I'm just curious as to what flowers should be done for the wedding?
My girls [and I] are having simple flowers. They'll either carry a single rose or three and I'll either carry three or six - all with the babies breath %26amp; tied with a ribbon.
Other than that, what flowers are supposed to be at a wedding? Please don't say, "Whatever you want!" because that doesn't help. Are there supposed to be other flowers at the ceremony? What about the reception? It's going to be at my Dad's house, outside.
Flower Arrangements?
Is the wedding outside, or just the reception?
For a church wedding, usually there are pew bows/flower arrangements and a large arrangement at the altar.
For the reception - centerpieces on the tables, maybe an arrangement at the food table.
If you want, flowers on your cake.
Don't forget bouts and corsages.
Reply:Some people decorate the church with flowers, a couple large arrangements at the alter and sometimes a small arrangement (or bow) on each pew. At the reception there is usually some sort of centerpiece of the tables, most commonly flowers. You of course don't have to use flowers at the centerpiece but its a lovely option. Flowers are also sometimes included on the cake.
Reply:honstly there is no where that says you have to have flowers. i carried roses and i had one hydranga on each corner of the cake table and on the head table that was it, i didnt have any at the ceremony and didnt make it a big deal at the reception. i liked candles on the tables. but if you do deside to do flowers do the ones that comes in a pot and do summer flowers, lilacs, roses, orchids, daisies, and do the same colour as the rest of your flowers. if you are not a flower person then dont have them, there is no rule, people just use them to add prettieness and colour to their room
Reply:Usually, you would have some floral arrangements which you could use at the church, then have them transported to the reception site for use at the head table.
Corsages for the parents and grandparents, and boutonnieres for the groomsmen and groom.
Reply:Since you are doing roses, how about single rose bouts for the men (maybe white for the groom and a colored one for the groomsmen). Then you may or may not get the mothers corsages. We are also giving corsages to our grandmothers and to our hostesses (my nieces).
They there can be alter flowers and pew decorations (only really needed to 'hold' pews for close family members).
For the reception an arrangement on the head table and centerpieces (if you choose to use flowers).
Of course if you want more, you can always add more, but to me that is all that is really needed.
Reply:It would be nice if there were flowers set up at the ceremony. At my wedding, there was a table behind us, so we put a centerpiece on that. My friend recently got married and had two large baskets flower arrangements placed on either side of where the bridesmaids %26amp; groomsmen stand. Also, a single flower and ribbon tied to the backs of the chairs on the ends of the rows would look nice for when you are coming down the aisle. For the reception, if it is a buffet, then an arrangement on the table might look nice, depending on the table set-up. Finally, centerpieces on each of the guests dining tables. I always prefer shorter centerpieces so that the guests can see eachother. I know that sounds like a lot, but do what is in your price range. For my wedding, we took the arrangement from the ceremony and set it on the buffet table at the reception. We also used my bouquet and the bridesmaid bouquets for the centerpieces on the head table - which not only saved money because all we had to buy were the vases, but also gave them somewhere to put their flowers during the reception.
Reply:Flowers are lovely for an outdoor wedding...you could have wildflower centerpieces, and the men would have boutenniers, some people put flowers on the alter at the church...
Reply:Honestly, it's totally up to you! But you might want to consider if the guys will wear boutinnieres. You can decorate the reception without flowers. No one expects the reception to have flowers.
At my ceremony, we had flowers on the alter, then after the ceremony, we took a picture of our hands crossed over an open bible with the flowers all around. :) That showed off our rings. :)
Congratulations and good luck! :)
Reply:Well, it does kinda boil down to whatever you want, but most importantly to whatever you can afford. All the males in the wedding party should have a boutonniere. The mother of the bride and the mother of the groom should have a corsage. Many people put flower arrangements at the end of each row of seats. And there could be other coordinating arrangements around where the bride and groom will be standing. Then there can be many other small arrangements throughout the reception area.
I had all my wedding flower arrangements made out of silk so that I could keep most of them.
