I've seen J do this before, Twila. I've thought about using that technique for this, but decided since it didn't need to be all around I would stick with what I kind of know. Thanks for the link--I haven't seen this in awhile!

Ok, I was going to use the humongous blocks of oasis, but I was planning to just fit them in the plastic urns in a traditional way. I'm thinking using a tray and just setting it on top of the urns might give me better use of the foam (more surface area to use). Is that why you use the trays rather than just putting it in the urns, even if the urns are fully able to hold water, etc. Sorry, again, I'm such a novice at such large designs like this.
I will also strongly consider some dedros. I just hate paying so much for a flower if it's not going to perform up to its price--y'know, bang for buck.

Yes, that is one of the reasons. The other main one being the ease of transport..flat bottom trays and empty urns travel in my van much easier, and weigh a lot less carrying them in the venue!
Beautifu arrangments......KUDOS to you.
Now that you have your first B-I-G arrangements over with.....the next time will be easier.

WOW! I love those two arrangements. I love how you presented those arrangements on skirted tables. Talk about a HUGE presentation. You are very talented, just love it, good job.
I told my husband when I got home from delivering that I would never take orders for large wedding arrangements ever again! That's started to wear off just a little today! Two more wedding consults this week--oh boy!

Very pretty, the dendrobs looked real nice, gave them some grace...beautiful job...midiocre my butt, they were stunning...
I'm the queen of self-doubt! Thanks for all your kind words! The dendros did come in looking fabulous. I just wished that they draped down even more. The original plan was to set the bouquets on top of black urns, but it would have just been too tall for the church. When I talked to the bride's father yesterday, he said they just left them at the Shriner's hall where the reception was--maybe they could enjoy them. Said they were too big to take home! I previously suggested they just pull the main stems out and take home to vase, but they didn't want to mess with that. I hope someone enjoyed them!
Sometimes we forget that the lowly flower arrangement is a combination of many many hands. From the moment it has been cut by a farmer, packaged by a processor, hauled by a truck driver, flown by an pilot, handled by a wholesaler, re delivered by a truck driver, processed by a florist, arranged by a florist, it's sits there, a beacon for all of us, and a performer of glory. At that point it does not belong to us anymore, it belongs to the one admiring it's splendor.
WOW that was deep!
