visit-florist-1-year-before-weddingIf you’re one of the lucky brides who has more than a year to plan her wedding than visit your local floral shop(s) in the same season and specifically same month you plan on getting married the following year.

Visiting during the same season that you’re expected to get married in will give you an idea of what flowers will be in season. Searching for flowers that are in season is much more affordable and while you’re there you can get color inspirations that can help you choose your theme, decor and seasonal wedding favors.

You’ll also get a head start in shopping around for what could be one the most expensive items for your wedding!

So you want to elope? Not all brides are interested in a big wedding, some just want to get married without all the hype - if that sounds like you and your having to deal with family and friends that freak out at the thought, read on.

Not all brides want a big wedding and that’s OKAY! Maybe you don’t want to have a 200 plus wedding celebration - but every time you mention eloping, your mom freaks out - what gives? Well, every parent wants to see their child end up with the right person and they want to be there when their children vow to be with that person for the rest of their life. Hey, maybe you won’t understand until you have your own children. In the meantime, maybe there is a comprise.

All that really matters is that they are there to witness your love to each other, you don’t have to have a huge guest list to make it happen. The compromise is to walk down that aisle in your perfect gown and have your parents and maybe a few of your best buds their to witness it. You can follow this up with an intimate dinner - there you have it! Not only have you skipped the big hyped up, uber expensive wedding, but you’ve also satisfied your loved ones desire to see you get married.
