Another Tip & Tidbit this week - if you're keeping count that's three this week!!

This one is sponsored by Eastern Iowa Baking Company.

Rhonda from Eastern Iowa Baking Company answers the wedding cake rule. Don't know what that is? We've got you covered!

When should you serve the wedding cake? Traditionally, the wedding cake is served after dinner and near the end of the reception. This signifies that the celebration is coming to an end in an hour or so. HOWEVER, most receptions last for several hours beyond the cake cutting and service. Many couples these days are choosing to cut and serve shortly after arrival and speaches are made. This allows for the bride and groom to continue on with the reception and having fun without stopping for formalities.

7 Wedding Flower Mistakes To Avoid

Planning a wedding is no easy task. No matter how much time, effort, or money you invest into bringing your dream celebration to life, mistakes are bound to happen along the way—trust us, we’ve seen our fair share. And with flowers being one of the most important wedding day details, prepping you for any speedbumps you might encounter. As your florist, we’re here to make sure you’re set up for success.

To ensure your arrangements turn out stunning and your planning journey is stress-free, here are seven wedding flower mistakes you’ll want to avoid.

1. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
Waiting until the last minute is never a good idea. This is especially true when it comes to hiring a florist and picking out your wedding day flowers. We recommend securing your florist, if you can, at least a year before your wedding day. Saving this as a last-minute detail will leave you will limited options for both florists and flowers to choose from. It’ll also leave you with potentially a higher bill. So make sure sorting out your flowers is a top wedding planning priority.

2. Consider Your Wedding Season and Location When Picking Flowers
Each season offers a unique palette of blooms you can incorporate into your wedding design. And as the seasons change, so do your wedding flower options. Some flowers thrive better in different environments, temperatures, etc. That’s why it’s important to take into account both the season and location of your wedding. These details will play a large part in what flowers you can or should pick.
Going for out-of-season blooms comes with a heft price tag. And picking flowers that don’t thrive well in your wedding location and season will come with a long list of potential problems if not cared for correctly.

3. Think About Your Venue Design
When you’re sitting down with your florist, don't forget about your venue. What does the venue look like—is it a whimsical garden, an industrial warehouse, or maybe an urban rooftop? Whatever it may be, don’t forget to use your venue space as inspiration. Keep in mind that the flowers you choose should complement the space, not clash with it.

4. Don’t Take on Too Many DIY Projects
Now, we know that DIY projects are all the rage right now. And while we love to see our clients take on the challenge, it’s sometimes just best to leave it to the professionals. While many will want a hands-on wedding planning approach, that won’t be the case when it comes to the wedding day itself. You’ve spent a lot of time and money making your dream a reality, the last thing you want to do is work on your big day.
So before you take on a long list of DIY projects, consider this: without a florist, you’re responsible for picking flowers, assembling arrangements, transporting, setting up, and even the teardown process. Cue the stress.

5. Underestimating Your Floral Budget
Wedding flowers often take up a large portion of your wedding budget. And as a first-time planner, it’s easy to underestimate the amount of money you’ll need to pull off your vision. And underestimating the amount you’ll spend on flowers can leave you stressing down the line. That’s why it’s important to talk through numbers with a professional florist. They’ll be able to help you create a budget-friendly plan and recommend options within your price point

6. Take Care of Your on Your Wedding Day
Once the flowers have been delivered, your job is not done. Remember that flowers are perishable and if not taken care of in the right way, they can lose their freshness. And after spending so much time and money on your arrangements, that’s the last thing you want. So before your big day talk to your florist about delivery time, making sure it’s close to the event start time, and with your venue about care options.

7. Don’t Overlook the Logistics
When planning your flower arrangements it’s easy to get lost in all the fun details. But, whatever you do, don’t forget about the logistics. Let’s take your reception table centerpieces for example. You don’t want to have large centerpieces that block your guests' view or take up too much space, leaving no room for food. Keep these logistical details in mind when designing your arrangements.
Trust us, avoiding these seven flower mistakes will ensure your wedding blooms are picture-perfect and stress-free!

