Secret Garden

As you remember, I chose flowers as one of my DIY projects.  You can read about that here.  So I've gone back through my photos from the wedding to give you a bit more insight into my flowers.  I used silver colored chalices for the larger pieces and julep cups in the same color for the smaller ones.  I got both of these here. I also chose a 24" clear glass pilsner vase for the head table.  I stuffed the base of this with a few sheets of crumpled up iridescent foil, which I picked up at Michaels.  Included in this order as well was a case of Aquafoam blocks.  I cut them in half for the chalices and they fit rather snugly.

The large pieces then, consisted of red, pink and purple roses, eggplant calla lilies, Purple Hydrangea, Purple Carnations and Red Garden Roses.  I think I did a pretty decent job choosing the color palate, if I do say so myself.  My bouquet consisted of all of the above sans the Purple Hydrangea and Purple Carnation.

The silver pillars on the table came from ZGallerie (I love them!), as do the silver spheres.  The silver trays that they are sitting on my mom picked up at a party store I think.  I ordered a case of off-white UNSCENTED pillar candles, assuming that vanilla bean times twelve would be rather nauseating while you try to enjoy your dinner.

I used bouquet jewelry from Cristalier.  I also used extras on the girls' corsages.  There is platinum ribbon wrapped around the handle of my bouquet and secured with boutonniere pins.

Overall, the flowers turned out great and I got lots of positive comments on the tablescapes, including an offer to assist with a future floral business...ha, ha.  Looking back, doing my own flowers created a very special memory for me.  I wouldn't have it any other way.

Kiddie Kapers



Having little ones join you for your wedding is one of the biggest quandaries for brides.  Inviting children to the reception can be tricky, especially when you want the parents to feel free to party.  Adults only receptions can seem rude to guests, who consider it an exclusion of part of their family.  What to do?

Just Play PA from Enola has come up with an ingenious solution.  Throw a mini party for the kids!  With a wide variety of party themes, caregivers from Just Play PA will safely entertain your little ones for the duration of your wedding reception, so Mom and Dad can party too!  Matching armbands are presented to the parents and the child, so your guests can be sure their little ones are safe.  Parents need only provide diapers for those who need them, the rest of the fun is supplied by Just Play staff.

One less thing to worry about as the bride, the party for the kids is planned beginning to end by Just Play.  I just wish I had thought of this fantastic idea.
