We just got our mason jars in the mail that I am going to paint aqua for vintage-inspired centerpieces... Three didn't make it, but I wrote the company...

Also, Costo has wedding flowers in bulk discount.

I was just looking at ACC's flower arranging classes. I've been thinking about it, ever since seeing a florist shop for sale for $34k on Craigslist recently. My best friend and I talked about being florists in high school! And the wedding industry's such a racket... I kind of want to be on the other side of it!

More handmade flower-y goodness! I’ve seen similar ones but I’m particularly taken with Zakka Life’s tiny delicate version (used for table centerpieces above). So cute! These would be great too for flower garlands, gift toppers, table settings and napkin ring accents. Hop on over for the DIY tutorial and craft away!
