wedding flowers

We have been having lots of trouble getting actual ideas for our wedding. We know the outline of what we want but when it comes to actual colors or decor or flowers, etc., we don't have anything nailed down yet and we are only 3 months away!

The only thing we have really wanted from the beginning are orchids. We got engaged in Maui and they use SO many orchids there, and we both love them, so we thought it would be a good flower idea. I have been at a loss as to any ideas for my bouquet using orchids because I really haven't seen anything I liked. I think I found something! I really like the idea of using succulents in our table centerpieces and my bouquet, etc. It might sound a bit odd, but check out these pictures... I love this look! Especially since we are getting married in the desert at a botanical garden/nature preserve.
