with you for touch ups. 8) Coordinate flowers with the season you are married in. They are less expensive and look nicer. 9) Maximize your floral budget with large stemmed flowers like Green Goddess Calla Lilies and curly willow twigs. 10) Unusual flower vessels can add personality to any event. Try flea markets and second hand stores for vintage vases or tins from imported tomatoes and fruits. 11) Bring color samples of fabric from a bridesmaid dress (or if you can’t get any fabric, get a piece of ribbon that is the same color) and pictures from magazines of arrangements you like, so the florist can get an idea of your style and get the color right. 12) Ask your florist to make you up samples of what you will be getting and check them at least two weeks before your wedding. If you are unhappy with anything, you still have time to correct it. 13) It’s never a bad idea to taste a sample of your cake before you order it. And think about the color you want the cake in - red is very hard to get out of your gown after he
has smashed some of it in your face! 14) Colored linens are often available to rent and can make a huge impact on the look of your reception. Check the prices of more than one rental store as prices vary. 15) To make your cake budget stretch, order a small customized, tiered cake and then serve decorated sheet cake to guests. (Be sure to plate the sheet cake behind closed doors.) Or you can order a couple of “fake” layers with one or two real cakes mixed in; but remember not to cut into the fake layers when you are cutting the cake together. 16) Start putting together your playlist now. Keep a working list going, and after a few months you’ll have a selection of music that truly reflects your personalities. 17) Always order 15-25 extra invitations so that you are covered. Ordering extra invitations will cost a lot more in the long run when extra guests pop up as your big day approaches. It seems like you always run into people you forgot to have on your list but want to be there! 18) To get your best and most natural photographs, forget the photographer is there!
19) For the added sparkle, have your jewelry (especially the ring) cleaned before your big day. 20) Do a trial run, or even two, with your hair before the wedding. Then take pictures from different angles to insure you get the right look on the right day. 21) If you color your hair, make sure to do it a week in advance to allow time for any accidents that may happen. Another good reason to have your hair colored is that your hair will have extra body and lots of shine on your wedding day! 22) Give your gown to your mom or someone else who you can count on, and ask her to take it in to be cleaned while you are on your honeymoon. The least amount of time that the dirt, perspiration and food (think wedding cake) stay in your gown the more likely they will come out. 23) Remember to relax and enjoy the day. Little things may not all go as planned, but keep your heart and mind focused on what is really the most important part of the day-your ceremony! You won’t remember any of the problems if you focus on that special guy you just married!”

history all the way back to Ancient Egypt where Egyptians would present their bridesto-be with circlets of hemp or rush. However, the meaning is traced back to Anglo Saxon history where giving a ring became a token of promised love. The shape of the circular band ended up becoming a symbol for eternal love and unity. The diamond, because of its strength, is the symbol of never-ending love. White is commonly equated with purity. As a result, it

became a symbol of a bride’s worthiness. Because a marriage is a union between two families, it was essential that the bride be an honor to them both and purity was valued higher than anything. As a result, the wedding dress became to represent the purity that the bride was supposed to have. In addition, a white wedding gown was believed to ward off ill luck and evil spirits. This superstitious belief gave rise to traditions as a bride should never make her

own wedding dress. The kiss at the end of a wedding ceremony in ancient times was seen as legally binding and the acceptance of both parties of the contract of marriage. It was said that the newlywed couple would exchange a bit our their souls with that kiss. Marriage is a wonderful thing with many interesting traditions. May love find each person this month, and for all the rest of the months to follow.
