Red, White And Bloom
#bouquetbreakdown - The Liberty We're Back For Another #bouquetbreakdown And This Bouquet Gives Us All The Patriotic Vibes. From The Deep Reds To The Bright Whites And Pastel Blues This Bouquet Screams America. No Matter The Season This Bouquet Is Always Going To Pop. So Why Do We Loveeeee This Bouquet? Well, We Are Very Patriotic And Very Much Love Our Country But We Also Love The Bright Colors. It Is Not Often We Get To Use Such Bold Colors In Wedding Work. When Our Bride, Sarah, Was Needing A Color Palette Redesign We Were Ecstatic To Offer The Red, White, And Bloom Palette. She Surprised Her Now-husband With The Flowers And He Loved Them So Much He Had Them Preserved For Her After Their Intimate Wedding. So Let's Break It Down! We Have Categorized The Blooms By Color This Time And We're Starting Off With That Bold Pop Of Red! Red Spray Roses: These Bright Red Spray Roses Were The Main Blooms For Our Pop Of Red. Spray Roses Are A Great All-purpose Flower And Just Like Ranunculus Come In A Rainbow Of Colors. Spray Roses Are Available Year-round And We Give Them A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Red Mini Gerbera Daisies: These Red Mini Gerbera Daisies Were Our Supporting Actress In The Red Category. They Have A Very Different Bloom Structure Than The Red Spray Roses And Therefore Gave A Nice Definition To The Red Category In Our Color Palette. Mini Gerbera Daisies Are Available Year-round And We Give Them A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Red Astible: We Love Using This Fluffy Red Astible In Bouquets. We Find That Adding In Even The Smallest Amount Gives The Bouquet So Much More Dimension. Astible Is A Line Flower Which Means It Blooms Vertically Instead Of In One Round Ball. Some Of Our Other Favorite Line Flowers In Delphinium, Stock, Veronica, Liatris, And Snapdragons. Astible Is Available Year-round And Come In A Variety Of Colors From White, Blush, Pink, Red, And Burgundy. We Give Astible A $$$ Our Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. White Anemones: Anemones Are Another Unique Blooming Flower. They Don't Have Any Great Dupes Which Makes Them Highly Sought After. Their Dark Black Centers Can Throw Off A Navy Tone In Some Varieties. Anemones Are Also Available In A Wide Variety Of Colors Such As White, Red, Blue, Purple, Pink And Even A Beautiful Burgundy Wine Color. They Are A Very Delicate Flower With Tissue Paper-thin Petals. They Are Often Placed Last Into A Bouquet. Anemones Are Available Year-round And Much Like Ranunculus We Give Them $$$$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. White Lysimachia: A New Face To The Bouquet Breakdown! Lysimachia Is A Fun New Mini Line Flower. We Love It Because Each Individual Bloom Is Star-shaped. We Know, We Know A Little Cliché For The Red, White, And Bloom Pallet But We Couldn't Help Ourselves. These Blooms Very Much Remind Us Of A More Plump Veronica. Lysimachia Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. White Stock: Stock Is A Fairly Fragrant Flower That Reminds Us Of A Spice Smell, Almost Clove-like. They Are Made Up Of Little Clusters Of Ruffled Petals That Grow Upwards Towards A Small Spiked Top. They Can Be Purchased Year-round And Come In A Huge Variety Of Colors. We Give Stock A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Blue Thistle: Blue Thistle Another Bouquet Breakdown Classic. When You're Thinking You Still Need Something Blue For Your Day, This Is Almost Always Our Go-to. Thistle Comes In A Variety Of Colors And Some Of Our Other Favorite Colors Include Green, White Glitter, And Purple. Blue Thistle Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Blue Delphinium: Another New Face To Our Bouquet Breakdowns. Delphiniums Are A Wonderful Flower To Add A Pop Of Blue. There Are Very Few Naturally True Blue Flowers And Delphinium Is One Of The Best In Our Opinion. They Can Range From Light To Dark Blue And Come In Both A Regular And Hybrid Form. For This Bouquet, We Chose The Standard Form To Give The Bouquet A Lighter More Whimsical Vibe. The Hybrid Version Is Often Much Larger With Thick Stems And Near 100 Individual