All the Single Ladies Catch this Bouquet


How many single ladies will be at your wedding? Wouldn't you just love for all of your single friends to catch your bouquet? Well here's a twist on that special bouquet toss.

Prepare several small nosegays of the flowers of your choice, in your favorite color schemes. Tie each of the small nosegays with ribbons. Grab the whole bunch into one large bouquet and when it is time to toss the bouquet, just toss the whole thing. Nosegays will be flying everywhere and most of your single lady friends will be giddy with excitement over catching a sentimental piece of your big day.


You can personalize the ribbons with you and your new hubby's name, and maybe a quote or sentiment, to thank your friends for being a part of your special day.

Now that's trendy. Happy planning!!!

Hydrangeas and Calla Lilies - Elegant at Best

When looking to develop a simple, and elegant decor for your wedding or special event, hydrangeas and calla lilies are an excellent choice. Both flowers are very elegant and can make a statement all by themselves. Or you can combine the two for a gorgeous arrangement. Source: Fresh Blooms of Houston

My personal favorite is the calla lily but I have been very impressed by the simplicity and fullness of the hydrangea. You can make wonderful centerpieces with just a few and that could help keep your decor costs very reasonable. Unlike the calla lily, it is very delicate and must be handled with care, but most florists and/or decorators are very familiar with this flower and they will more than likely have lots of photo samples to show.
