If you want to create your own centerpieces, a classic arrangement in a clear glass globe or cube is a lovely choice that isn’t too difficult to assemble yourself. Hardy, large-headed flowers such as roses are best for this project. These centerpieces take between 30 and 60 minutes to arrange and, depending on the size of your container, will use about 50 to 75 stems.…

I’ve been exploring more favor ideas…

Aunie Nalanis Cookies: cookies from Hawaii with either a seashell or orchid. Only $6.50 each, including shipping! My only concern is that the boxes are too big (about the size of a roll of toilet paper according to the site), so I don’t think it would look elegant on the table. I could have them put in a ribbon…

Looking for an alternative to the traditional bridal bouquet? Here’s how to make a green-themed pomander in 3 easy steps.

Thinking of making your own bridal bouquet? This green-themed pomander is a beautiful design for casual or formal events. Bells of Ireland blossoms, removed from their stems in groups, are arranged on a floral foam sphere to create a captivating pomander bouquet. The unusual chartreuse…

Kampo Floral Design. I’m not sure if I want to go with just whites and greens or add some color (either peaches or blues).

I’d like something like this for the centerpieces……

… Argh… I was supposed to have flowers settled by now. So far, I’ve only met with one florist - Kampo Floral Design - but their estimate came in a bit high, and I feel like the centerpieces would be a bit small. Bigger ones would, of course, cost mo money.

I just discovered Antheia florist in Jersey City. The flowers on the website are…

Hey NY brides, someone on theknot had a great idea for out-of-town gift bags:

These are $5.00 at Fishs Eddy. You can fill them with the usual snacks, water, wedding info…

5:00 in the morning and I just can’t sleep. I’ve been up since 3:00 am, and I finally gave up and got out of bed a half hour ago. I was cruising on theknot and came across this amazing bio. I want to get married in Hawaii now. Check it out!

¢â€š¬¢ Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day to curb your appetite and fill you up when you’re hungry. All that moisture is good for your skin too.

¢â€š¬¢ Use the fruit and vegetable bin in the refrigerator to store high-fat temptations. You are apt to forget they’re there!

My boyfriend actually said the words “hun, i think it would be fun if we took dance lessons together.”

….wha,wha,WHAT?! ok first of all he’s a guy’s guy. football, espn 24/7, scratches his ass type of guy (please ladies, he’s taken). so for him to even suggest this i was…well…surprised! Excited but surprised. Here’s a few I found. if you know of anymore please let me…

Instead of doing table numbers I want to go with flower names and make the centerpiece whatever the table name is going to be. I’m psychotic and have a color theme that I really really really want to stick with so these are the flowers. We’ll have 12 tables…..

1.green hydrangeas / 2.green mums / 3.green dahlias / 4.green ranunculus

5.white hydrangeas / 6.white ranunculus 7.white dahlias…

I was surfing wedding messageboards yesterday so it’s picture time! I love the pink/brown color scheme. Initially I wanted to do it for my brother’s wedding, but the venue is a little dark so we decided to go with something more vibrant and season appropriate.

Here are a couple of sites other than ebay where you can buy/sell wedding stuff.

Gurlywear, Sellyourweddingdress, thebrideslist.

I wish I had this at my wedding! Guests could take photos of themselves as wedding favors or give you the photos so you could scrapbook them. I think they cost around $1000 - $2000 to rent. What fun!
