However, after planning my wedding, I now find myself picking up fresh bouquets at the grocery store to replace the artificial ones in the vase on my coffee table.<br />
<br />
While I was planning my wedding, I secured a florist early on but sort of forgot about her. I finally did contact her six weeks out and, at that point, I was so flustered with everything else I basically said, "Hi. I like pink. I like these flowers: (insert pictures here). Please do what you think. Thanks!"<br />
<br />
If I could go back, I would choose a bouquet made up entirely of peonies. I'm partial to neutral and blush colors, and I would likely pick a dramatic, large bouquet of white for myself. For my bridesmaids, I'd choose large bouquets of blush peonies and roses (my favourite).<br />
<br />
Here are some photos for inspiration!<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jewelry does not have to be "cliche" or "boring"; think of something that you would love to have, but probably wouldn't buy for yourself. I decided to dedicate this gift post to Kate Spade's designs because I have been lusting over everything, and I'm sure that I'm not alone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times;">If you'd prefer to give something other than jewelry, included are some other unique, but practical gift ideas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Tip:</em> Buy a large, bright reusable bottle. It will be easy to spot so you won't forget to bring it along to all appointments, and it will remind you to sip throughout the day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Avoid sugary, highly processed foods</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On your wedding morning, the pastries may be in plain view and hard to resist. However, foods that are high in sugar and empty calories are low in nutritional value and will only lead to a crash when you need energy the most. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Tip:</em> Try a mix of protein and carbs, such as a slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter, and an apple or banana on the side.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Avoid salt</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Salty foods will make your body retain water, leaving you feeling bloated and puffy everywhere. Avoid foods that are high in sodium a few days before and on your wedding day to keep bloat away.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Tip:</em> The easiest way to avoid salt is to eat foods that are as close to their natural state as possible, or minimally processed. ie: fresh fruits and vegetables and lean proteins</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Avoid artificial sweeteners</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Artificial sweeteners are found in diet drinks and foods. According to <a href="http://fitsugar.com/">FitSugar.com</a>, the sugar alcohol found in certain food and drinks is difficult to digest and will leave you feeling uncomfortable and bloated.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Listen to your body</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Likely, you know what works best for you. If you don't, keep track of how certain foods make you feel for a couple of weeks prior to your wedding and avoid the one that your body doesn't agree with.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Likely, between the time that you depart for the ceremony to dinner, hours will have passed. Here are some tips to keep your blood sugar stabalized and your energy levels up:</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Avoid alcohol and drink water</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">After the ceremony, while your friends and family enjoy cocktail hour, you may be tempted by someone's offer to bring one back for you. However, it's likely been hours since you've had anything to eat or drink, so choose water to keep your mind clear until you arrive at your reception.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Have snacks handy</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ask a bridesmaid to keep some trail mix or </span><a href="http://larabar.com/"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Larabars</span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> in her clutch. You might not feel hungry because of the excitement, but nothing is worse than feeling an energy crash mid-afternoon. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Being in a wedding party is expensive. Most people can expect to spend at least $1000.00 on attire, gifts, and miscellaneous "duties" such as bachelor/bachelorette parties and showers. Add travel if you're far away and the cost can rise exceptionally.</span></div>

I might even go as far as to say that I'm slightly "afraid" of color (and I'm sure that I'm not alone). However, bright colors featured in weddings look gorgeous, whether they are subtle, such as only the bridal bouquet, or done all out in linens and dresses. Here are some ideas for incorporating bold brights into your wedding.</span><br />

Walking around a mall for hours trying to find what I want is not appealing, and neither is dealing with over crowding on weekends and during holidays.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">When I was first engaged, I couldn't wait to go dress shopping. However, I was never enamoured by the idea of my mom, mother-in-law, maid of honor, etc., etc. being by my side with tears in their eyes as I found <em>"the one." </em>My sister (and maid of honor) accompanied me, and I found a dress I loved on the first attempt. So, would I shop online for a wedding dress? If I had ample time before my wedding, I certainly would.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here are some gorgeous gowns and accessories, all handmade by Etsy vendors:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Can't decide what to do with your nails on your wedding day? Of course, a french manicure is classic and looks put-together with any wedding gown. But, a subtle neutral shade adds a little extra while still keeping it simple. You could even use one of these colours in place of white and still opt for a french style. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, if your woman of honour (the bride, of course) is into pink, then how about a pink themed bachelorette party?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now, we all know the typical bachelorette party:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You should certainly encourage the bride to get crazy, however, you don't need to do it covered in phallic parophenelia.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now, remember, you do not need to spend a lot of money on these. The most inexpensive way to create a couple of beautiful centerpieces is to go to a local floral shop, farmers market stand, or even grocery store and pick up a few great looking blooms and some greenery. Arrange them in a vase and you're finished.</span></div>

So, I decided on small rose boutonnieres wrapped in twine. What could have easily solved the I-don't-like-flowers dilemma would have been a non-floral boutonniere. But, not just any old thing...<br /><br />How awesome are these!? It's almost a good thing that I didn't know of these before my wedding. I would certainly have wanted to surprise my husband with one and I am so indecisive! You don't even want to know how long it took me to come up with songs for our ceremony (seriously, you don't). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You could purchase one for just the groom, or purchase multiples based on personalities for the groomsmen.. or your dad! Your soon-to-be father-in-law! Your brother! I can't get enough!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don’t know if rustic weddings can be considered a trend or not. If I had to bet, I would say that they are here to stay. They are always so full of personal touches and there is something very much down to earth about it. Here is some inspiration for rustic touches to add to your outdoor ceremony. These can easily be moved indoors in case of rain or weddings held during the colder months. Another useful thing about most of these options is that they can be transported from ceremony site to reception for centerpieces, receiving table décor, etc. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Stumps lining the aisle</em></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You could customise with anything you want on top and surrounding the stumps (or nothing!) Some ideas: lanterns, mason jars, vases, candles. I am loving the wildflowers featured in the photo below.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Wine barrels</em></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Winery wedding or not, wine barrels are a great rustic addition. So that the wine barrel doesn’t overpower the décor that you decide to put on top, make it big: large lanterns or floral arrangements are great. Or, you can leave them bare!</span><br />