So much for Tuesday!! How about Hump Day Tips instead?!

This week's Tips & Tidbits are sponsored by Hignight Florist and Eastern Iowa Baking Company.

Corry at Hignight Florst in East Moline helps us prepare for a meeting with our florist! Make sure you scroll down to read all five.

How To Prep For A Meeting With Your Wedding Florist

You don't want to underestimate the power of preparation, especially when it comes to meeting with your florist (and other wedding vendors)—trust us. The first meeting with your florist sets the foundation for turning your floral dreams into a stunning reality. By being prepared, you can make the most of the face-to-face time you have with your florist and ensure that your vision is communicated, understood, and executed flawlessly. And we’re here to help you get ready.

From determining your budget to creating a mood board that reflects your desired vision, here’s our how-to guide for preparing for a meeting with your wedding florist.

1. Know Your Budget
Before you start meeting with vendors, including your florist, you gotta get a handle on your budget. It's crucial to have an agreed understanding of your overall budget, but also exactly how much money you’re planning to spend on every aspect of your wedding. This knowledge will come in super handy when you sit down with your florist because they’ll be able to show you some amazing blooms and arrangements that comfortably fit into your budget. It's all about getting those realistic options that won't break the bank.

2. Create A Mood Board
Before you head into the initial meeting with your florist, sit down with your partner and look through real wedding inspiration. Scroll through Instagram or create a Pinterest board to gather all the inspiration that catches your eye in one place. This will serve as your mood board for your florist to peek at before making recommendations. It'll help you communicate your vision loud and clear, giving them a solid understanding of what you're after.
But keep in mind that it's not just about knowing what you like. It’s equally important for you to understand what you and your partner don’t like. So have both lists ready to go, so your florist can help turn your floral dreams into a breathtaking reality.

3. Create A Wedding Checklist
Florals play such an important role on your big day. That’s why you want to have your wedding flower checklist handy. This will be a list of all the flower details you want to be incorporated into your wedding design. We’re talking about everything from bouquets to boutonnieres and even flowers to dress up your wedding cake. Having this magical list will make sure that no detail is overlooked or forgotten.

4. Write Down Your Questions
If this is your first rodeo, odds are you’ll have a million questions. And when it comes time to meet with your florist, you want to make sure you don’t miss a single one. This will save you from having to bombard your florist with all your questions via email. It’ll save you time and also allow you to get on the same page from the beginning—both key to successfully pulling off your wedding vision.
Not exactly sure what questions you should be asking your florist? Here are a few to consider writing down to ask your florist during your initial meeting:
• Are you available on my wedding date?
• Have you worked at my venue before?
• Do you have a minimum floral budget?
• Do you offer pre-set packages or fully customized packages?
• Which flowers do you recommend based on my wedding date/season?
• How far in advance do I need to order my flowers?
• Do you require a deposit? If so, how much?
• When is the final payment due?
• What is your cancellation policy?
• Do you deliver flowers on the wedding day? And is there a delivery fee?
• What time do you deliver flowers and set up the ceremony/reception arrangements?

5. Be Open Minded
Remember, you don’t need to have every detail sorted before meeting with your wedding vendors. In fact, it’s probably best not to have every detail 100% figured out. This gives you flexibility and allows you to remain open-minded. Remember, you're seeking the expertise of a florist because they're the pros. And while you might come into your initial meeting with a vision in mind, it’s important to stay open to any recommendations your florist may throw your way.

They might unveil some incredible flower choices or unexpected color combinations that you haven't even thought about yet. Being open-minded opens the door to a whole new set of possibilities for your wedding design.

Happy Valentine's Day! For those of you who are newly engaged today or recently engaged, we have some Tips & Tidbits to help you plan your big day by local industry experts.

Today's second Tip & Tidbit is sponsored by Rhonda at Eastern Iowa Baking Company. Be sure to check out the first Tip & Tidbit sponsored by Corry at Highnight Florist.

Eastern Iowa Baking Company answers the age old question...

Who pays for the wedding cake?

