You Can Find Baby's Breath Free and Save Hundreds on Wedding Flowers!
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
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.
Ceremony Decor
I added this before so go here to learn how to put it together!
Pew Decor
Total: $2.99
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.
Table Centerpieces
Total Price: $1.33 each
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.

Elegant, Plum Wedding in Sanfrancisco!!
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
Right now I am stuck on finding plum wedding photos since as you know that is my new wedding color. This set comes from the wedding of Ansley and Andrew who got married in San Francisco, California. I choose the ones that I found most inspiring but you can see them all here on projewedding.com. I just love how they incorporated the features into their theme.
For the ceremony I like the decor because it's simple and easy for most brides to replicate. The crystal trees you can find instruction here for under $30.
You can find Orchids for your DIY centerpieces here on fiftyflowers.com!
These Calla Lilies are beautiful and 50 stems can be purchased here for $139.99!
Want to do this yourself? You can buy feathers here like the one above and much more to replicate this look.
A Plum Purple Wedding Theme
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
Even since seeing the plum and robin egg blue together in the Eco-Beautiful Weddings magazine, I've been searching for more images with that color combo but have found very few. The one above came from the Wedding Chicks and I love it! I've put together a few ideas using the plum as the main color and aqua (blue) as the accent color. These are colors I would love to use in my wedding so this post is mainly about what's in my head right now.
For the cake, DIY cupcakes seems perfect, decorated with blue frosting and a purple butterflies that sell at Crafta.com for $2.79 and that price is for a set of 25.
Flowers for this theme can be a bouquet with different shades of purple that are found all year long at fiftyflowers.com! If you try this don't be afraid of adding some green to bulk up your centerpieces since as you can see in the photos below, it won't over-power the purple that easily.
I choose an aqua vase for the centerpiece because with the purple it's so visually stunning! The vase you can find here at giantfood.com for $8.99!! Just look at it altogether! The blue vase really makes a statement and if you want to use plum tablecloths to create an even more enchanting look go here to linentablecloth.com to find them starting at $8.95!
The wedding party would most likely be in plum but I see the guys wearing plum ties with a black vest and jacket suit.
I'll update it as I go along but there is no denying that plum and blue make awesome wedding, color theme!!

Simple but Beautiful Purple Theme
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
What makes this room shine, literally, is the purple lighting against the walls. The table decor is simple, the table cloth is probably a bit more costly. However, it is obvious the couple opted to pay for lighting the room in the purple hue and the result is simple, yet elegant and quite beautiful!
