My family and I were driving down the highway last Tuesday and I began to notice that there were so many Gypsophila or Baby's Breath along the roadside for miles. Immediately I thought " free wedding flowers." When we got home I went online to see how others have used this flower at their wedding and I was excited to see it in Pew Decorations, Wedding Bouquets, in Centerpieces and even Corsages. Just keep an eye out for it as you drive about town on errands. When you do find them, you start to realize that they grow wild almost everywhere.
Bridal Bouquet
Total Price: $3.00
Ribbon you can buy at Walmart for $0.33 per yard in the color of your choice to match your wedding theme, but I would suggest white or Ivory to match your wedding dress.
For the pin you can buy them online here for $0.69 or find them at Walmart or any floral or fabric store. I love the ones below because they give us that platinum bling factor that will make the bouquet looks like you spent way more than you did making it.
100 Pack 2" Clear Diamonate Pins - $3.49
Corsages
Total Price: $1.00
The pins and the stem tape you will need to attach the corsages and for the bridesmaids bouquets as well.

Pew Decor

Silver Mint Julep Pew Cup with Clip: $2.99
Attach to pew and add a very small bouquet of Baby's Breath to each one for an elegant look. Below the Baby's Breath was attached using ribbons for the outdoor ceremony.

Jardin Glass Vase, 7½" $1.00 each

To add some color you can add a ribbon around the neck of the vase. At Walmart you can get 1 inch satin ribbons at .$o.33 cents per yard.
