A Sweet Heart Gift for a Flower Girl and her sister!



Your Flower girl and Jr. Brides Maidds will love carrying the BFF 2-in-1 Friendship Bag. It's two bags, combined by a center zipper, that can be separated. Share one with a friend or trade halves to create a fun new look. Either way, they will look great toting this awesome accessory--it's embellished with hearts, rhinestone studs, and an iridescent overlay.
Perfect for Ages 5 and up

Dear Nancy... Centerpiece HELP!

Hey everyone! I would like to ask your opinions- I just got my floral estimate today and it is little more than I wanted to spend (while staying within the 10K-12K total budget). Most of the cost is in the centerpieces I chose. Do you think its cheesy if I put my choice centerpieces on every other table and do something Little more inexpensive on the others? any ideas you all may have would be great....thanks!

As a Wedding Planner and Floral Designer alternating arrangements is a great idea.
It is done all the time. Consider a grouping of candles opposite the flower arrangements.
By choosing a modern look you will use far less materials
This look is charmong for a counrty wedding

Best of luck!

Newport R.I.Best Keep" Secret" The REAL Platinum Wedding florist

I was having lunch with Karen from Check the Florist yesterday . To my surprise she told me that they did the flowers for the Newport Platinum Weddings episode that will air next November. Her family's 3rd generation floral company that has been in business in Providence since 1928.
Don't let their FTD web site fool you.
They can do a budget wedding or a high end Platinum one, sometimes for fraction of the cost of many of the" Newport In town" designers. So make sure you get a quote from them when planning your R.I. wedding.

Congratulations to Miriam at Limoncellostyle

A Note from her Blog!
Hey there readers...just wanted to give a quick update to let you know that our son, Garrison Reid, was born into this world naturally on July 8, 2009 at 4:50am weighing 10lbs 5oz and measuring 21.5 inches.
We have been home a bit over two weeks and it has been an amazing time of bonding and getting to know the little guy.
And just to keep this post wedding related...for those of you who remember, my husband and I were married on 09-08-07 and as you can see, Garrison showed up on 07-08-09...needless to say we are tickled over the coincidence...of course that means there is a bit more pressure on child #2 :)

We at the gallery are so over joyed!
