LOTS OF POTS
Submitted by:
Lori Ann DeBokx
For our wedding my husband, my maid of honor, my
bridesmaid and I hand painted 102 4" clay flower pots. On these flower
pots I painted different pictures of flowers, I even traced the flower
off of our wedding invitation & stenciled it on some of the flower
pots. On the bottom of the pot I wrote our names and our wedding date .
On the bottom of the saucer I wrote "Thank you for sharing our special
day".
Then I had a greenhouse near my own home grow 150 flowers for me. My
bonus mother-in-law (some people call them step mother-in-laws - mines a
bonus!), my maid of honor and I went to the greenhouse and we got to
chose the flowers we
wanted and we planted 3 different flowers into a 4" container that would
fit inside the flower pots.
I thought I was going to burst with excitement of our
upcoming wedding to share my love for my husband through these flowers
with our guests.
At the wedding they were used as center pieces during the
reception and dance, but afterwards it was a take home gift from my
husband and me for every couple!
I had quite a few flowers left after the wedding and have since planted
them around our acreage. Every day I walk around and admire my
flowers and I get this swelling in my heart remembering the love that my
husband and I shared that day and every day.
So many people said what a wonderful idea the flowers were and I've had
many phone calls and emails of people expressing how beautiful their
flowers have turned out in their flower beds.
To me, flowers are a reminder of the love I share with my husband and
how every year our love blossoms even more, just like flowers do.
