August skies, on July 11, 2016 at 11:10 AM

So I've never done DIY flowers, but the florists around here are crazy expensive so I thought I'd give it a try. How do these look? These are 'rough drafts' if you will. Also, should the groom/GM...

Long Tables, Do I still assign them??
SarahAnn1015, on July 6, 2016 at 10:54 AM
