tulips!

day 1- tulips arrive!
We put a ton of work into my shower, reception and planning our wedding. We wanted to stay within a budget and a lot of things became DIY. Now that I (Christie) am working within the wedding industry I poured hours and hours into researching, reading blogs, and designing the overall theme of our events.

White tulips are my all time favorite flowers. Many people don't know but I actually have 2 tulip tattoos. My great grandpa came over from the Netherlands and began a nursery with trees, plants and most of all tulips. Ever since I was a little girl I was drawn to them. I think out of all the flowers they speak to mine and Ian's personalities. They are beautiful, have clean lines, and no frill. Ian likes functionality and I love simple elegance. I found an amazingggg deal on 100 tulips so naturally I ordered them ($80 for 100 including delivery)! They arrived in bunches and the picture to the left is from that day.

We let them sit until the morning of the wedding when we arrange the centerpieces, bridesmaid's bouquets, and last but not least my beautiful bouquet. It was a great bonding experience with my girls.
