Hi everyone! Thanks for loving my purple, black & bling/butterfly theme wedding!! ^___^v I purchased the centerpiece from Michaels during Halloween season back in 2010. The flowers were all fresh purple lisianthus. My invitation photo is not here, but it matched my wedding theme perfectly. Please comment if you have more questions!
I absolutely love the centerpiece!! Where did you find that?
Hi Misty, the pictures were from the photographer who shot the wedding so I don’t have the details on where the bride got the items she used. I agree that it is fabulous! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Love it! These are my exact colors for my wedding! Are those fresh flowers or silk? What types of flowers are those?
Hi Pam, I got the pictures from the photographer who shot the wedding so I don’t have the exact information on the items that were used.
