And because weddings are always expensive, I have included information that will help you do many things yourself. It is my hope that this group of pages will help you to plan your wedding on a budget.
There are even instructions for making your own flower arrangements, corsages, and buttonnieres on these pages!!

The information you find on these pages is information that I gathered to plan our magical wedding to which I added my own knowledge in working with flowers, etc. I hope that you find these pages useful!

Candle Centerpieces
Adding light to your decorations using candles is a tradition for a wedding celebration. There are innumerable ways to do this. Almost any container can be utilized to hold and display candles. Allow your imagination to wander and create something that will not only go with your theme, but will also show your creative side!
Glass is always a favorite as it allows you to display beautiful light sources and adds to the beauty of the light by reflection. Above are a couple of examples, but do not allow them to stop you from imagining your own perfect arrangement of light.
Adding color to your arrangement is easy. You can add flowers, ribbon, tulle, greenery... the list is endless. Again, let your imagination wander. I have even heard of brides adding beautiful swimming fish to centerpieces!
Whatever you choose to do, let it be a reflection of you and your love for each other.
