Im helping a friend of mine (who is a florist for weddings & special events in San Diego, Ca) with her advertising and we are trying to figure out the best place to allocate advertising dollars. Anyone know the best, most effective places to get her name out there?
Has the bride’s name always come first on personalized wedding napkins, glasses, etc.?

I have noticed that on personalized wedding napkins, champagne glasses, etc., the bride’s name almost always comes first. Does anyone know how long this has been traditional? Was it this way in the 1950′s, 1920′s, 1800′s, etc.? Or is it something that has come into effect in the last several decades?
Is there any future brides who would want an all inclusive wedding package?

I just had a wedding and it was so expensive. So I did all of the flowers for the wedding. Then my sister in law wanted me to make her flowers when her and my brother got married. So I made that then she needed us to take pictures. So I took like 500 pictures that are amazing. If I started a business offering brides this package below would it be a good idea? why or why not?

Why are people so harsh to brides who want to wear a black wedding dress? Not a goth dress, a cocktail dress.?
04

Everyone whines that it’s tradition to wear white, in the Victorian era brides wore their best dress, black, pink, blue, red, white was not a common choice. White was only worn after Queen Elizabeth wore a white dress to her wedding. It was a trend the queen set, if she had worn silver then everyone would wear silver to immitate her. Puffy white dresses are not for eveyone, some brides have style and want to wear a black cocktail dress to have a chic wedding. Cookie cutter weddings are boring and so are all the identical puffy a-line strapless dresses everyone wears. There is nothing wrong with a black wedding dress, it’s a choice based on personal taste. Why does everyone assume if you wear black you are a goth or going to a funeral, black is a powerful color that’s why professionals have closets fully stocked with black suits.
Ok it was Queen Victoria in 1840 not Queen Elizabeth, simple error.
Wedding Flower Dilemma! Florists or Brides Help Please!?
22
May
My husband & I are finally planning our big wedding since our JOP wedding in December (100 ppl this time around). My only dilemma is the flowers, I just don’t know how to go about them. My favorite flower is a white calla lily, but from what I’ve learned they are a tropical flower & are quite expensive. How much do you think a single bouquet would be?
Also, I love purple orchids, I wanted to incorporate those in as well. My colors are purple white and silver. What could I do for the brides maids (6 of them) that won’t completely take up my whole budget? Open to lots of ideas 
My wedding is Fall 2011
& I really like the ideas so far.
What wholesale place can I get those flowers? Good friend of mine can put together bouquets, she is amazing. But I just have to get the flowers. My budget is 10 thousand.
What is your best advice for other brides planning a wedding?

Whether you are in the midst of wedding planning now, or were happily wedded years ago, what tips, ideas or advice can you share with other brides? What do you wish you had done differently, or what are you glad you did? What unique, personal touches did you include in your own wedding? Do you have any cool ideas on: party favors, wedding party gifts, bridesmaids attire, invitations/programs, child attendants, showers/bachelor(ette) parties, the ceremony/vows/etc, wedding cake, photography/videography, the honeymoon? (These are just ‘prompts’ to spark your memory – you don’t have to answer them all!!) I am finishing my wedding planner/workbook and would like to include tips from real-life brides. Your input and ideas would be a huge help!!
Does the bride’s bouquet have to match the “colors” for the bridesmaids and wedding scheme?

My fiance and I were planning to get married in Jamaica, so I worked very hard with a floral designer to create the perfect artificial bouquet for our tropical, summer wedding. It cost $150 (which for us right now is more than I wanted to spend). Well now we had some very last-minute changes to our plans, and we’re now having a wedding at my dad’s house. I decided to go with the colors I’d been wanting for many years – dark purple and sage green. My bridesmaids’ dresses are dark purple. Our wedding will be in an outdoor tent, with an indoor/outdoor reception this May. However, I can’t afford to replace my bouquet, and it is fuschia, bright purple, bright orange, and bright green. Will it look completely ridiculous? I’ve been to several weddings where the bride’s bouquet didn’t match the wedding colors, but this is so bright and the other colors are darker. What should I do?!

Other cultures wear red and other colors, so why do most American weddings have white gowns for the bride?
Is it o.k to have black brides maid dresses for an evening wedding?

My favorite colors together are black and white. I love elegance and plan to have an evening wedding. My dress would be white with a black sash, flowers to be red roses so would black bm dresses be to dull or look like a funeral?
What color should bridesmaids’ bouquets be to compliment apple red dresses and bride’s bouquet?
20

We are trying to figure out what color the bridesmaids bouquets should be for a Spring wedding. The bride’s bouquet will be red and white roses exclusively. She does not want the bridesmaids to have roses because of the cost. The bridesmaids dresses are Apple red. Does anyone have any suggestions on colors and/or types of flowers that compliment the bride’s rose bouquet? BTW, the decor for the reception is red and white with artificial flowers. Please help.
How is it going Brides!?

So my wedding is August 25. Medium sized, in my nice and large back yard, with around 110 guests. Heres the funny thing! My fiance asked me at the beginning of July, after being together three years, we wanted to be married as fast as possible. So we had such a time crunch. I am just so excited though. We have the catering done, the decorations and tables done, the cake done, my dress is getting altered, the dads and best man need to go get their tuxes, but they are ready for them to pick up, flowers done, I need to get my MOH dress and that is about it. My wedding is outside, like I said, and I am not renting tents. I am a little worried about the weather, but so far no rain this month, and it is nice and warm. Plus it is at five to 8 so it will cool off. Have you had an out side wedding with no tents? How did it go?
Also, how is everything going with you brides? Is everything coming along? We are so excited! But now that all the wedding is almost planned, we are now planning our honey moon. Wont be til october, we are going to Australia. Just looking for cheap plane tickets!
God bless ladies!
Aw that is awesome hun! I know, luckily, during the time my fiance proposed, I was already toning up from the previous months, lost ten pounds! W00t W00t! Haha, only problem, I havent worked out my bottom tummy, so my abs are sculpting on top not botton, but atleast its all flat!
haha, my dress is strapless, and I have maximum tan lines on my arms! How do I tan evenly? I will have to go to a bed, the sun doesnt work on me unless I am out ALLLL DAAAYYY LOONNNGG. I never tan in beds, so I think I will be fine just a couple of times.
I know exactly how all of you feel! Goodness, It is good to talk about the wedding with some girls huh? All my friends are like uhhh yea? I am like ” Oh wedding, wedding, honey moon, wedding, dress, cake, wedding” Lol.
We have looked and looked for a venue place, everything is booked that day! Every where close at least! My brother is a Marine and will be in town that day as well so we really want him to be their. Just pray for me girls!

This is a semi-formal wedding.
Well, I did wear the pretty, black. dress and got many, many compliments (both mken and women). Even the Mother of the bride wore a black dress. I would say it is a “do”. Thanks
