My Wedding Flowers

For my wedding, I had made some really beautiful wristlet corsages. 
This was a very difficult task. The reason being is because here in Turkey, we don't have all the things that are needed. First of all here in Turkey there are not flowers in Weddings. That was a huge shock for me and really difficult to imagine. No flowers. 

The Long Rock and I discussed this in great length and we agreed that it was more prudent and cheaper and in the end just all round better if we just had flowers for my bouquets, for wristlet corsages, and boutonnieres. We agreed that this was the best. It ended up being a lot better that way. And really quite lovely. 
I gave Long rocks Female and Male Close Family members, Long Rocks mom got two corsages, I got three bouquets, the Long Rock got two boutonnieres the Wedding Helper got a wristlet and then my witness for our wedding got a wristlet.
The reason for this is because We had a Wedding Ceremony. The Ceremony was on July 4th and the Wedding Reception was on July 7th. So, The Wedding Ceremony I made flower for me, the Groom and The Groom's mother to keep things simple. On the wedding reception I made flowers for everyone. I made for his cousins, and one cousin has a wife so I made her one also. 
So all in all I made 12 wrist corsages, 15 boutonnieres, and three bouquets. 

The supplies were not in Turkey because no one wears them. They are just unheard. The floral wire, floral tape, everything was imported from USA because I had no way of getting something like them from Turkey. They just are not here. There is a part on the wrist corsages that has a plate. The plate is for hot gluing the flowers on the wristlet. Well, on the wristlets that are not just the plain smaller elastic, but for the beaded bracelets, when they come they are supposed to have a platform that is tied on to the bracelet.
Another thing that I discovered it wire ribbon is also not here in Turkey, so I had to just go with the regular satin ribbon. But, no matter! I made them and they looked so pretty.

On my wedding day, I wore a white lace blouse, and pinl shoes with an aqua marine colored dress. I tied a really long pınk ribbon around the waist to add some color, and it just looked really pretty. My colors on the bouquet just tied everything together. I had Gerbera daisies, pink small roses, and hygreanga, which was all greens, blues, and pinks. Oh! I loved the bouquet and how it turned out. 

Everything just turned out really lovely. I love my flowers and I worked really hard on them, but they were worth it and everyone was really great about wearing them.
I am so grateful to Long Rock for highly encouraging me to make the flowers. My hair? Long crazy funny story I will have to save for another time. 

I will have to add pictures to this post in a few days when I find the pictures. They appear to not have made  it onto my new laptop
