I was watching "My Fair Wedding" the other day, and man, if David Tutera ever needs a kidney in exchange for him planning a wedding I'm going to be first to the doctor's, scalpel in hand. For those of you who've never seen it, it's a show about these women who want to do things like have a clown themed wedding, or something outrageous, and David Tutera comes in and fabulizes their crazy plans. He's like Super Man if Super Man wore Dolce and Gabanna and could throw together the worlds best wedding in like 3 minutes. There was this bride who (I think) wanted lilly pads and frogs for centerpeices instead of flowers. After I could pick my jaw up from the floor, I started thinking "maybe flowers are kind of overrated. I mean think about it, they're everywhere, just waiting to explode your sinuses and give you itchy eyes!
Flower in the bouquets, boutonnieres, all over the wedding site, as centerpieces at your reception, on your cake! Next thing you know these flowers are going to go "Little Shop of Horrors'" on you! Now, I love flowers, don't get me wrong, but what if you don't, or you're deathly allergic to Lilly's? Not to mention flower's can cost a butt load! I went on to what I like to call the "Wedding Yoda" aka Martha Stewart, and found some awesome ideas for non-floral center pieces. Some, like the animals in a big glass jar, I thought might get you in trouble with a Peta lover, but others, like the Harvest center piece or the Branch and Leaf center pieces, were both beautiful and didn't involve a trip to the Pharmacy for some sinus meds!
