I'm hot underway in my pursuit of creating all of my wedding flowers for under $100!
Yesterday, Dustin and I stopped by Joann fabrics after church. My plan of attack before stepping foot into the store was that I wasn't buying anything unless it was on sale.

| Fortunately, the fabric behind that sign was nowhere near as expensive $20 a yard! |
I never knew how many different kinds of fabric there were that look like organza! Fortunately, I hit a sale on all of the "Casa Special Occasion" fabrics...hip hip hurrah for 50% off!
 |
| There was such a rainbow of fabrics. I definitely love the colors I selected! |
I purchased 2-1/2 yard lengths of light pink, lavender and sage green. Each length (except for sage green, they didn't have enough yardage left on the bolt) cost me $9.98 per length. I came out with a grand total at $36 and some odd cents. But wait! There is more! If you spent more than $35 dollars before tax, you got $5 off your purchase...so I saved myself $5 and ended up spending $31.92. The total savings of my trip (after getting 50% off on all of my fabric) added up to $43! I could definitely get a lot more specific and re-figure my cost per yard, but I'll spare you those little nitty gritty details ;)

| Dustin is a great "capture the right moment" kind of photographer :) He also insisted that I caption this picture and make sure everyone is aware that the ring currently on my finger is not my engagement ring...it comes back to my hand tomorrow! |
The only expenses left in my realm of flower making is the centers of my flowers. But, I have a lot of materials here in my home that I can use, and many family members who have offered up their stashes of un-wanted jewels. I do have a few bids on jewelry on ebay...but I'm planning on making the greatest accumulations at garage sales and flea markets this summer! But...with only $21 left in my flower budget, will I be able to do it? Stay tuned til next time...
I am sure you will make it within your budget. You are very determined!