Traditionally speaking, that is to say couples who identify as bride and groom, the bride’s family pays for the wedding cake.

Many couples are taking a “non-traditional” approach and paying for the cake and other wedding expenses themselves. This is really a personal decision that should be discussed between the couple and relevant family members.

To make an appointment to discuss your cake and bakery needs, contact Rhonda at Eastern Iowa Baking Company.

This week's first Tips & Tidbit Tuesdays tip...

6 Tips For Wedding Florals On A Budget

You’re wanting to pull off your dream wedding, without draining your bank account. And while you want to save a little money, you also don’t want to sacrifice stunning floral arrangements—we hear you. But with a little creativity, openness, and a talented florist by your side, bringing to life your dream wedding florals on a budget isn’t impossible.

We know you’re probably left wondering ‘But how?!’ We’ve got you covered. Here are some of our favorite must-know tips that’ll help you achieve beautiful wedding flowers on a budget.

1. Skip The DIY Projects
DIY projects can be a blast to take on, we get it. And you may think that completing these tasks yourself will save you money, but that’s not actually the case. When it comes to your wedding flowers, it's better to skip the DIY route. Trust us. Making your own floral arrangements may sound like a fun idea, but it takes a lot of time, energy, and money—especially if you've never done it before.
If you're considering a DIY approach, keep in mind that you'll need to invest in all the tools, supplies, floral arranging materials, and even the flowers themselves. And let's be honest, these costs can add up quickly. Plus, there’s a chance the final results may not match the level of quality you’d get from a professional. So save yourself from potentially costly mistakes and skip the DIY projects.

2. Hire A Professional Florist
What if we told you that hiring a professional wedding florist could actually save you money? Well, it’s true! A professional florist (like me) has experience working with a variety of different wedding budgets. And we can help you bring to life your dream floral arrangements, without breaking the bank by helping suggest cost-effective alternatives.

3. Take Your Wedding Season Into Consideration
The time of year you decide to tie the knot plays a large role in your wedding floral options and pricing. As the seasons change, so do your floral options. So when it comes time to assemble your dream floral arrangements, stick to seasonal blooms that are more affordable rather than costly out-of-season flowers.
Not exactly sure what your flower options are? We’re here to help. Check out our ultimate guide to help you choose wedding flowers for every season.

4. Use Local Blooms
Sourcing local flowers has a long list of advantages. First, saving on transportation costs, using local flowers is often more budget-friendly. It also gives you a chance to support local growers while also planning a more eco-friendly celebration. Plus, because they are sourced locally, you’re guaranteed freshness and longevity. They are harvested closer to your wedding date and haven’t undergone the potentially damaging shipping process.

5. Incorporate Greenery Into Your Floral Design
When it comes to creating stylish arrangements that won’t break the bank, greenery is gold. Being more affordable than flowers, you can dress up your arrangements with lush greenery. Greenery can be a stunning addition to elevate bouquets, reception tables, and even your ceremony backdrop. The best part? The possibilities are truly endless, making it the perfect hack for couples that want to use expensive blooms without putting a dent in their wallets.

6. Repurpose Your Ceremony Decor
Between your ceremony and reception, there is a long list of floral arrangements you’ll need to sort out. Sounds a bit costly, doesn’t it? Well, it doesn’t have to be. To help save money and create a smooth transition between both spaces, consider reusing your ceremony flowers for the reception. For example, your ceremony arch can become your sweetheart table backdrop. Or your bridesmaids' bouquets can be reused as centerpieces.

Regardless of your budget, no wedding floral vision is impossible to pull off. All you need are these must-know money-saving tips and a talented wedding florist. And if you’re still on the hunt for a florist that’ll help bring your vision to life, I’m here to help. Visit Corey at Hignight Florist.

Our second tip this Tuesday is brought to us by Eastern Iowa Baking Company who's asking us...

