Wedding Planner California
Your wedding day is going to be very hectic. Allow yourself at least two hours to get ready before your wedding is scheduled to begin. If you are planning to have photographs taken before your ceremony, start getting ready two hours before your session is scheduled to begin. These last few hours are stressful enough, don't add to the stress by running late. Take your time when getting ready, and enjoy the company of those around you. Bring an emergency kit. This kit should have sewing supplies, extra makeup, extra hose, and tissues. You should also bring a pair of comfortable shoes such as flats with you. During the wait before the wedding, you will not want to be running around in heels. Your feet may never forgive you. This does not mean that you have to deposit the wedding favors in a bank vault so they will be safe from burglars, home wrecks and even ordinary accidents. On the other hand, this means that if you have children at home for instance, you must keep these wedding favors out of their reach. You are not only doing yourself a favor. Somehow, you are doing the couple who have given you these keepsakes a favor for taking care of what they consider as a remembrance. You are also doing the children a favor because you are being responsible -- you are keeping them away from danger.
Flower seeds make unique wedding favors and are a wonderful way to thank your guests for sharing your special day. Flowers have a way of reaching people like nothing else. They represent a bit of hope and remembrance for everyone. My general rule of thumb for wedding favors is that a pound of seed will make between 150-200 teaspoons of seed which is enough seed to add a fair amount of color to a garden or in the case of smaller seeds like Poppies or Shasta Daisies will go quite a ways in terms of plant yield. It is more than you typically get in the packets in the stores. Your packaging will also make a difference. If you have clear cellophane you may want to put a heaping teaspoon whereas in a non see- through package you can probably do with less and still be giving enough seed to have an impact. Annuals bloom only one year but some will reseed themselves (creating new plants the following year) others will not. Perennials come back every year. Common flowers used for unique weddings favors: Chinese Forget Me Not, Love In A Mist, Sweet Peas, Shasta Daisies, Painted Daisy, Corn Poppies or anything that matches your colors or theme. Annuals are typically planted in the spring while perennials are usually planted in the fall or early spring. Most seeds will keep at least 6 months before they start to loose their germ so people do have some time before the seeds need to be planted. Types of packaging used for wedding favors: Custom made envelopes with date and names, poem etc… cellophane wrap with a tied ribbon on top, small terra cotta pots, coin envelopes with a self made computer sticker on the front, tulle sachets (not good for small seeds unless you use cellophane inside), fabric bags that match your colors, etc
