Beautiful flowers are an important part of every celebration, but when you are  planning your wedding decor and accessories, they take center stage!  Of course, there are flowers for each dining table and the the bridal bouquet, but there are so many blooming opportunities!  You’ll probably want flowers for the bridesmaids and boutonnieres for the groomsmen; corsages for honored moms and grandmoms and aunts; arrangements for the ceremony space, (where your New Jersey wedding officiant will be….you know I can’t ever resist a cheap plug 😉 ), maybe foyers, restrooms and reception areas.

You may want to send arrangements as a “thank you” to your guest readers, your college friend who played classical guitar for the ceremony, or your fiance’s aunt Mary, who made her famous, fabulous chocolate mousse cake, four layers high, to end your reception with a sweet taste of family history. I don’t think there is a person alive who doesn’t love flowers! And wouldn’t be a great thing, you ask, those flowers could not only be gorgeous and uplifting, but useful?

Funny you should ask.  I have just the resource for you, thanks to Erik Kent, of NJ Wedding.com, an amazing wedding planning resource. (Erik’s site delivers consistently inspiring articles, useful tips, and links to  the professionals you need to create a great, personal wedding celebration.)
