I made 2 trial flowers from each and am actually quite happy with the way they turned out. There was quite a learning curve. My first yellow flower I broke the thread trying to gather it, stupid fabric was so stiff, so it's smaller. I think the second yellow one turned out pretty sweet. I also made the first yellow inside-out so it wasn't as shiny. I think I like the matte look better.

I don't know... What do you guys think? My mom says she could buy me a silk flower bouquet for pretty cheap in the USA. But I'm sort of excited about trying out this method. If I can ever decide on some damn shoes then I could pick my colors appropriately!
So yes, I think I won't get those shoes that you guys told me to get

Anyways.. now looking at these:
One (One B.. a lower, more expensive style that's similar)
Two
Three(in blue)
Four(in purple or "champagne")
My sister says if I buy a pair on Zappo's she'll spot me $80 since she has an $80 credit with them. The Steve Madden ones I love a whole lot, and I think I could wear them again. But, they're a little high (4in, I wanted to stay around 3in or 4in with 1in platform). And $80 is a lot to gamble that they'll fit! (no returning)
So can I get some of you LOVELY LADIES opinions again? On the flowers and the shoes? Pretty pretty please?

Oh and my dad is paying for our train caboose! It's where we'll be staying the night before and the night of the wedding. Here's a link. I'm really psyched about it! It has a fireplace! And it's secluded so we can bang each other all night and not disturb anyone. TMI?