Blooms. Delphinium Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$-$$$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Dusty Miller: This Fun Pop Of Bright Silver Foliage Is A Great Addition To Any Bouquet. The Soft Silvery Leaves Help Bring Out The Light And Bright Silver Tone Of The Eucalyptus. It Is Typically Grown As An Annual In Our Area And Not Many People Think To Add It To Their Bouquet. One Thing To Note About Dusty Miller Is That It Is A Very Water Thirsty Foliage. It Can Often Wilt In The Hot Summer So It Needs To Be Tucked Into Bouquets And Supported By Other Greenery And Blooms. Dusty Miller Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Willow Eucalyptus: Willow Eucalyptus Has Long Beautiful Wispy Leaves. While It Is Not Super Aromatic Like The Baby Blue Eucalyptus It Does Have A Nice Hint Of Eucalyptus Scent. It Is A Wonderful Greenery For Cascading Bouquets As It Has A Nature Drape And Incredible Movement. Willow Eucalyptus Is Available Year-round And Most Often February Through May Can Be Found To Have Seed Pods Like The Seeded Eucalyptus. We Give It A $$$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Seeded Eucalyptus: Like We've Said Before It Hasn't *quite* Outran It's Cousin Silver Dollar Eucapytus But It Is Getting There! We Find The Seeds Give An Amazing Texture To Any Bouquet But Fit Best With Cascading Summer Bouquets Or Fall Weddings. Seeded Eucalyptus Can Be Found Year-round For The Most Part. It Does Go Off Crop In The Early Spring And Some Parts Of The Year Can Have Cupped Seeded Instead Of The Desired Green Seed Pods. We Give Seeded Eucalyptus A $$$ Out Of $$$$$ Rating On Our Expensive Scale. Italian Ruscus: This Greenery Is Great For Adding Height, Weight, And Even Length To A Bouquet. The Deep Green Leaves Are Often A Great Contrast To The Silvery Eucalyptus. The Way The Leaves Are Positioned On The Stems Gives This Greenery A Lighter More Airy Look. It Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Would You Consider The Red, White, And Bloom Palette For Your Wedding?! We Hope So!

10 Reasons Why You Need A Wedding Planner
We Can Think Of Tons Of Reasons Why Couples Should Hire A Professional Wedding Planner, But Here Are Our Top Ten.1. Having A Professional Problem Solver On Hand Helps You Enjoy Your Day What Happens If The Rental Company Forgets The Napkins, Or If The Amount Of Specialty Chairs Is Not Correct At The Time Of Delivery, Or If The Strap On A Bridesmaids Dress Falls Off, Or If The Wrong Flowers Are Delivered? We’ve Got You. 2. We, Will, Refer “tried And True” Wedding Pros Who Are Best Suited To Your Budget, Theme And Personalities A Successful Wedding Is Built With A Great Team Who Listen, Respect And Execute What They Are Supposed To. They Know How To Play Nicely, And Go Above And Beyond For Their Clients…you. We Have Worked With A Lot Of Wedding Pros Over The Years, And Feel That We Can Make Suggestions That Ensure The Team Referred By Us Will Have Your Best Interests At Heart. We Will Negotiate And Communicate With The Wedding Team Leading Up To, And On The Wedding Day. 3. We Will Help Keep You Organized It’s Kind Of Our Thing, And Truly One Of The Things That We Do Best. We Create A Personalized Monthly Checklist Just For You. Each Month You Will Have New Tasks To Dive Into. This Helps Keep The Feeling Of Overwhelm At Bay. We Will Remind You When Payments Are Due, And When Things Need To Be Ordered Or Purchased, Etc. 4. Timeline Creation And Execution Wedding Planners Need A Timeline For The Day’s Events, But We Also Need A Specific Production Schedule For The Flow Of The Day And Knowing Who Is Responsible For What And When. We Need To Know Where And When Vendors Are Supposed To Load In/out, What Needs To Be Set Up Where And How Long Everyone Has To Do It, When The Ceremony Begins, Ensuring Power Outlets Are Nearby If Needed, Ensuring The Musicians, Or Dj, Are Out Of The Sun For Their Equipment And In Case Of Sunstroke, Knowing When You Are Supposed To Walk Down The Aisle, The Proper Order Of The Wedding Party For The Processional/recessional, Ensuring There Is A Pen For The Registrar Signing, Making Sure Someone Takes The Take Away Portion Of The Marriage License, Setting Up Seating Cards, Lighting Candle Votives, Folding Napkins, Putting Out The Menus, Etc.). We Will Communicate This Schedule With Everyone Who Is A Part Of The Professional Wedding Team. Your Wedding Timeline Needs To Have Some Room For Error And Some Flexibility For Circumstances Beyond Our Control. If Something Does Get Off Schedule, We Will Determine Where To Switch Things Up To The Best Of Our Ability, Hopefully Without Any Of Your Guests Noticing. 