Bride Blogger Update: Flowers
The last time that we heard from Bride Blogger Marybeth , she was working on her wedding plans and was about to come back to D.C. to check off some of the big items. Today, she is back with an update on flowers!

Last week our wedding seemed far off and had yet to come together. Fast forward a few days and it is only 5 months until the big day. I am finally starting to picture what the day will look like, thanks in part to our flower and décor meeting with Da Vinci Florists over the holidays.
Early on James and I decided we wanted to keep the flowers simple and focus instead on showcasing the amazing view at 101 Constitution. We both agreed that candles, lighting and smaller centerpieces would create a romantic yet modern and elegant look.
While looking through photos of previous weddings, Jen suggested choosing a flower that was in-season during May, explaining that it would be less expensive to use an in-season flower. James and I both love tulips and are in luck, because they are in-season in May.
With the flower choice selected we started on the smaller floral arrangements – the bouquets. From then on we were on a roll. Since our colors are navy blue and pink, our tulips will be white, light pink and a deeper pink. Bridesmaids will have bouquets of light and deep pink, my bouquet will be white and light pink. Our centerpieces will feature all three colors. In this post are photo examples of different tulip bouquets and centerpieces that were our inspiration. In March I will get to see samples of the actual pieces and I will make sure to take photos to share with you.
