Flower Girl Ideas: Bloom-Covered Pails

I was horrified when my florist wanted to charge me $50 for a tiny basket for my flower girl to carry down the aisle. I wish I had seen this DIY idea: Decorate a simple watering can with an oversized, bold bloom and some dangling ribbon. The streamers capture the carefree quality of the little ladies holding the pails much better than a refined, satin basket could, and the big, 'ole gerbera daisy in the center of each is just so eye-catching. Kudos to Ashley and Chris in Boylston, MA, for thinking outside of the basket.
