I made these kissing balls for my flower girls. My colors are light/dusty blue and burgundy. They seem like they're missing something! What should I change?

When to buy flowers?
Shannon, on January 18, 2017 at 4:37 PM

I am planning on buying flowers from a store. How many days before the wedding is it okay to buy? And how should I help to keep the flowers looking healthy up until the date?

For those that printed addresses directly onto the envelopes...
Bee, on January 8, 2017 at 8:08 PM
