Friday flowers

The china mums from last week still look perfectly fresh - if anyone is looking for a long lasting flower, these appear to be a good bet. I put two of them in my bathroom and they definitely distract from my scattered makeup and the clumps of hair on the counter. Or so I tell myself.

At least one more venue visit this weekend and I'll probably report on progress next week. This part is tough, kids.

    i've heard that to test a wedding venue thoroughly, one must try some of all of that venue's appetizers, probably with a good beer. for science.

    Such cheery flowers! Must say that the venues you mentioned the other day are seriously lovely -- I imagine y'all will have a hard time with so much loveliness around you to choose from, good luck!

    This part is tough... I was most stressed about chosing our venue (and ended up with a space that we love -a converted distillery in the heart of Toronto).

    I'm sure that you will find something amazing!

    PS. Any mums (buttons, china, regular) last forever! Love that.

    Finding the right spot is always the trickiest part--I think--because it inevitably pushes the "feel" of the wedding one way or the other! Good luck! And have a great weekend!

    I agree, I felt MUCH better after we secured a venue!

    Good luck!

    We did pick a venue that served food, had rentals included, and had a ceremony spot too - it was really, really helpful for the rest of the planning process to have those already taken care of :)

    I love long-lasting flowers, especially when they're as cheery as your bright yellow mums.

    Hope the venue search goes well! I know it can be discouraging (and expensive...), but hang in there. xoxo

    Beautiful. I am loving the summer flowers in my area this year. They are just so beautiful. I am actually quite proud of my garden too!

    Oh yes,they're surprisingly long-lasting fresh! I use to buy some and put them all over the house! In the bathroom,too,of course!It's so romantic seeing them in the early morning,before having a shower and goin'out for work!
    Love from Italy.