Reply:Tradionally people sue flowers to decorate the altar at the church. also theyc an be used for centerpiece at the reception. The groomsmen usually have a single flower pinned to thier tux too. The mothers and fathers usually receive them too
Wether you choose to use all of them or not is up to you
Reply:My only suggestion is to use potted flowers or plants as much as you can for decorations. They last longer so guests can even take them home and they are far less expensive then cut flowers. I used potted yellow roses for my wedding.
Reply:There are normally two arrangements, one on each side of the alter, gazebo etc. Flowers are also place on the first six rows each side of the pews. At the reception, a flower arrangement is placed on each guest table.
Bouquets - Bride, MOH, bridesmaids %26amp; flowergirl.
Boutoneer - Groom, Best Man, Groomsmen %26amp; Ring Bearer.
Wristlets- Mother of Bride, Mother of Groom, Grandmothers of Bride %26amp; Groom.
Boutoneer-Father of the Bride, Father of the Groom, Grandfathers of Bride %26amp; Groom.
Reply:Usually there is an arrangement on a few pews/chairs (small teardrop... can be flowers or greenery. Can also be a bow.). Also can have an arrangement on each candleabra if wanted. That's all that's needed for the ceremony.
For the reception, you can choose to have flowers on each table as a centerpiece. And for the head table (if everyone is lined up facing the crowd), have the bridesmaids place their flowers on the head table with the bulb facing the crowd. And maybe a few flowers if you want them on the cake. Other than that, you really don't need flowers. Bows and greenery can go everywhere else.

Have any ideas for beautiful, simple bridal shower flower arrangements?
I'm hosting my sister's bridal shower in March. I have a cute idea of using tall thin glass vases, lining them with wide green leaves and placing one or two simple green and pink roses or daisies in each one. Have you seen a really cute, simple flower decoration that you liked? I would really appreciate some other ideas. Pictures and/or links would be greatly appreciated.
Have any ideas for beautiful, simple bridal shower flower arrangements?
I love your idea. Check out www.theknot.com. They have TONS of pictures of flower arrangements, from simple to extravagant. They also have a section for bridesmaids/maids of honor that is really helpful for planning a shower.
Another arrangement I saw that was beautiful and simple was a tall, thin glass vase with a single stem of flowers in it, filled to the top with water (with the flower submerged in the water), and a floating candle on top. It was very simple yet beautiful and elegant.
Reply:Your idea is nice. My only suggestion would be to not make the arrangements too tall. It's quite annoying when you're talking to the person sitting across from you yet you can't see them because of the center piece.
Reply:I have always liked the idea of using crystal as vases. You can group several of varying sizes or styles together on a table with a single blossom or just a few. Martha Stewart magazine has always given me such good ideas. You could check her website. Champagne flutes, apertif and wine goblets, old glass bottles were often tall and age in subtle shades of aqua and blue. Or you can get tall thin glasses at a hobby store.
I don't know what part of the country you live in, but there are some very nice lacey things that grow as wildflowers that could be used. Queen Anne's Lace is nice, and a walk through the early spring woods might give you some ideas. Bridal Wreath (spyria?) would be nice, as well as wild almond.
Good luck. I am sure it will be beautiful.
Reply:At my niece's bridal shower, the maid of honor used mason jars, with a piece of printed material torn into strips and glued this around the top of the jar. Over this, she tied a piece of raffia into a bow. She filled each jar with wild flowers. They were very inexpensive and looked so cute. Everyone got to take one home with them. I still use mine as a vase.
Reply:Maybe just stick a single rose in each. It's simple and yet fairly elegant.
Reply:Go to weddingchannel.com or the knot.com they have tons of pictures.
Reply:http://www.floral-box-supply.com/article...
I thought that link had a cute idea.
What is she using as a main flower for her wedding? You may want to coordinate that but only use a single flower in each vase, or you can buy white roses and put some food coloring in a spray bottle and spritz the roses different colors. Or do a cookie on a stick in the vases so it's a favor and a decoration.

What to do with my dead/dried flowers?
I got 2 different flower arrangements for Valentines Day and instead of throwing them away now that they are dead I want to do something crafty with them..anyone have any good ideas, suggestions, websites??
What to do with my dead/dried flowers?
Since they are already dead and most likely dried, pressing them would probably not work, you would have crumbs.
