Ceremony and Reception Decor

Being that our wedding is very casual and small, we decided that we are going the DIY route for our flower decor. Well, I decided to go DIY. J doesn't really have an opinion of who gets to do what or what we should and shouldn't pay for. I don't think I'm capable of doing my own bouquet, corsages for our moms, and boutonnieres for J's dad and grandpa so I have to get these professionally done. It doesn't look that difficult to cut some flowers and put them in a container to hang. I am definitely doing a test run as soon as the planters come in though.

White and green hydrangeas will be used for our ceremony and reception. I've ordered 10 square planters from Crate&Barrel, 8 small ones and 2 big ones. The small ones will line the aisle and the big ones will be upfront. I'm going to use fishing wires to hang the planters on shepherd's hooks (that I have yet to purchase!). The same arrangements will be transported to our reception only this time they won't be hanging.

I've already done my research on the flowers. They will be purchased online from two different places (unfortunately!). White hydrangeas will be coming from farmstogo at only $2.82 per stem. You can only buy them in quantities of 20 or 40 so I'm getting 40. The price also includes overnight shipping straight from Colombia. Mini green hydrangeas will be purchased from theflowerexchange. They're $2.85 per stem with a minimum purchase of 15 stems and the price also includes overnight shipping.
