    $1,200 ... which consists of my bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, 8 corsages, wooden arbor with willow branches, plus loose flowers for 20 table centerpieces (flowers in vintage glass bottles) and two medium sized centerpieces.  The flowers I'm using:

    My bouquet:  garden roses, ranunculus, dahlias and eden spray roses

    BM bouquets:  dahlias, button poms, sweetheart/spray roses

    @milesbella:  Hey! Thanks for the info.  I want to do something with willow branches too! That is awesome the florist is decorating for you.. that is the thing I'm most stressing about.  Do you have a pic of what you are doing w/ the willow branches?

    @cherrycoke:  This is my inspiration.  I think there will be more willow branches on top and on the sides, and mine will be more of an arbor with a vintage/chipped finish.  I've made a bunch of pomanders to use on it as well.