5. Budget Everyone Has One No Matter What The Numbers Are. We Will Help Guide You, And Ensure That You Are Making Informed Decisions When Increasing, Or Taking Items Out Of Your Overall Budget. While We Cannot Make The Final Decision For You, We Will Let You Know If You Are Going Way Out Of Your Comfort Zone And Remind You Of Where It’s At. 6. Ceremony Direction (if Not At A Place Of Worship) If The Ceremony Will Not Be Taking Place At A Church Than Chances Are, We Will Be Leading The Rehearsal. Where Will Everyone Stand? Who Has The Rings? Who Goes Down The Aisle First For The Processional And Recessional? What Side Should The Bride Stand On? Who’s Cueing The Wedding Party? 7. Wedding Day Items Do You Really Want Your Family Or Friends Running Around On The Wedding Day Setting Up The Seating Cards, Menus, Guest Signing Book, Checking That The Linens And Glassware Are Stain-free? Who’s Ensuring That The Chairs Are Lined Up, Votives Are Lit For The Guests’ Arrival, And Catering Staff Are Reminded Who Is Sitting Where For Allergies And Food Restrictions? A Last-minute High Chair Is Needed? Hmmm…see Where I Am Going With This? 8. “helpful” Family & Friends Are Causing Tension And Unnecessary Stress Move Over And Let A Professional Handle Things From Here On Out. 99% Of The Time, Those Helpful Family & Friends Only Have Your Best Interests In Mind. However, Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen Is A Recipe For Disaster. We Can Help Alleviate The Emotional Drama That Comes Along With Planning A Wedding, As We Are Not Involved In The Family Drama And Emotional Decisions, As We Do This As A Career. We Can Offer Solutions And Suggestions That Will Benefit Everyone Involved, And Help Get Things Back On Track Before Relationships Are Forever Changed. We Don’t Mind Being The Bad Guy And Taking Charge When Needed/wanted By You And Your Partner. After All, This Wedding Is For You And Ultimately That’s Who Gets To Make The Final Decisions, Right? 9. Removing A Tip Jar From The Bar Oh, Yes, We Went There. We See The Contracts. We Know That The Staff Are Already Paid Gratuity. It Is Not The Guests’ Job To Be Paying The Bartenders. This Is A Wedding, Not A Corporate Event. 10. We Keep Speeches And The Timeline On Track Speeches, Oh Speeches, They Can Be The Best Or The Worst Part Of A Wedding Reception. We Recommend Keeping The Speeches 3-5 Minutes Each. P.s. Parents Don’t Count For Speech Time Patrol. You Are Their Babies. P.p. S. We Strongly Advise Against Having An Open Mike As This Almost Never Goes Over Well. 11. Also, All Vendors Have A Copy Of The Timeline And Have Acknowledged That It Has Been Reviewed The Week Before The Wedding. As Much As We Prepare, There Will Always Be Things That Go Awry, But We Will Try Our Best To Get It Back On Track Or Shuffle Things Around Seamlessly, So No One Is The Wiser. Oh, No! We Had To Make 11.12. Help You To Go Pee In Your Wedding Dress (because Now The Bridesmaids Are On The Dance Floor Enjoying Their Evening). Oops! That Was 12. #stuffjustgotreal

Why Premarital Counseling Can Be The Best (and Least Expensive!) Part Of Planning Your Wedding
