flora

I am loving these bouquets... I think peonies look so fluffy and perfect and romantic. I just can't get enough of them. It's funny, too, because at the start of all of this wedding planning, I didn't really care about the flowers (or so I thought) until I started doing a little research and realized that I am really drawn to peonies, as well as dahlias. Here are a few bouquets or flowers that I love:

I'm also loving this do it yourself (DIY) cake stand. It's so cool looking and generally easy to make. I love this picture, where there are two identical cakes in a small size and larger size. Maybe Derek could work on this little project. He loves wood-working. :)