To Cake or Not to Cake?
Should you have a wedding cake? Trends change with the wind so it’s really a personal choice. With that said, having a cake to cut provides a wonderful photo op. However, some brides and grooms don’t like cake. If that’s you, you understand. But for some people cake is a must for a wedding. There are ways to appease both! One option is to have what is called a “dummy” cake on the lower tiers and a real cake on the top to cut. Please note that this option will cost you as much as a real cake. A single small cake for the photo op is also an option. Then you can get creative. The sky is the limit! You can have cupcakes, sheet cakes or be really creative and do something as bold as Rice Krispie treats, fruit, tower of cream puffs, donuts, or an entire table of various sweet treats. Have fun and be creative it’s your wedding!

Unique Ways to Incorporate Flowers Into Your Wedding:

In efforts to plan a celebration that’s unlike any other, many couples are exploring unique ways to incorporate blooms into their special day. Especially because flowers play such an important role in bringing together your wedding vision. And if you’re on the hunt for ideas that will add an unconventional twist to your big day, listen up.
Here are some creative ways to incorporate flowers that’ll make your wedding an unforgettable, enchanting affair ideas that’ll take your floral-filled wedding to the next level.

1. Have a Flower-Filled Ceremony Backdrop

No matter where you decide to tie the knot, adding a flower-filled ceremony backdrop is always a good idea. Maybe you’re tying the knot outdoors with towering mountains as your backdrop. If that’s the case, add grounded floral arrangements to enhance your ceremony space. Saying ‘I do’ in a modern, industrial venue? Go for a custom-made ceremony arch adorned with vibrant florals to frame your most cherished moments.
This creative addition to your wedding decor is the perfect way to add a pop of personality to your ceremony.

2. Incorporate Florals Into Your Hair

Elevate your wedding day look by incorporating florals into your hairstyle. Whether you’re rocking an updo, leaving your hair down, or a little mix of both—this unique idea is sure to take your look up a notch. It’ll complement your chosen bouquet while also tying together your decor and fashion.
Work with your hairstylist to create a strikingly unique look with a single statement bloom or a subtle scattering of tiny flowers. You can weave them into a simple braid or create a flower crown to top off your loose curly look. Whatever your choose, the addition of flowers will create an unforgettable look.

3. Trade Centerpieces for Hanging Flower Chandeliers

If you’re really looking to wow your guests, trade ordinary centerpieces for hanging flower chandeliers that’ll add a whimsical and elegant touch to your reception space. Picture your guests seated beneath a mesmerizing canopy of blooms—doesn’t get much better, does it?
You can work with your florist to create arrangements complete with fresh flowers, lush greenery, or even dried blooms that’ll dangle above your reception tables. This innovative twist frees up table space and takes your centerpieces to new heights, literally.

4. Add a Floral Flair to the Reception Chairs

Of course, your reception chairs are an essential component of your big day. But this is your reminder not to underestimate the decor potential that can come with these logistical wedding elements. So, as you select your chairs, don't hesitate to incorporate them into your decor with the addition of flowers.
No matter your wedding style or budget, there are endless options for your wedding chair decorations. Team up with your florist to add that extra flair to your reception chairs.

5. Finish Off Your Signature Cocktails with Flowers

If you plan on having signature cocktails during your cocktail hour or reception, you want to make sure they look as good as they taste. So take this chance to stand out by garnishing your cocktails with a little touch of elegance and flowers. Whether you use a single floating flower or a bouquet attached to the rim of each glass, floral accents are a subtle detail that’ll have your guests coming back for another round.

6. Add Flowers to Your Wedding Cake

We can’t think of a sweeter way to enhance your wedding cake design than with flowers. Turn your cake into a piece of art by adding enchanting flowers that match your wedding decor. For multi-tiered cakes, consider a cascade of flowers. If you’re going for a more minimalist style, opt for an arrangement of petals. Either way, this embellishment to your wedding cake will turn your wedding cake into a piece of art.

7. Petal-Throwing Grand Exit

Looking for the perfect way to end your flower-filled celebration? Skip the traditional sparkler exit, instead go for a petal-throwing grand exit. Just picture this: you and your partner, surrounded by your loved ones, making your grand exit under cascading petals. This grand exit will be the ultimate happy ending to your big day, leaving a lasting impression on you and your guests.

