Mrs. Milkshake, Seattle/Vancouver, BC Age and Occupation: 23, Pharmacist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Pharmacist Engagement Date: May 2007 Wedding Date: August 2008 Blogging Since: December 6, 2007 Venue: Victorian Mansion About Me: Despite the fact that I’ve invested many long years of my life studying the sciences in college, I’m glad to be out of there and I would never do it again! I’m super artsy at heart - I run an indie craft site, I grew up shooting and developing my own film, doing jazz and ballet, and the whole gamut of art classes. I’ve been called a Jane of all Trades… but I was also told many years ago not to make my passion my career because it’d suck the fun out of it. Hence my choice of day job. We live in Seattle but are having our wedding in Canada to be fair to all our family and friends.

Hello red. Lots and lots of it.

Instyle Weddings tells me to use ranunculus as a cost-saving alternative to roses.

Personally I really like dahlias, and for some reason, hydrangeas, but perhaps for the latter that’s just because I’m thinking of something that would go with a mansion. And I of course had wanted a bunch of “dead things” for my decor - branches, bold and contrasting dried arrangments…. but posh wedding magazines aren’t going to feature a whole lot of plant carcasses for me.

Back to the topic at hand: red. Red has some chinese overtones.
