Hello All! I’m the girlfriend behind all of Mike’s genius…ok, maybe not all of it but can I take credit for a little bit, right? Well too bad if you’ve said no, I’m going to anyway I recently have been planning a wedding of my own :-X shhhhh and I thought about this…my bouquets, I want them to be uniform so everyone looks the same standing next to the most beautiful bride in the world…ok, I might be biased but, anyway, uniformity is something I want…or might need due to some slight OCD hmmm. But I still want there to be a bit of a difference in each bridesmaids bouquet, to somehow represent each bridesmaid (including the maid of honor) in their own special way and what they mean to me. So here’s what I decided, what I’m going to do is have all of the bouquets made the same but then have a single different flower right in the center of each bouquet that represents each of my wonderful ladies…here are some ideas:

Determined: Amaryllis
Friendship: Freesia
Heartfelt: Hydrangea
Inspirational: Iris
Loyalty: Sunflower

Those are just some examples, there are so many different flowers and meanings behind them. This is just one simple way to show your bridesmaids that each one of them means something different to you and that each individual girlfriend has had a different impact on your life.

Let me know what you think and if you choose to do this, what flowers will you choose?

Now I’m off to enjoy the weekend in NC with Mike and his Dad and Step Mom (who are awesome!) so I hope everyone reading this enjoys their weekend as much as we are going to enjoy ours.
