Fancy Terracotta Centerpieces
Aug 31, 2009 The Reception, Wedding Flower Ideas
Saw this post over at the Bride’s Cafe recently and we totally love the idea and the style of using simple terracotta pots to dress up your wedding’s style. It’s easily adaptable to your wedding’s decor and is a simple way to dress up your wedding’s reception with these centerpieces. You don’t necessarily even have to plant anything in them, you can use them to store fruits, pine cones, candies, or other items that will fit into your wedding’s theme. Flowers and plants are also beautiful, of course, but remember there’s always more possibilities! Check out the DIY instructions over at the Bride’s Cafe.

Ceremony Flowers - Hanging Flowers
Aug 24, 2009 The Ceremony, Wedding Flower Ideas
There are tons of wedding photographers blogs out on the market, including some local San Diego photographers who display their beautiful work. Today we’ll be featuring a few photos from Paula and Mike Luna of lunaphoto. These photos in particular showcase some stunning ceremony flowers created by Kathy Wright.




What we loved about this ceremony’s setup was the hanging flowers that drape the couple as they take their vows. They’re unique and stunning and give an extra touch to the wedding ceremony.

One huge part of your wedding day is your wedding ceremony. It’s important to find the right officiant to perform your wedding’s ceremony, someone who you both connect with and who can properly express and perform the perfect ceremony for you. It’s one of the biggest days of your life and who you choose to conduct your wedding ceremony shouldn’t be taken too lightly!

The great thing about having Bethel conduct your wedding ceremony is that she will take the time to get to know you as a couple, find out what you’re all about and use that information to craft together a beautiful ceremony with you for your special day.

Bethel conducts a wide range of ceremonies, whether you are religious, spiritual, inter-faith, non-religious or somewhere in between. She can help you to create a ceremony that means the most to you as a couple, one that reflects your feelings for one another and will incorporate any traditions you would like to uphold.