I Certainly Do Not Consider Myself To Be A Numbers Person; That Is My Husband’s Domain As A Financial Advisor And The “cfo” Of Our Family. However, After Talking To Several Of My Couples About Their Wedding, And Commiserating About How Expensive It Is To Have A Wedding These Days, I Became Curious About The Numbers. Just How Much Does It Cost To Celebrate This Special Day With Friends And Family? And If You Are Spending All Of That Money, Is It Worth Adding Yet Another Cost (premarital Counseling) To The Bill? The National Average Cost Of A Wedding In 2019, According To The Knot, Was $33,900*. The Cost Of Premarital Counseling Is $550. If My Math Is Correct (believe Me, I Had To Check It More Than Once!), That Means That The Cost Of Premarital Counseling Is 1.62% Of Your Total Wedding Cost. now Bear In Mind, This Is An Average; I Am Using This Number For Illustrative Purposes Only. There Are Plenty Of Creative Couples Who Can Have A Wedding For A Third Of The Cost (and Instead Spend 4.8% Of Their Wedding Cost On Premarital Counseling). My Message Is This: You Are Spending Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars For One Day, Making Sure You Have A Gorgeous Dress, Beautiful Flowers, Delicious Food, And Dance-worthy Music For A Successful Wedding Day, But How Much Are You Spending To Ensure That You Are Prepared For A Lifetime Of Relationship Success? What Happens When The Music Stops, The Drinks Stop Flowing, Everyone Goes Home, And You Wake Up The Next Day As Mr. And Mrs.? Have You Established A Strong Foundation That Will Support You Through The Inevitable Challenges And Difficulties That Will Come With Marriage? Are Your Values Truly Aligned?many People Are Hesitant To Seek Out Premarital Counseling For Fear That It Means “something Is Wrong With Their Relationship” (one Of The 4 Myths Of Premarital Counseling). Premarital Counseling Is Not The Same As Couples Therapy; It Is A Proactive Way To Determine Your Strengths And Growth Areas As A Couple. It Is A Chance To Spend Some Quality, Dedicated Time With Each Other And A Neutral Third Party, Someone Whose Goal It Is To Set You Up For Marriage Success And Provide You With Skills And Tools To Navigate Potential Challenges. It Is, In Short, One Of The Best (and Least Expensive!) Investments You Can Make In Your Relationship.if You Are Interested In Learning More, Please Click Here For Information About Prepare/enrich, Or Contact Me To Set Up Your Free 30-minute Introductory Session!

8 Great Insider Secrets To Help You Plan The Perfect Dream Destination Wedding.
Author Catrina Reese There Is Absolutely Nothing More Special Than Getting Married On The Sand Someplace Tropical And Romantic. As Beautiful And Exquisite As These Locations Are; It Takes A Lot Of Work Planning A Destination Wedding. There’s Much More To Take Into Account Than The Perfect Venue Itself; Which Definitely Is The Main Item On The List Of Priorities. Timing Of Your Ceremony, Weather At The Location, And Your Guests’ Availability To Travel Are All Major Concerns Every Couple Planning A Destination Wedding Needs To Consider. So, Check Out These 8 Great Insider Secrets When Planning A Memorable Getaway For You And Your Guests. These Tips Can Help You Pull Off A Destination Wedding To Remember. 1. Pick The Perfect Spot Your Wedding Location Determines Not Only The Mood, But Also The Travel, Time And Budget Required To Pull It Off. Your Wedding Elements—which Include Location, Activities And Overall Ambiance—should Say Something About Your Shared Style And Passions. And What Makes A Wedding Memorable Is When Your Guests Head Back Home From Your Wedding Weekend Saying, That Was So Them! If Your First Vacation Was Somewhere Tropical? Invite Friends And Family To A Resort In Mexico, The Caribbean Or Hawaii. 2. Time It Right Unfortunately, The Best Weather In Popular Vacation Destinations Tends To Correlate With Tourist Season, When There Are Typically More Crowds, Fewer Hotel And Venue Availabilities, And Higher Rates All Around. If You’re Planning A Destination Wedding During This Peak Time, Book Your Venue And Reserve Your Room As Soon As Possible. If You Opt For The Off-season, You May Be Able To Save Yourself And Your Guests Some Money And Still Enjoy Great Weather. While The Off-season Will Mean Fewer Crowds, The Weather Can Be A Gamble, So Consider The Caribbean’s Hurricane Season. Some Places You May Consider Many Have Their Stores, Venues And Vendors Close Up Shop. 3. Give Everyone A Heads-up I Hear A Lot Of Brides Say “i Have Been Planning For This Day Since I Was A Kid” And The People They Desire To Be In Their Bridal Party Are