Escaping Ordinary

I'm so excited! I just found out my brother finally asked his girlfriend to marry him! and since we all totally love her, we're all super excited!

She's an art teacher and likes really unique things, so this post of some of my favorite out-of-the-ordinary bouquets, is dedicated to her! Have fun browsing Ericka!

This is super cool! If you're going for unconventional, this would fit the bill! LOVE IT!
