Just stopped by a local florist to pick up some hydrangeas to do a test run of the centerpieces this weekend. She mentioned that pewter was bad for flowers. And that I should not place real flowers...

I have tried a few and yet found one that actually looks natural. I tried shumeura's farfillina which is not bad. Wispiness by Ardell, singular lashes by quo which takes forever. What else is good?

We are avid Tervis Tumbler fans! They are becoming our cup of choice. My FH saw the standard wedding ones and asked what I though of them. I like them but took it a step farther and made a...

I saw on another site where a bride used drinking glasses from IKEA for her centerpiece rather than using candle votives (vases?). It looked beautiful as she had 6 on each table at various heights. I...

Those of you who have or are doing a Shutterfly photobook for your guestbook, what size? I have only purchased their 8x8 hard covers before, but I think that might be a little small for a guestbook....

I have this vision in my head for my table numbers. I want to take vintage looking picture frames, with a lace background and the numbers on top of that (in my wedding colors [dusty rose]) Problem is,...

So to dress up the head table a bit, I wanted to re-create this look I saw on Pinterest. Our chairs are mahogany chiavari chairs with ivory seat cushions. My question is, how much fabric (chiffon) do...

Our venue has let us know that we're not allowed to use flower petals when walking down the aisle (it's a conserved nature area) - and we've got three flower girls. What the heck do you think we could...
Do you guys think that buying a champagne fountain is cheaper than renting one. Pros and cons. Rents for 300.00 for 2-3 hours

Friends, I'm putting together decorative frames, 3 items to each table. They REALLY don't have to be fancy, just either black or white, and 4"x6". Since i'll be purchasing a bunch (figure at least 150...

So after much searching, I have been successful in finding an elegant, yet Harry Potter themed program. It will cost a bit to get the template and print, but totally worth it for the fun factor. I...

Anyone know where I can find a template for a small booklet program, I want to do a small one like 3x3 or 4x4 but I can't find a template anywhere. Thanks everyone!

Can anyone recommend some DIY aisle markers? My wedding is in June in a garden and my colors are coral and fuschia. Butterflies are kind of my "theme". The aisle markers would need to hang or be...

Anyone using satin table runners how did you get the wrinkles out? I tried steam ironing, and the dryer. Neither worked! I also called around to take them somewhere and ridiculously enough it cost...

Has anyone done this? Did you have success? I think making the template should be easy enough...then finding card stock, printing, finding the sticks, and let the cutting and gluing begin! I don't...
