Ann, I loved those ideas. I am looking into using the daisy Bouquet for my center piece
http://www.michaels.com/art/online/P...=80&pid=f00169 and the Bridesmaid bouquet but with purple and pinks as well as whites

I also thought I would use one of the ideas with the daisies in a vase for the reception except we already talked about using Mason jars with candles for centerpieces but I believe I'll just use daisies instead...
we are going to use artificial flowers for budget reasons and we also decided to use flowers left over to make floral arrangements for the two men he calls Dad (his real father and stepfather who raised him have both passed)
But thank you so much for the help. I'll keep you updated.
what would you do to add smalll amounts of color to the bridal bouquet? I thought about twisty sprigs (technical term

)of purple through out my white daisies with purple ribbon binding the stims together.
oh yeah, thanks for the michael's link! I love the site. We don't have a Michael's anywhere near here. It's great!
