I am looking for decorations for our church during the ceremoy. We are getting married in a catholic church and my colors are champange and claret. I need ideas on floral arrangements and pew bows. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
Any ideas for decor for church?
I like the stuff they have on this website. It%26#039;s much more original than you tulle bows..

that and candals.
Reply:Pew bow with flowers in them would be very pretty. Also remember you%26#039;ll have the alter flowers and sprays of red in them will look just beautiful (roses, lilies, gerber daisies etc) Your florist should have books for you to look through. Also does your church have columns? Sometimes they have hooks for hanging plants.

Bridal Party Flower Question?
I am getting married in April of this year. My bridesmaids dress color is red. We picked this color becasue my fiancee is a fireman. Does anyone have any ideas of inexpensive floral arrangements we can get for the bridesmaids. Ex: type of flowers to use, colors, etc..
Bridal Party Flower Question?
Here are some ideas for you. I would recommend using other colors with the red so they don%26#039;t get %26quot;lost%26quot; against the red of the dress.

Any bouqete that you find can be altered by your florist. Using flowers that are in season in April will reduce your cost greatly. Bring pictures of bouqetes that you like *style and color* to your florist and they can help you create it even if they have to use different flowers than the original.

Reply:You could go to your local craft store and get some silk flowers. I would get red and white flowers and maybe coordinate some ribbons to go with them.
Reply:Gerber Daisies come in great bright colors, some red, some orange-y and yellow, they are beautiful and the best part is they look good on their own- no need to combine other flowers- or even in fairly small bunches. Tulips are also nice too and not expensive.
Reply:white callic lillies. They are big and you dont need as many. White will accent your dress as well. On your arrangements have a red ribbon tied around them to accent their dresses.
Reply:pink or white flowers..no red it would be too much red I think..and also look into silk flowers if you are on a budget..thats what I%26#039;m using. Congrats!!
Reply:I used cala lillies and they looked very elegant in pictures. My maid of honor had two and each bridesmaid had one. It sounds a little minimalistic, but it photographed wonderfully.
Reply:i would have red roses and white roses together here are some websites

Reply:well roses and carnations are probably more expensive so I can%26#039;t really thinkg of a type of flower. You can try visiting a flower arrangement store and checking out just the types of flowers not the colors. The colors would depend on what color red. Like a deep red or a light red. I think white would go really nicely with the dress no matter what color red. But if you don%26#039;t want white I%26#039;d try some color %26quot;relatives%26quot; of red, like a dark pink or any different hues of pink with some white mixed in.best wishes.
Reply:Red lillies would be a great choice or you could play up the or you could use the glory lilly that actually looks like flames.
Reply:white roses with the tips in red or pink..
Reply:white daisies! i think that%26#039;d go perfectly with red dresses
Reply:This lady has AMAZING work. you could go to hobby lobby or micheals and get the flowers and find a cheap book to find how to make them. there is no harm in trying them first before you make all of them. GOOD LUCK!!!

Should I use the bouquet to match?
Here is my bridesmaids dresses.
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2953258/0~23...
I am having large casual outdoor summer wedding in black, ivory, and red. There is a velvet burnout on the dress of floral arrangements. Should I have my bridesmaides carry an arrangement that matches the sillouette on their dresses or is it too faint to notice and won%26#039;t matter?
Should I use the bouquet to match?
I would suggest going with the same shape as the bouquets on the dress, but the actually flowers really aren%26#039;t a big deal. It%26#039;s to hard to really tell what they would be anyway.
Reply:The dress is really pretty but I%26#039;m not sure about the color black or red or the material for a summer wedding. If you decide to do this have a sunset wedding. I would probably have the bridesmaids bouquets red (roses for instance) with a hint of white or ivory (dipped by the florist). Hopefully your groomsmen are wearing black tux. Just keep it classy...good luck!
Reply:Skip the black, and just go with white and red. Yes, weddings are for HAPPY colors.
The bouquets could just be a nice mix of pretty colors and assorted types of flowers, it would look pretty with a red dress.
Reply:Its had to tell exactly how the arrangement on the dress is. You should do round bouquets to keep the feeling. I would go with red roses. They will really pop against the black.
Reply:It%26#039;s not to faint to notice I actually think it the highlight of the dress but I don%26#039;t think people will pay that much attention to the pattern to see if it clashes with the flowers or not. I say go with whatever you want.
Reply:It%26#039;s hard to tell from the picture, but it doesn%26#039;t look real pronounced on the dress, unless you really look at it. I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s enough so that the bouquets should match. It might even look a little weird if you tried to match them exactly. Maybe stick with them being basically round, but besides that, I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it.
Reply:thats not a bridsmaid dress.. thats a cocktail dress...
and black.. what the hell is that about...
what is this half wedding half funeral...
go with a nicer colour than that...
and the bouquets they hold should pop out...
like a red dress with white flowers... then you can notice them...

