I'll take the purple orchid for $2000, Alex

After ignoring the details of bridal/bridesmaid hair, makeup, and other details for awhile, it came time to make decisions. So I did. The good news is, everyone at our wedding will be clothed and have shoes to wear. (There isn't any bad news here folks.)

The new news is that the bridesmaids will be wearing a purple orchid in their hair (which we'll do our best to keep off their necks in the August heat) and the bride will wear the same orchid in white. This was a quickie DIY project that emerged out of an email and was completed in little more than an hour - I love those types of projects! Plus, Hobby Lobby had the orchid stems for 1/2 off, the barrettes for $1.99 (for 18), and I already owned the glue gun (watch out). A little hot glue and patience, and voila -- hair-ready orchids that look pretty darn real. If we can nab real ones in Mexico we'll try to use those instead, but these are a nice stress-reliever that we'll definitely have some tropical look to our hair. Plus, it's just plain fun - how often do you have an excuse to wear a flower in your hair?