If the flowers still look pretty good, you could cur the stems off and glue the flowers onto a picture frame or mirror frame.
Otherwise, pull the flowers apart, get some fragrance oil, mix a few drops of oil into the flower petals and place in a bowl in your bedroom or bathroom for potpourri. Add oil as needed to refresh the scent.
Reply:stitch a little pillow with the dried petals in the stuffing. This smells good and makes a nice sachet for your drawer.
You can embellish it with ribbon bows or buttons if you like.
Reply:Well if they still look visually pleasing you can encase them in resin (it is a liquid that dries into hard plastic) If the flowers are small enough you can make one of them into a pretty pendant that you can keep with you and wear around your neck.
you could do the same thing with another flower by crushing the pedals into tiny pieces and sprinkling it into resin. you can get a silicone icetray to pour your resin and flower petals into and maybe get some of those little letter beads to place inside and spell something. Maybe your initials or use numbers to remember the date by.
If you like any of these ideas I can show you where you can get the supplies you'd need as well as some tutorials although im sure they would already be included with the maerials.
Here is an examples of a resin jewelry:

What is left to do 2 weeks before the wedding - because I have an amazing opportunity?
I am getting married on October 1st. I am trying to get everything I can think of done now... dress alterations, catering, cake, make the flower arrangements and bouquets, make the favors, etc.
What is there usually left to do 2 weeks before the wedding? I have the opportunity to take a week long workshop where I would get to work with masters in my field. It would be a lot of fun and it would be very helpful, however, I would be away from home and computers (probably) for a full 5 or 6 days. I've been trying to get to do such a workshop for a few years now and this one is the most convenient and doable... other than the timing. Am I insane for even considering it? Or would it be a nice break from all of the wedding stuff?
Thank you for your insight.

but if you could get all this done before your workshop (which you could) go for it!
Reply:I say go to the workshop. If you can get everything organized and lined up you should be ready to go. I am in the final 2 weeks and the only thing I am doing now is just the phone call to the Baker, Florist, and such to just make sure we are still on and ready to go. I too went ahead and finalized things that could have been done way back when.
Good Luck!!
Reply:I have been involved with several friends' weddings (plus my own), and usually there isn't a lot to do that close to the wedding. I would say get everything done that you possibly can beforehand, and designate a bridesmaid or family member to serve as a contact for any of your vendors for that week in case something comes up. Set a timeline for the week before the wedding to make sure everything will be covered, and then have fun!
Reply:Take the opportunity! It sounds like you have everything taken care of, and it probably will be a nice break from all of the planning. Most hotels have compute access, if you think you'll need it. Leave your wedding service providers your cell phone number, in case they need to reach you, and just let them know you'll be out of town in case an emergency arises. Best wishes!
Reply:It would be a great break for you. However, as long as it's done by the weekend before the wedding - you will need to be around the week of...
Reply:You're not insane! Actually you're lucky to have time to do this before your wedding. Do it if you think you wont get too distracted. It could be the relaxing therapy you need before the wedding and actually calm your nerves?
Just remember though, "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue!"
Good luck!
Reply:Just because you are getting married it does not mean your life is over, you should definitely go on the course if it is something you have been wanting for a long time. Enlist the help of your fiance, bridesmaid and mother and mother in law to help with any last minute unexpected happenings while you are away, if there is anything drastic that happens i am sure they could call you to discuss it.
Reply:I think you should do it. If you're planning everything that you think can get planned now, you can always have your mom or someone else take care of tiny details while you're away. This is furthering your career, and you and your husbands livelihood later on! Good Luck and Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials.
Reply:If you have a good man. You should be fine. My wife got sick the week before our wedding and I took over everything. Men are not all morons when it comes to this stuff. If you are marring him he should know what you like and don't. You should take your workshop it sounds like a great oppertunity. In fact after you leave for the workshop don't let him see you until you come down the isle. It will make the day all the more special. A good man would not only understand but would not let you pass up this oppertunity. He can handle it just give him a chance.
Reply:go do it give yourself a break! Make sure everything is paid for and you have your rings and marriage license all set before you go away! Have Fun!!
