Go for a meditative walk the morning of the wedding and think about a bright and happy future as you pick out bright and happy flowers for your hair, bouquet, and center pieces. Leave something in their place, such as your love for Mother Earth, fairy dust, or a seed. Think about where you walk, where you will walk, and who has walked before you. Pick up some dirt, rub it between your hands, and let it fly as nothing is permanant. Possibly, except for love.
There are many wild flowers in every neighborhood that will add that perfect local color for the wedding. Wildflowers are free, colorful, diverse, and they give the bride the sense of home she needs to get through the day.
Send me some photos showing what you did with your flower arrangements.

Time to start ordering my wedding invitations. Recycled paper is a must. Of The Earth offers the use of custom made recycled paper for a variety of projects. Check out these seeded invitations. They are so cute and just the look I am going for. Which recycled paper are you?

Lately, I have really been into finding inexpensive alternatives for store bought and over priced wedding flowers. This time, I have struck soil. I was staring at the umpteenth vase of wild flowers (check out the photos below) my neighbor has brought to my house and thought how wonderful it was to have beautiful flowers around without having to pay a dime. It finally occurred to me just how to solve my flower crisis. Local wild flowers! Just the thing for a bride on a budget. Taking a walk through the neighborhood to pick wild flowers for centerpieces, bouquets, and hair the morning of the wedding would certainly calm jitters. Not to mention putting fresh picked flowers out for the guests to enjoy. Free and local flowers are certainly the perfect touch for the perfect (and aromatic) wedding.

If you have not figured out by now that I am on a budget, this project will clue you in: paper flowers. Okay, so you might want to splerge for your bouquet. For your tables, however, make paper centerpieces. I was checking out google reader looking for inspirations when I came across these cool paper bows for presents, (thank you papercrave). Take this idea, and turn it into a unique and one of a kind center piece for your wedding. Attach paper stems, organize in a vase, add some pebbles, and voula, one of a kind centerpieces. (I really should try this!) A plus, these flowers will never go bad. You could even spray a little perfume (hoping no one is allergic), on the bouquet as a treat for the nose. Check out the photos below. Can you imagine a bouquet or centerpiece?
