8 Wedding Rules That Can Be Broken

Wishing Tree

This is a really cute idea for a Wedding Wishing Tree! Love the white flowers on the tree, it goes great with the pink paper and the brown branches! Write whatever you want on cards and hang them with a wish for the happy couple!

Flower POWER!!!

Flowers create a visual emotional impact at your wedding celebration. There are several ways to stretch your floral budget while creating a uniquely striking look.

•  Stay with seasonal and local flowers. These blooms are readily available, come in many colors, and will be less expensive for each bloom.
• Use fewer flowers by taking advantage of the fullness of greenery and fluffy blooms.
• Avoid marrying during Holidays such as valentines day or mothers day when flowers are in demand and the cost will be at its highest.
• Cluster masses of the same color blooms to convey impact without a high price tag.
• Take advantage of the natural beauty of a garden for a beautifully free display of flowers. 
•  Think simplicity and elegance. A single bloom for the bride and attendants can be stunning while stretching your budget.
• YES...it is perfectly fine to use SILK flora's...however...make sure they are the BEST your money can buy!! and that your designer know what they are doing!!  Need some help??? Contact me, I work with some AWESOME designers!!!

 Flowers will make a statement about your style as a couple~use these suggestions to get the impact while making the best use of your budget. ~Monique~
