Selecting wedding flowers is an important aspect of wedding planning. Here are five things to consider when choosing wedding flowers:

1. Establish a Budget:
Determine how much you are willing to spend on wedding flowers. This will help you narrow down your choices and work within your financial constraints. Be clear about your budget with your florist so they can offer options that align with your financial plan.

2. Consider the Season:
Opt for flowers that are in season during your wedding. Seasonal flowers are usually more readily available, fresher, and more affordable. Additionally, choosing flowers in season can help create a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere with the overall theme of your wedding.

3. Wedding Theme and Colors:
Select flowers that complement the overall theme and color scheme of your wedding. Whether you have a specific color palette or a particular theme in mind, your flowers should enhance the visual aesthetic of the event. Share your wedding colors and theme with your florist so they can suggest flowers that align with your vision.

4. Venue and Style:
Take into account the style and atmosphere of your wedding venue. Different venues may require different types and arrangements of flowers. Whether you're having a casual outdoor wedding or an elegant indoor affair, choose flowers that fit the overall ambiance and setting.

5. Think Beyond Bouquets:
While bridal and bridesmaid bouquets are essential, don't forget about other floral elements such as ceremony arches, aisle decorations, boutonnieres, corsages, and reception centerpieces. Ensure a cohesive look by maintaining consistency in flower choices and colors across various floral elements. This comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of your wedding is adorned with beautiful flowers.

Remember to start the flower planning process early to ensure availability and to make any necessary adjustments. Clear communication with your florist is key to achieving the desired floral arrangements for your special day.

Asking for cash gifts is the new trend, so don't fret! There are simple ways you can go about doing it.

1. Start a Honeyfund Account. Let's face it, even you are hesitant to give people money if you didn't know where that money was going towards. Starting a HoneyFund account will help give your friends and family an idea of where you'll be using their money. Whether it's towards a honeymoon, a new home, starting a family, let your guests know a snippet of where that money is going and your loved ones will be more willing to give cash gifts!

2. Word of Mouth. Do not underestimate the power of word of mouth. People will begin to ask each other what they're going to buy for you as a wedding gift. Have your close friends and family know that you are looking to start a fund for your new home and it's the best gift that anyone could give them right now. Soon, your whole guestlist will know that this is what you're hoping to receive so their guesswork can be skipped!

3. State it on your website. Your website is a powerful tool to communicate with your guests. Use the page for gifts to thank your guests for their thoughtfulness and write a note about how you welcome a cash gift for your new home together as a couple.

4. Write a poem with your invitation. This sounds cheesy, but it's great! With your RSVPs and Save the Dates, add another card that says something along the lines of
"On this day, our special day
We do not know how to say
We have a house and content too
So presents really wouldn’t do
But if a gift you’d like to bring
Then money would be just the thing."

As for feeling bashful for asking for cash gift, don't worry! The trend is cash gifts now! You will rarely see guests lug a big gift to the wedding and expect YOU to lug it back out. Make it clear you welcome the money gifts and remember to thank everyone for their generousity!

💟 Do you intend on following the traditional wedding rhyme? 💟

If so, what pieces will you be including? Please share in the comments below.

The mantra started as a Victorian-era rhyme. In that time, the “something blue” was usually a garter, and the blue and old items protected the bride against the Evil Eye, a curse passed through a malicious glare that makes the bride infertile. “Something borrowed” was preferably the undergarment of a woman who already had children. Legend says that wearing this would confuse the Evil Eye into thinking the bride was already fertile, and the curse would be thwarted!

So you want to make your wedding memorable with small details, but you've seen it: there is so much waste at a wedding.

Some ways to keep the money well spent is looking at what guests typically do not want:

Tons of cake. Guests are now more health conscious. They'll take smaller bites or choose to skip the dessert course. Scale down your cake and shift the savings to a healthier alternative.

Favors. A giveaway is a nice gesture, but would your guests really need this? Get a set amount and have your coordinator hand them out as guests are leaving. This will make sure guests who want them will take them and they won't end up on the floor at the end of the night.

Printed materials. More times than not, we see these used as fans after a quick glance. Do you often want to bring these programs or menus with you to your living room to re-read? Try getting a larger printed board or one standing menu per table to reduce the cost on printed goods!

That way, whenever you smell that fragrance, you will be reminded of your special day.

Do you have any tips you would like to share in the comments below to help our future bride-to-be's? We would love to hear them.

Which one are you thinking for your wedding?

If you're holding the bouquet, remember to match it with your dress(es). Some arrangements may be too loud, too wide or too small depending on the dress style.

Pick a few arrangement styles you'd like and consult your florist when making the final decision on which would be the bet fit for your wedding!

Take these tips with you!

1. ENGAGEMENT PICTURES - Use this opportunity to get to know your photographer and their style. See if they are the right fit for you through a smaller session. The best part is that you can use these shots for your wedding and showcase you and your partner's fun moments through a professional lens.

2. DELIVERY TIMES - Get your vendor's delivery times on paper! It's important to know when your vendor is arriving so that you can follow up with them should they run late. Who knows what may have happened if they are running late. Imagine calling to check on a delivery just to find out the centerpieces you order had been broken and the decorator is scrambling to fix things - you'd want to know how to get your vision together with them! These things DO happen, and it's better to be more detailed than not!

3. GUESTBOOKS - Guests have traveled near and far to gather for your special day. Add a fun touch where you will treasure a loving note that you can open up on anniversaries or while strolling down memory lane to be reminded of all the friends and family members who supported your union.

Buttercream cakes are great for the classic, elegant or event rustic look. These cakes typically have beautiful piping designs on them and match most decor.

Shameless Plug: If you have a planner, this part can be a breeze!

