Roses

I actually really like roses. Yeah, sort of stereotypical girl, but whatever. They're just so classic. I think I used to take them for granted, since they always used to be around the house (my sister had lots of admirers =P), but I rarely ever see roses nowadays. Not in bouquets at least; there are always a few single stem roses being sent out on Valentine's. Not sure why, but I sort of miss seeing them...

We went to Costco for food and thank you presents, and we found dress shoes. So while my mom and sister were looking at those, I wandered around and ended up by the flower display. Bright happy daisies, orchids, baby's breath, and deep red roses. It was just sort of nice looking at them - I'd forgotten how pretty they were. They had the pretty peach and pink-tipped roses too, which I had always liked too. But there's something so elegant about red roses. Other colors almost seem unnatural in a sense. Mixed bouquets are pretty nevertheless, but in a different way.

In any case, I need to get a boutonniere. Not sure what color it's going to be - depends on my dress I suppose. Red if my dress is, probably white with a ribbon in a matching color if I end up picking the gold/purple/teal dress. Yeah, I really have no idea which I'm wearing right now. xD Clarie's coming over tomorrow to help me decide! =]