Special Family And Friends. So, When You Are Planning A Destination Wedding Before You Ask Them To Stand By Your Side, Let Them Know So They Can Gracefully Decline If Their Finances Are Tight. And It’s A Good Idea To Give The Rest Of Your Guest List Plenty Of Notice So They Can Begin To Plan And Get The Best Deals On Flights And Make Appropriate Arrangements To Be There As Well. Send Out Save-the-dates At Least Eight Months In Advance So You Will Not Be Too Upset If Some Of Your Closest Friends Or Relatives Don't Attend. While You Are, In A Sense Footing Some Of The Food Bills, Their Fees For Travel, Hotel And Extras Can Really Add Up. 4. Make Guests Feel Welcome & Dress The Part Your Friends And Family Are Eager To Celebrate With You, So Create A Wedding Website That Will Make It Easy For Them To Find All The Necessary Details In One Place—like Group Rates For Flights And Hotel Rooms—how To Get To And From The Airport, A List Of Nearby Activities They May Want To Do On Their Own And An Itinerary Of The Weekend’s Events, Like The Rehearsal Or Welcome Dinner. And Upon Arrival, Make Sure Welcome Bags Are In Their Rooms; Like Sunscreen, Water And Bug Spray. Don't Forget To Consider The Climate When Choosing Your Wedding Attire—and The Dress Code For Each Of Your Events. You'll Be Swimming In Sweat If You Pair Your Satin Ball Gown Or Wool Suit With The Humidity That Comes With A Tropical Outdoor Venue, And It’s Considerate To Give Guests A Heads-up On Appropriate Attire And Footwear If You’ll Be Exchanging Vows On The Sand. 5. Factor In The Extra Expenses If Done And Planned Right, A Destination Wedding Can Cost No More Or Maybe Even Less—than Hosting The Same Party At Home (depending On Where You Live, Of Course). For Example, If You Live In A Us Metropolitan City Where Venues Are In High Demand Then Holding Your Wedding In Mexico Will Likely Be Less Expensive Than Doing It At Home, Even When You Total In Airfare, Hotel Expenses And Local Excursions. Still, There May Be Extra Expenses You'll Need To Factor In For Any Destination Wedding, Including Welcome Bags For Guests And Travel Costs For You And Your Immediate Families. So, Make A Budget That’s Realistic And Factors In All Of These Extra Costs. 6. Research Local Marriage Requirements The Legal Side Of Tying The Knot In A Different Country Can Be Complicated And Should Be Researched. Many Countries Have A Residency Requirement (for Example, 24 Hours In Turks And Caicos) Which Means You Must Reside In The Country For A Certain Length Of Time Before Your Ceremony. Although This Is Usually Just A Few Days, It Can Be Longer. If It's Next To Impossible To Do It At Your Chosen Destination And Have It Legally Recognized, Consider Making It Official (by Government Standards) Before You Travel. That Way Your Wedding Day Will Be In Front Of Your Guests, But There's No Doubt It's The Real Deal. 7. Get Help Control Freaks, Beware: If You're Hosting A Wedding In A Distant Locale, You Will Need To Entrust At Least Part Of The Planning To Someone Else's Capable Hands. You Can Get A Coordinator To Be Your Behind-the-scenes Go-to Person To Assist With The Local Destination If Creating Gift Bags For Guests, Greeting Everyone At The Airport, Keeping People Busy With Fun Activities Once There, Vetting Special Requests (babysitters, Dry Cleaners, And So On), And Getting Everyone Where They Need To Be On Time. 8. Consider The Elements It's Essential To Think Of The Unexpected When Planning A Destination Wedding. Talk With Your Planner Or Venue About Lighting: If Your Reception Takes Place Outdoors, You'll Need Backup For When The Sun Goes Down And For Safety Too. Stringing Market Lights Or Adding A Romantic Vibe With Hundreds Of Candles Are Great. And Even Through Crashing Waves Are Peaceful And Romantic, Your Guests Want To Hear Your Vows. So, Consider Lapel Mics, And Make Sure That The Dj Or Band Has Enough Equipment And Power To Entertain All Night As Well. Besides That, Think About What Else You Can Provide To Make It A Better Experience For Your Guests, Like Flip-flops For Your Oceanfront Ceremony Or Umbrellas In The Event Of A Late Afternoon Drizzle.
