    They look great!! Some of these comments are ridiculous. They are just flowers! Jeez. In the grand scheme of things, flowers are not that important. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

    Update: here is the final product of everything set up at the venue, just some pics I snapped when I got done. I did all of this draping myself and every flower arrangement myself, -: well as the small bunches of roses inserted into the draping. I can't wait to get the pro photos back because these pics aren't the greatest quality. For everyone that said it couldn't be done...that it would look like just a bunch of DIY's...that I would be way too stressed...I LOVED. EVERY. MINUTE. And the icing on the cake? Because of how well I pulled this all off, the owner of the venue offered me a job as a coordinator and florist on the spot. I accepted and will be starting in a month.
