Rose Petals for Flower Girls
Imani, on March 14, 2022 at 2:59 PM

Where to buy rose petals? I saw some on esty, but I am indecisive if I want to go with the ‘cheaper’ looking petals because they’re going in the trash after. Or if I should go with the better option...

Processional Music
Kelly, on March 14, 2022 at 7:37 PM

I feel a little silly asking this, but all of the threads I've seen about processional music discuss modern music, sometimes with lyrics. I was planning on having all Baroque music with an emphasis on...
