Mondays with Madi : “Romantic meets Rustic” Reception Inspiration

Happy Monday y’all!

Recently my mom and I had a consultation with a florist in Kansas City and it was so fun to put together our ideas for arrangements, my bouquet, boutonnieres, etc! I am anxious to receive our estimate so that we can move forward!

We are opting for arrangements full of soft romantic whites, raw cotton, succulents, magnolias and garden roses. I really hope to create some Southern warmth in our mid-winter celebration with details such as the cotton bolls, mason jars and candlelight!

Today I wanted to share with y’all some of my inspiration images for our reception. Enjoy! :

I am so excited to see how all of these elements will come together! As you may have noticed, we aren’t using too many bold colors in our arrangements. I’m thinking the pureness of whites and the natural/rustic feel is much more fitting for dear BRS and myself!

Leave some love below and let me know what you think! Add some color? Keep the neutral tones? We’ve got plenty of time to switch things up!

Stand Out & Cut Costs With These Bouquet Alternatives

As we all know, the cost of flowers at a wedding can prove outrageous. From the ceremony flowers to the reception flowers to the bouquets… it can easily get way out of hand! I have to admit; I am a huge flower gal and love nothing more than whimsical floral arrangements full of peonies, hydrangeas, and roses! But recently, I was a guest at a wedding that had NO flowers at all! Let me tell you…. It was GORGEOUS! And that got me thinking…. What are some flower bouquet alternatives? With the DIY wedding style in full swing, I want to give y’all a few ideas on how to cut the costs of flowers at your wedding. It doesn’t matter if you are planning a winter, spring, summer, or fall wedding…these ideas work for all season weddings! Just look how fab!
