Revenge of the Carnation

            Carnations have been given a bad reputation over the last few years. I always classified them as the Wal-Mart of flowers. There was no rhyme or reason for my prejudice except that I always heard they were the cheap flowers. I’m not sure why that made a difference to me since my whole shopping life has been built around finding the cheapest deal!

            I wanted to write a piece on centerpieces but after researching (ahem, pinterest), I couldn’t help but notice all the beautiful carnation arraignments. So I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to show another way to save money- go with carnations! Whether they’re splashed between roses or set apart to shine on their own, carnations are making a stunning comeback.

            

All in the details

Brides are always wondering what they can do to make their wedding stand out. Summer is the definite wedding season. If you’re life is anything like mine, sometimes it seems like there’s a wedding every other weekend.

If you’re one of those weddings, you want to make sure your guests remember more than just a blur of wedding excitement. Make your wedding the wedding that they think of after the blur has passed.

The question is how. There are so many aspects of a wedding that stay the same couple to couple. There are almost always flowers, dresses, bridesmaids, groomsmen, candles-you get the picture. So it makes sense that the other details are what are going to make the biggest difference between your wedding and everyone else’s that year.

This is your chance to show your personality. Set of sparklers, have a photo booth, choreograph a song for your wedding party during the reception. There are so many ways to make your wedding your own the list would take all day.