Bridal shower gift?
My bridal shower is this sunday. It is at one of my bridesmaids parents house. Her mom is starting to get worried about everything since there will be so many people there.. what would be an apropriate gift to give her mom and dad for having it at their house. I was thinking an baskat from eddible arrangements with is a bunch of fruit cut cute and put into a vase to make it look like a floral arrangement. Any other ideas.. I dont want to spend more than about 40.
Bridal shower gift?
How about going to Pier One and giving them a beautiful vase or candle set?
How about a gift certificate to Outback or a restaurant near by and a nice card? ($40)
How about sending something from here....
http://www.wisconsincheeseman.com/?utm_s...
How about 2 bottles of wine with ribbon around the necks and a nice card saying how you appreciated her hospitality for your bridal shower?
How about a $40 gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond in a nice card?
Reply:I think that would be great. Also you could get them a gift card to their fav restaurant, a nice plant for their yard, a gift card to a nursery for flowers for their house. I think anything you get them will be great. Its nice you are thinking of them :]
Reply:40.00 at Edible Arrangements won%26#039;t go far. Try getting them something like a gift certificate to a nice restaurant. They%26#039;ll like that!
Reply:You could give them a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant.
Reply:any kind of basket like that would be wonderful or even a gift card to their favorite restaurant.
Reply:I would write a heartfelt thank you note and give them a gift card to a restaurant.
Reply:How about a gift cert. for Merry Maids to help clean up afterwards.

What can I give to a family at a funeral besides flowers and/or food?
The father of a very good family friend passed away yesterday. The initial discussion was to do a nice floral arrangement, as they have done that in the past for my family. However, I just don%26#039;t want to spend $75 on a bouquet that will die. And I%26#039;m not a fan of silk arrangements either.
The family won%26#039;t need food... they are active in a lot of groups that have already offered to provide meals for a few weeks.
There is no mention of providing a donation to a charity, so that%26#039;s out.
The man%26#039;s hobbies included oil painting; woodworking; fishing; watching his children’s, grandchildren’s, and great-grandson’s athletic events; basketball; decorating for Christmas; and working in his yard.
Any suggestions on something we could do that would be more long-lasting and memorable (for his family, not for our gift).
What can I give to a family at a funeral besides flowers and/or food?
If you don%26#039;t want to do a flower arrangement to send to the wake, it%26#039;s usually traditional to send a PLANT instead (not flowers). You can find BEAUTIFUL peace lilies online. They%26#039;re really durable, and don%26#039;t take a green thumb to take care of. They%26#039;re also beautiful.
You can also send a fruit basket instead of sending %26quot;food%26quot;.
Really anything you do will be appreciated. Don%26#039;t worry about what other people are doing. I would probably go with the plant.
Reply:go to a nursery and pick out a bush or a tree that can be planted in the family%26#039;s yard
Reply:If there is no charity to donate to, pick one and put it in the deceased name anyway. Example: is there a charity Home Depot or Lowes does things for; because he was handy and things. Find out what organizations they are affilated with and donate to them in his memory and make sure the family sees it.
Also, waiting and then doing something kind after the funeral is long over with is an excellent way to show you care after everyone has forgotten.
Reply:you have two options: either phone the family and ask what organization to donate to in the man%26#039;s memory, or send a check to them with a note saying you wanted to contribute to ease their loss and didn%26#039;t know what they needed at this time of their loss. (with the money they could pay for Masses in the future if they are catholic, they could put it toward the funeral or expenses they incurred, they could donate it to offset the guys income with regard to his final IRS form, etc. and you could use that as a donation on your income taxes)
Reply:Usually a nice family photo with him in. If you can get it enlarge and framed in a quality frame. People will be able to remember the happy moment the photo was taken for many years to come.
I did a similar thing when a very close uncle died, my auntie still keep the photo on show on her mantle piece 8 years later.
Reply:...Hmm, you could find a local painter to have his portret painted in oil - add a custom wood carved frame and don%26#039;t make it too big, like in the old days, just dainty enough as not too be cumbersome in the future. At the funeral just let them know you are preparing a special gift that takes a little time to deliver and offer a smaller arrengement with a sympathy card.
If oil painting is not an otion then invest in a quality enlargement (again, not too big) and real expensive carved wood frame from a pro, custom framing services, they do an excelent job!
Reply:What did he die of? Cancer? Donate to the Cancer Society. Heart disease? Donate to Heart %26amp; Stroke. You get the idea.
He either died in a hospital or was treated in a hospital - donate to that hospital
Reply:An envelope with cash!
Reply:Habitat for Humanity is a good choice for a charity.
Also, since he had so many hobbies, you may want to consider donating some money to a local public library to purchase library books in his memory. The library normally places a book plaque in the front of the book saying %26quot;Donated in the memory of....%26quot;
Since he had so many hobbies, asking the library to buy books in his hobby areas would be nice.
Another idea would be to donate money to the great-grandson%26#039;s school (maybe the athletic department?).
Just a few ideas.
Reply:You could put together a photo collage of him and present it to the family. If you use a computer, put some music in the background or his favorite songs.
Reply:Maybe you could make a donation in his name to a local organization he enjoyed - like the athletic boosters, the garden league, or a local marina. When my grandmother died, a friend gave us a hydrangea which we planted. It reminds us of her every time it blooms.
Reply:We felt the same way when my grandmother died, no need for a bunch of flowers so we asked that people make a donation in her name at her 2 favorite charities. You say that donations are out, but you could find something in the woodworking or oil painting world that you could donate the money to in his name. Or you could just give the donation for them at the funeral. People give money at funerals too. Normally it goes to help pay for the funeral.
