Hey everyone! My fiancé and I want everyone to throw leaves as we walk back up the aisle after the ceremony... My only question is how many leaves do we put in each packet? And do we put packets in...

What are some centerpieces that I could buy/make that don't involve candles or flowers. I'm pretty sure that I can't afford flowers for the centerpieces without buying them wholesale and making them...

I don't want it to seem tacky or lame... I'm getting a lot of nice rentals; farm tables, chiavari chairs, umbrellas, nice China and flatware, I'll have lots of fresh flowers, chiffon table runners,...

I'm thinking about doing faux flowers for the wedding instead of real ones so that I can work on arranging them in advance (not enough money in the budget for a pro florist). I can't decide if I...

I'm getting married in October 2016 and we're having a rustic country theme. I'm doing a ton of diy projects and even considering doing my own food. What kinds of food would work best for an outdoor...

I have decided I want to have a Program Board(s), instead of printing individual programs. In my mind, they aren't used for more than 30 minutes and then go in the trash. Our ceremony will be pretty...
