ceremony aisle

We found these silver pails from target in their dollar section...

We're going to use them up the aisle during the ceremony.  We'll put one hydrangea in each one.  We practiced by cutting a hydrangea from my parents garden.

First we put a plastic bag in the pail (so water doesn't leak out) then we placed the hydrangea stem in the oasis flower foam and placed it in the bag with water.

We did this practice one (below) on Saturday and here it is Monday and the flower is still going strong.  Another project that can be done a couple days before that's simple.  The hydrangea that we will use for the wedding would be white/green though:
