#FloralFriday :: What Flowers Do We Need For Our Wedding?

Brides carrying flowers on wedding day is a tradition dating back to Ancient Rome. Brides carried or wore floral garlands because they believed that flowers signified new beginnings, fertility, warded off evil spirits.... and to be honest, they just helped to cover up body odor and make everything smell more pleasant. :)

In current times, there are several places that flowers are used and welcomed at weddings. Here is a list of possibilities you might want to consider when deciding what flowers you want and/or need to have for your wedding day:

#FloralFriday :: Feather Accents in your Florals

I'm a huge fan of feathers! So many colors, so many styles, so many sizes, and they all add an element of whimsy to any arrangement! I used them in my own wedding, and ever since then I've been in love with them! They make great accents for centerpieces, bouquets, alter arrangements and other table arrangements. Check out some of the ways we've used them in the past!

Want something a bit less expensive than feathers? Depending what you want them to look like, you can try tree fern! It can be spray painted any color, you can add glitter, and when it's added to arrangements it can give the look of feathers!
