Smart summer brides

Southern summers are hot! 

I knew that when I said "I do" on August 22 almost 20 years ago!

Yet brides continue to choose summer months to get married.

Here are a few tips 

Decorate with the bouquets after the wedding. Take to the reception and place in vases.
Ice, ice baby! Drop a couple of cubes in  vase water to keep bouquets cool, 
works for arrangements too.
Vases. Always have vases for bouquets to rest while not being carried.
Appoint someone to transport the vases from wedding spot to reception venue for added decoration!


Blessings.

Herb Week: Mint

Sweet smelling Boutonniere

One usually thinks "invasive" when talking about mint. 

Well, yes, but mint can be grown in containers and perform exceptionally.

 However, if, like me, you don't mind mint rambling all over your garden & popping up here and there, 

keep it in the ground!

 These days, brides are looking for more organic bouquets & requesting unique "flavors" of mint.

 So, while sipping your mint tea, go out and pluck a mint bouquet for the kitchen table!

see you