Reply:I just got married on July 1st... the week previous to that - I was out of town on business from Sunday to Wednesday. It was the best thing! I was gone - out of town - out of control. I left a small list of minor things that needed to be done... but it was very relaxing to just be away!! GO! do it. It will be a stress relief!
Reply:You should go to the workshop. All the major wedding things can be taken care of before, and what needs to be done can be done by your fiance, who is 50% of this after all.
The workshop may impact your lives and marriage for decades; the wedding is a party that lasts one day. How good the party is has no effect on how good the marriage will be.
Reply:As long as you've stuck to your plan, and have everything as ready to go as possible, go to the workshop! You may want to sit down with someone you trust to put them "in charge" incase anything unexpected comes up while you're gone--like your fiance or the MoH
Reply:You should go you would not want to pass up that kind of opportunity. If you have planned everything out you should be fine.
Reply:I'm 3.5 weeks away from my wedding at this point and there is still a lot left to do! But, if you plan well you should be ok as long as you will be back for that last week before your wedding. The major stuff you'd want done before you leave (assuming you've been planning all along and have your vendors lined up!) is to get your marriage license, make sure your programs are made, favors are taken care of, thank you gifts for the bridal party have been purchased, your dress has been altered, the guest list is finalized, place cards have been taken care of, and that everyone knows when and where they need to be concerning the wedding/rehearsal/any other events. Your groom can take care of any emergencies and phone calls to confirm everything with vendors can take place when you get back. I'd definitely go if you think the above list can be done beforehand! Hope this helps! Congrats and good luck :-)
Reply:YOU MUST TAKE THE CHANCE to do the work shop!
Since you say that you have been trying to go on the work shop for years how could you not! This is an investment in your career that you can benefit from for years to come, not just planning for ONE DAY, and even if there are some bumps along the way on your wedding day, it doesn't matter, because you have the foresight to see that the workshop will benefit your career and relationship with your sweet heart
I am more suprised that you would consider passing the opprotunity to stay and plan wedding stuff!
get your fiance on board to help you while you are away!
You may regret it if you don't rake the chance now!!
Reply:Yes, go to the workshop!
Reply:The two weeks before the wedding can be very hectic and stressful. You should not take this workshop. You owe it to your upcoming marriage to put all you have in to the wedding, not a fun workshop.
Think of this is a test for the future... the marriage has to always be the first priority or it will never work.
Congrats on the nuptials.
Reply:try to addopt your husbands attitude towards everything so that you two will not fight in anything that your different at

The major stuff you'd want done before you leave (assuming you've been planning all along and have your vendors lined up!) is to get your marriage license, make sure your programs are made, favors are taken care of, thank you gifts for the bridal party have been purchased, your dress has been altered, the guest list is finalized, place cards have been taken care of, and that everyone knows when and where they need to be concerning the wedding/rehearsal/any other events. Your groom can take care of any emergencies and phone calls to confirm everything with vendors can take place when you get back. I'd definitely go if you think the above list can be done beforehand! Hope this helps! Congrats and good luck :-)
Reply:YOU MUST TAKE THE CHANCE to do the work shop!
Since you say that you have been trying to go on the work shop for years how could you not! This is an investment in your career that you can benefit from for years to come, not just planning for ONE DAY, and even if there are some bumps along the way on your wedding day, it doesn't matter, because you have the foresight to see that the workshop will benefit your career and relationship with your sweet heart
I am more suprised that you would consider passing the opprotunity to stay and plan wedding stuff!
get your fiance on board to help you while you are away!
You may regret it if you don't rake the chance now!!
Reply:Yes, go to the workshop!
Reply:The two weeks before the wedding can be very hectic and stressful. You should not take this workshop. You owe it to your upcoming marriage to put all you have in to the wedding, not a fun workshop.
Think of this is a test for the future... the marriage has to always be the first priority or it will never work.
Congrats on the nuptials.

First i think it depends on where you are located and the craft show you are attending though it does sound like you want to sort of start a craft business so it follows that you could register your business and just start off small as a home based business search on the internet on how to register your business and also visit a tax consultant and your local chamber of commerce. They will have listings for shows and will also advice you about registering your business because even if you do decide to go the ebay way or a website eventually you may have a fully fledged business.
Wishing you success
