Flowers everywhere

We have flowers all over the house due to the wedding festivities this past weekend. I am including shots of the bouquets below. (No wedding day shots yet- I'll post some when I get them, and I'll include details then).

My wedding bouquet. It had green hydrangea, cymbidium orchids, sweet peas, black calla lilies, and the spiky ones are thistles.

This bouquet we actually have two of: they decorated the posts of the stairs I walked down from the porch to the isle. (The ceremony was outside)


This gorgeous bouquet is from Juan's parents. They sent it to us the day before the wedding, since they could not make it to the Maine ceremony.

These have been decorating the house for a week- I love lilies.

I also found a fabulous cookbook at the Christmas Tree Shop the other day- I was supposed to be looking for wrapping paper, but I came away with other great finds, too. I've already started reading the cookbook- I love learning about culture through food. I'm anxious to try some of the recipes, especially now that I have some great new cooking tools. Too bad I can't use any until almost September!