But if you do not, one of the toughest vendors to choose is your venue. This is the one vendor that will be your starting point. Knowing what your venue offers, what availabiliy they have, if the pricing is aligned with your budget, what nuances you would need to plan around, if it aligns with your visions, what restricions they have... it really is the one the vendor that you'll watn to do the most research and the most comparison on.

Begin with your vision. Narrow down the amount of venues with what you actually falls within the realm of what you want your wedding to be like. Simplicity? Rustic? Urban?

Figure out your estimated guestlist. When you know how many people you want to have, this will help you figure out which venues will be able to accommodate your group size comfortably.

Stick to your budget. Don't blow your wedding budget out of the park with your venue cost alone. Have a budget in mind of your overall wedding and see if your venue will make or break that budget!

Consider the mobility of venue for both you and your guests. If you're choose a large resort, you'll have to consider building in time or transportation for your elderly or guests who may have mobility issues - and don't forget those in heels! Getting you from one place to another may also be challenging. Bigger may not always be better in this case! (Unless you plan for it!)

What does your venue provide? Some venues are bare bones! You'll have to rent everything from chairs, tables, linen, lights, and sometimes heating elements or fans.

Don't get discouraged when it comes to your venue! There's a venue for everyone's needs - sometimes you just have to get creative!

When it comes to live music, you can't go wrong. People love live entertainment and it brings a great deal of pizzazz to your wedding.

Imagine walking in to see a live band welcoming you versus a dj hidden in a corner. It gives your wedding a touch of excitement!

This is not that a DJ cannot create the vibe you are looking for, but make sure that you communicate and hold your dj accountable for the energy you are looking for!

There can be a lot of stress when it comes to working out who to sit where and making sure that nobody feels like they are missing out, but being able to do it in a way that unites the two families can be tricky sometimes.

Seat them with their dates and a group of other mutual friends. They should be seated at the third-best tables in the room: the first is your sweetheart table, the second-best table(s) are for your parents, and the third nearest table(s) are for your wedding party.

It's okay to be confused about the expenses that the wedding party pays for versus what the wedding couple pays for. It is common that things are gifted in different weddings, so the "customs" may seem different each time. Here are some traditional things that wedding parties pay for:

1. Wedding attire - dresses, tuxes, alterations, shoes, and accessories are paid by the individual wedding party member.

2. It is expected for the wedding party to pay for their own travel for any celebration as well as any accommodation for their lodging,

3. A big question revolves around hair and makeup. If it is required by the couple to have thei wedding party to look a ctain way and require it to be professionally done, the wedding couple will cover the cost of the hair and make up expenses. However, since it is a costly expense, bridal parties are sometimes asked to cover their own hair and makeup cost, but if this is the case, most couples will not require a specific look.

4. The bridal shower is typically thrown by the wedding party (though we see parents throwing them at times) when you don't have an engagement party). Items like decorations, favors, games, activities, food, drinks, and a gift would be included in this expense.

5. Bachelor(ette) parties are the celebrations that the wedding party throws. Expenses from this category include traveling to the destinatio, food, drinks, overnight accomoudations, gift, decorations, games, actvities, swag.

Not sure if something is okay? It probably is! Here are some more common trends.

1. 30% of bridemaids and 32% of groomsmen are now buying their own wedding attire.

2. Guests are not expected to come to a wedding lugging gifts anymore. In fact, the fit tables are becoming smaller and smaller because it is more common to have an online gift registry and monetary gift only.

3. The average engagement duration is around 13.5 months. But take as long as you need! Be comfortable with what you want to do with YOUR lives.

Take these tips with you!

1. RATES - Get rates before you get too far with discussions! Know what your budget is and stick to it. When you find out something is completely out of your budget, it's more heartbreaking that you invested so much time explaining the details of your day to someone and need to do that all over with another one. Ask how flexible rates are, and if they won't fit in your budget, it's okay to keep looking! You now have more time to do so!

2. VENDORS DID THE WORK ALREADY - Most vendors should be able to give you a form that they will need filled out. These forms are great tools for you to be preparing for your wedding day details. There may not be a need for you to start a whole excel and powerpoint slide presentation when someone else has already done this 100+ times. Have a vision and share it with your vendors so they can assist with getting you in the right direction!

3. CONSULTATIONS - It is so important to speak to your vendors to understand more about their style of service and experience. Anyone can put words on a picture or word document. Don't be fooled by price lists with words that seem to explain their service to you. Ask for a call to see how well you connect and communicate with your vendor, how they will continue to maintain a working relationship with you after contracting til the wedding day and ask about their experience and thoughts for your big day! Make sure they are right for you!

Take these tips with you!

1. SECOND SHOOTER - Having a second shooter for your wedding is a great plus. Not only are you able to have the second shooter go to your partner's "getting ready site", this can get angles that your first shooter might not be able to get while they're in a whole different position. The biggest tip to great pictures, isn't to overwork one person and have them run to get detail shots of the ballroom and run back to get family pictures and run back to fidn your guests, but to know what's realistic.

2. SIGNATURE DRINKS - While this is a great touch to your wedding day, don't overthink this one! It's been proven time after time that guests will try out the signature drink once or twice but will switch back to their usual after that. Especially if your venue/caterer is making your pay for the option, opt to name a drink that won't require special ingredients to be purchased, it just needs a different name and viola! You have a signature cocktail!

3. DESSERT TABLES - Yes, the trend is going toward mini dessert bites. But we're all about having your traditional cake cutting cake. This piece is a great moment to capture, and we're a sucker for cake toppers that represent you and your partner. It can be two dogs that look like you both. It could be flowers that mean a lot to you, or it could be hilarious figurines that represent the humor between you. Get a smaller cake and get the dessert table you wanted! Or pack the smaller desserts as favors and give them away at the end!