8. Decorate the Getaway Car

Are you planning to speak off in a getaway car after tying the knot? Don’t forget to add some of that floral magic. Adding floral arrangements to your car is your chance to add that personal touch and make a memorable statement. Plus, it’ll make for a stunning photo opportunity!

8 Floral Wedding Centerpieces To Wow Your Guests
This week's Tips & Tidbits Tuesday is brought to us by Hignight Florist https://hignights.com/

Flowers play such an important role in transforming your event space into a dream wedding venue. From your bouquet and boutonniere choices to your ceremony’s aisle arrangements and backdrop, there are a lot of details to sort out. But often, some of the most stunning floral installations are on display during the reception—we’re talking about centerpieces.

If you’re on the hunt for flower-filled centerpieces that’ll take your reception space to the next level, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite wedding centerpieces you can use as inspiration for your own celebration, regardless of your wedding style.

1. Tall Floral Displays
If you want to take your wedding centerpieces to new heights and a bit of dimension to your reception space, do it with tall floral displays. Work alongside your florist to design dramatic floral displays that’ll make a statement towering over the reception tables.

2. Hanging Floral Chandeliers
If you’re really looking to wow your guests, trade ordinary centerpieces for hanging flower chandeliers that’ll add a whimsical and elegant touch to your reception space. Picture your guests seated beneath a mesmerizing canopy of blooms—doesn’t get much better, does it?
You can work with your florist to create arrangements complete with fresh flowers, lush greenery, or even dried blooms that’ll dangle above your reception tables. This innovative twist frees up table space and takes your centerpieces to new heights, literally.

3. Minimal and Modern Centerpieces
Your centerpieces don’t have to be over the top in order to make a statement. Instead, embrace the minimal look. It’s true what they say, there’s beauty in simplicity. And if you’re looking to pull off a subtle yet showstopping reception vibe, use classic vases with a singular rose to create modern centerpieces that’ll catch the eye of your guests.

4. Greenery Garland Centerpieces
Is there such a thing as too much greenery? We don't think so. Newsflash: Your centerpieces don’t solely have to be made up of flowers. So when it comes time to talk to your florist about reception centerpieces, don’t be afraid to make greenery the main event. An entire garland spanning the length of the table adds such a lush touch to your reception decor. You can even dress it up with some classic candles.

5. Funky Vases
Have you decided on a neutral color palette but now searching for ways to add unique touches? The vases you choose for your floral centerpieces will be the way to do it. You can add an array of colorful, mismatched vases or even stick with the neutral theme with a twist, such as these funky mirrored vases.

6. Rustic Wooden Centerpieces
Adding wooden details to your reception decor is one way to add a rustic flair to any event. And when it comes to your centerpieces specifically, consider swapping out traditional vases for wooden boxes that’ll beautifully showcase your blooms. Plus, the natural texture and earthy tones of the wood are sure to complement any flower choices, making them a popular choice for those seeking an unlike-any-other centerpiece option.

7. Tapered Candles and Mismatched Floral Vases
When it comes to creating the perfect reception table setup, you can’t go wrong with a mix of mismatched vases, colorful blooms, and tapered candles. The mismatched vases bring an eclectic vibe, while the colorful blooms add a stunning pop of color. And let's not forget about those tapered candles, adding a romantic touch that’ll light up your reception space.

8. Vintage Book Centerpieces
Antique and book lovers, this one’s for you. Don’t be afraid to mix things up by dressing your reception tables with treasures from your own or those fun thrifted finds. This unique centerpiece idea adds a bit of playfulness to your tables, brings your flowers to life, and can serve as a conversation started between guests.

We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all wedding. Every couple is different, and every wedding will be too. That’s why, when it comes to selecting your centerpieces, it's essential to create something that genuinely embodies the spirit of your special day. That's where we come in. Start by filling out a consultation, and together, we can begin crafting centerpieces that’ll leave a lasting impression. https://hignights.com/
