Flower Girl Florals
If you checked out yesterday’s Real Wedding, then in addition to noticing the dashing couple and fabulous details, you most likely were cooing over the adorable flower girls!
When you determine what florals the flower girl(s) should have on your big day, there are quite a few fabulous options to consider. I love an angelic hair wreath, a darling pomander ball, or a traditional petal basket.
Volanni – Holiday Decor
It was so fun to start off the week yesterday with a dusting of snow on the ground…then, I was lucky enough to stop by the White House to see the beautiful holiday decor!
My favorite tree was one dedicated to County Fairs across the nation…but the fruit themed wreaths were certainly a close runner up…oh, and the replica of the most famous dog in America, Bo, made with approximately 39,000 pipe cleaners twisted into curls to resemble the Portuguese water dog’s coat wasn’t too shabby either…More on that later but today, I have holiday inspiration that is going to blow you away!
I am pleased to share this beautiful holiday decor from Volanni…this is major inspiration!!
Finding a Florist
Today, Bride Blogger Kimberly tells us about how she found a florist that fit her style and comfort level…
Flowers are one of those things I have never been able to live without. I go to the store, I pick up fresh flowers. When I would have a date with a new guy – bringing flowers = bonus points for trying to make a good impression. So I am surprised at my lack of enthusiasm with incorporating flowers into my wedding day.
Here’s how I answered Aimee when we discussed flowers and what I wanted, “I love flowers, but they die – quickly! I really feel like they are a waste of my budget. How few flowers can I get away with having”? Always the consummate professional, she assured me that incorporating flowers into any budget doesn’t have to be expensive. Traditionally, five to ten percent should be spent on flowers and décor for your ceremony and reception. Since that area clearly isn’t a priority, I’ll be staying towards the low end of the range for reception décor.

Yellow Details
Today, our guest blogger Ashley of The Chic Line shares yellow details. What a happy color!
Yellow is a bold and happy color that can be incorporated into weddings at any time of the year. Below are some photos of beautiful yellow details that just exude personality and excitement. A yellow dessert bar looks great with bold black accents, and lemons are the perfect modern centerpiece. Bold bridal accessories look even better when coordinated with the groom.

There are many options for yellow flowers in bouquets, which look so fresh when paired with an abundance of green leaves. And of course, dressing your maids in yellow is the perfect way to tie it all together.
