I Heart Hydrangeas!!

One of my favorite flowers is the hydrangea. Even as a child, I loved to see them in my neighbor’s garden. They are so simple yet so elegant and they make a huge impact with just one stem. Hydrangeas are in bloom during spring and early summer. They come in white, shades of pink, blue, green and burgundy. A great way to use the hydrangea is your centerpieces. A simple arrangment of all hydrangeas or a mix with other flowers will be the perfect addition to your table scape. Also you don't need a lot to do a lot. Four hydrangea stems can make a complete centerpiece. Here is some hydrangea inspiration!!

Ceremony Decor

Although you will spend most of your wedding day at your reception, your ceremony is just as important. This is when you and your groom officially become husband and wife. It’s a special moment and the décor should reflect that magical moment. I must admit, I am not a fan of spending a lot of money on ceremony décor, especially when you are working with a tight budget but I am an advocate for making the space look great. When choosing your ceremony décor, there are some things you should consider. If you are getting married in a church, synagogue or any other house of worship, the setting may not need a lot of décor. You can keep it simple with flowers with ribbon or tulle for the pews/seats.

If your ceremony is taking place in a non-traditional setting, like a park or beach, let nature be your back drop and add an arch or chuppah as you focal point.

Many couples are opting to have their ceremony on the same grounds of the reception. In this situation, you may have to add a little more to make the space look more like a ceremony. Choose a focal point, arrange you seating accordingly and don’t forget the aisle.
