sides of the families. I told them I didn't want anything too overly festive, but we are pretty outgoing as a couple. So they designed us an adorable red-and-white, it wasn't the dark kind of red so it was just right, and the white made it really cute. For the older family members, they came up with simple and festive orchids with different colors for their boutonieres. There was a lot of the small boutonieres to make, but still each of them looked really delicate.
