Wedding Planning Advice and Tips from the Experts in share their knowledge

Tip #1
Ask your florist if there is an additional cost for someone from the florist to be present before the ceremony on your wedding day to pin boutonnieres, corsages, and distribute bouquets. Of course, if you are hiring a Professional Wedding Planner, and we strongly suggest that every bride does, you won't need to bother inquiring as to whether the florist will be there to assist.

Tip #2
The Centerpieces at your reception should either be above or below eye level if you want your guests to be able to see each other across the table. Otherwise, your guests will be constantly be looking around the arrangement to visit with other guest.

Tip #3
Boutonnieres are worn on the left side of lapel, and should be pinned under the lapel so the pin doesn't show.

Tip #4
Don't forget to talk to your florist about a bouquet for your bridal portraits. Since your portraits are taken in advance of the wedding day, this makes for a great Adress-rehearsal@ for everything, including your bouquet.

A Green Tip
Once the reception is over, make arrangements with a friend or a relative to take the centerpieces, donated bouquets, and other floral arrangements made for your wedding to a nearby Assisted Living Home or Nursing Home to be used as centerpieces on their dining room tables for the residents to enjoy.
