my bride’s centerpieces

On today’s Fox 7 TV Segment with anchor person Sarah Brownlee we talked about my most recent brides. Well more specifically her fabulousicious centerpieces.

Now just for the record, I am not a fan of silk flowers. Sorry. I find that often, if not done by a professional or if really niiiice silk flowers are NOT used, they can end up looking cheap.

There. I said it. Martha Stewart can hate me (if she even knew who the heck I was).

WITH THAT SAID….I am here to sing the praises of my bride, Kristin Fielder Buehn (who married Andy by the way, that lucky devil).

First the background. During our planning process she calls me up.

Kristin: “Um, Saundra, yeeeah….I’m going to make my centerpieces and flowers. I’ve got this idea with candlesticks and make floral balls to go on top.”
Saundra: “What?”
Kristin: “I promise - they look great. I am channeling my inner Martha as we speak.”
Saundra: “Look Kristin, I’ve got a really great floral designer that owes me a few favors….can’t we go visit her shop?”
Kristin: “I really want to do this. I have an idea….you’ll love it. I hope.”
Saundra: <secretly rolling my eyes> “Okay, Kristin….it’s your day. We’ll do whatever you want.”

Well I was shocked. They were beautiful. She went shopping, looked for bargains and came up with a very clever idea. She made tight balls of cream roses with a little bling added into the bouquet. They sat on silver candlesticks which she got for a STEAL after Christmas at Kirklands.
