I’m curious if anyone here has actually used sunflowers as the main centerpiece for their wedding...
My bridal party is obsessed with this gold-yellow vibe that reminds me of the Midwest... Since we’re planning an autumn wedding—probably sometime in September or October—I’m wondering is it even possible to get my hands on enough sunflowers then? I’m going to need them in massive quantities, so if anyone has any tips, hacks, or solid ideas regarding this, please hit me up!
On top of that, I want to lean hard into those rustic, autumnal vibes with things like zucchini, pomegranates, corn, wheat stalks, quince, pumpkins, apples, dried leaves, wildflowers... but the sunflower would be the star of the show...
The bouquet would be all sunflowers too... plus the invites, thank-you notes, confetti, and boutonnieres will all follow that gold-yellow theme using tiny artificial sunflowers and sprigs of wheat...
What do you guys think? Thoughts?

And honestly, even when I stepped out in that first wedding dress I tried on at the boutique in Springfield (I'll write about that later), it was like he swallowed a lump in his throat and almost tripped over his own feet. In a good way, obviously. I wouldn't trade that feeling for anything. And let's be real, probably none of my friends are gonna react quite like that.

Even my guy once saw me in a dress at a shop—not one I'm actually wearing, but I went out in it specifically just to test his reaction. 😁
He was being too sweet. First, he just stared at me, then he looked away and kept staring at the floor because he got all shy and awkward. 😁
Then he finally said, "You looked so beautiful..." 😍
And this was while my hair was a greasy mess, I was stuck in traffic, and I looked like total trash. It was at a salon in Bratislava. 🙂
I mean, he can't possibly picture what it'll look like once everything is perfect and polished.
That's when he's really gonna lose it. 😍

And that thing about not trying on wedding dresses if you don't have a date set?
There are plenty of people doing exactly that in the city.

The infection just won't quit. It's totally flared up. I ended up grabbing some Vagisil and went ahead with a lab test to see what kind of bacteria we're actually dealing with here. For now, though? Yeah, I’m passing on any heavy treatment.
Switching to the Dove cream because the other stuff is just way too harsh. Also, yeah... I am officially firing my OBGYN. Period.
