Carnation infatuation

OK, so plenty of people out there (read: flower snobs) think carnations are a lame filler flower. Perhaps you've seen the episode of Sex and the City that references such a debate? Well, I'm here to say carnations are freakin' awesome. They are cheap, they are full and lush, and all gathered together sans baby's breath are so so so pretty. I plan on having carnation centerpieces at THE wedding (almost less than 100 days away FYI) and carnation bouquets.

I fashioned an awesome wedding-esque carnation centerpiece just in time for a visit from the almost in-laws (read more about their visit and the goodies we noshed on in a future post). Fresh flowers are nice when there are guest, otherwise we usually don't have them. (HINT, HINT, Andy). Anyway, here's picture (or two) of my fresh carnies! I bought three bouquets of carnations at Kroger (three for $12, what, what!) and put them in pilsner glass. Taaa daa!
