Wedding Flowers
I usually hate Carnations BUT!

So ive been looking for a flower that makes a complete ball for bouquets and also makes a statement in centerpeices.

Carnations are sooo cheap and beautiful, if and only if they are bunched together!

I will be doing white bouquets for my bridesmaids. Mine will be a mix of other flowers as well. We are decorating the arch as well with carnation balls in white and purple.

The flower girl will be sprinkling purple stock... It smells soo good!

I love the arch with the balls.  So simple yet elegant.  Carnations are great!  They get a bad rap :)

I agree!! I was going to do peonies but when I saw the carnations it looked just as beautiful and more than HALF the cost!!

I agree that carnations can look cheap, but they look fantastic when the greenery is hidden. Those ceremony flower balls look amazing! Really modern and beautiful.

thanks for the website queensamsoon. I love the shapes. In regards to prices ... I am having a florist do my flowers. He is charging 800 for 13 centerpeices 6 bouquets 7 boutineers and 3 crosages. Its definitly ALOT cheaper than what other flowers would cost.

I'm really leaning towards carnations too! Who knew that they could be so pretty!
I'm so glad I'm finding other brides who are using them as well :)
