Tips on choosing floral arrangements for your wedding

mye — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 01:20:25 +0000

Imagine a wedding ceremony without flowers. It would be dark, drab and devoid of gaiety. Flowers undeniably add flavor and uplift the spirits of everyone present at the wedding. They help set the mood for the exchange of “I do’s”. If you’re an upcoming bride about to pull your hair out because of the stressful hassles of preparing for your wedding day, don’t do that just yet. Here are some helpful tips on choosing flowers for your big day:

The classic wedding flowers you could choose from are peony, roses, lily of the valley, orchids and calla lily. You don’t necessarily have to include them all in your floral arrangement, though.

Color is a huge point to consider when choosing flowers for your wedding. It should naturally complement your wedding motif.

Have a budget. You wouldn’t want to splurge on flowers, only to end up with a plate of biscuits to serve your wedding guests! If money is a problem, “less is more” is the operative phrase here. Even if you have only a few floral arrangements, you can position them around the room, to make it appear as if you have more than you actually do. You can also mix some cheap flowers with the more expensive ones.

Get some help. Enlist the professional expertise of a trusted florist. If you opt to churn out your own ideas, you can get tips from bridal magazines, or the various EZBloomers.com floral arrangements available online. From simple to elaborate, you are sure to find something to suit your personality.

OSS: June Sketch Challenge

For One Single Seed, their June Sketch Challenge is also out. And it was provided by Donna, way to go girl! I love your sketch so much I can’t wait but do it at once. And while I am on sick leave (yes, I am sick since Saturday), I indulged myself creating a few layout I can post and upload. And OSS June sketch is one. I had fun doing the challenge because I have a couple of new pictures so here it is:

Full Credits HERE.

I used the photos taken during our Family Outing at Lake Villa. My mom and dad was reminiscing the day I got married and so we decided to go over at the resort where my wedding reception took place and it was Lake Villa resort. Our wedding in 2004 was a blast (at least for me and my family). My husband and I personally took care of everything and even on the day before our wedding, I am still preparing the tiniest details for the reception. It was, however, my mistake. I did not understand the concept of hiring wedding coordinators before. I thought they were just additional expenses but I was wrong. I got sick 2 days before the wedding and I have 39degrees fever while I was marching down the aisle. But still, I was able to manage. I walked down the aisle crying and still went to the reception as if nothing is happening inside of me. Here are some pics:

The same pool that the kids enjoyed swimming in was the pool we used to setup the stage. It was hard for the carpenters who did it but it was well worth it.

Tinee’s Bridal Shower Party

I am getting so forgetful. I have totally forgotten to blog about Tinee’s shower! Friend, here it is now, I am very sorry for the long delay.

Actually, the shower was held last November, a couple of days before their Big day. That day became more like a reunion for all of us. The bride, was our good friend and officemate before she left for Singapore to pursue her career. It was sad she left the company but we were very happy for her because she’ll be able to fulfill her dreams. She is now successfully working and presently living in Singapore. That is why, this became more like a gathering than a shower.

The party was hosted by the bride’s best friend and maid of honor. Well, I can’t go into the detail of what happpened during the night but we surely all had fun! Drinks, food and party games are all over the venue.

When we are about to give the bride some tips and advice about married life, parenting and the like – we all suddenly became serious. For all we know, getting married is not simple and we all have to be prepared for it.

We also prepared some nice gifts for the bride. Other guests gave her books and mementos. Well, we’ve prepared a sexy lingerie for her! She’s not getting any younger and we hope for her to have kids soon!

To my good friend, congratulations to you. I have posted about your wedding already but the shower party was delayed. Well, it is still always better late than never, right?

Dorado – Del Rosario Nuptials

noreply@blogger.com (mye) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 04:48:00 +0000

Finally, RD and Tinee got married. After 5 years (i hope my recollection is correct) of being together, they solemnly exchanged their touching vows at the Chapel of Transfiguration of Jesus in Caleruega last November 28.

The mood that day was very happy, the weather was good and the touching vows made the witnesses cry. Oh, I got out of the church so to avoid being caught in the camera crying =)

Tinee was very very beautiful that day. Yes, she really is beautiful since birth! And RD looked gorgeous with the unique barong suite he got. It was very very nice. Reception followed at Splendido in Tagaytay. The program was enjoyed by everyone and the food was great.

As expected, the photographers didn’t have a hard time taking pictures of this couple. They loved the camera so much and they aren’t getting tired of posing for more! All the pictures taken were really good. Suffice to say, they got a very good photographer and videographer, Pat Dy and Bob Nicolas.

I did not coordinate the event but I enjoyed being their guest. It was also our time to get bonded with old friends and officemates which I haven’t seen for more than 2 years already. It was their wedding and our gathering. Very momentous event I must say.

To RD and Tinee, best wishes to you and hope to see you having kids soon! Godspeed!
