Flower Ideas For Your Wedding

Sometimes my brides have accent colors they want to use…but they also have a certain flower they want to use that doesn’t come in the accent color they are using.

This happened to my daughter.   Her accent color was lavender.   She really loves Calla Lilies, and to this day she grows them beautifully in her gardens in Austin, Texas.  So she bought white Calla Lilies and took lavender eye shadow to highlight the tips of the Calla Lilies.  Perfect idea!  Her bouquet came out beautiful and the colors were just what she wanted.

Remember this when you are planning your flowers.  Think outside the box, like Maggie did.  I’ve told many of my customers this idea….and it’s helped many of them.

Who Should Walk You Down The Aisle?

Before I begin this blog, I want to thank DK Hebert Photography for providing all of the photos I am using in this post.  If you are looking for a wonderful, professional, understanding, patient and easy to get along with photographer, look them up on my website, Magnolia Court Wedding Guide under Photographers.  You won’t be disappointed.

When you are planning your wedding there are many factors to consider.  One of the things you need to think about is who will walk you down the aisle.

Alix, in the above photo, chose her dad to walk her down the aisle.  While in the photo below, you will see Anna chose both her mom and dad.

Who will walk you down the aisle? Anna chose both her mom and dad.

With divorced families, this decision can be especially hard.  Sometimes you don’t just have a biological father…but you also have a step father that you are close to and would like him included in walking you down the aisle. What should you do?  There is absolutely no reason both can’t be included as you see in the photo below, , Britney, chose to walk with her father and stepfather.

Who should walk you down the aisle? Qwen chose her dad and step dad to walk her down the aisle.

Another option is to have one walk you halfway down the aisle and the other one walk you the rest of the way.

While Gwen, in the photo below, chose her step dad to walk her down the aisle on her special day.

Who will walk you down the aisle? Qwen and her step father walking her down the aisle.

A bride who has no father living may decide to have their mom walk them. That is so awesome!  Their mom was not only their mother but also their father to them….why shouldn’t they pick their mother to walk them down the aisle.

Others opt for a close family member….sometimes a brother, uncle or even a grandparent.  I’ve had some brides who have no father or mother and a brother will walk them down the aisle. In the photo below, Amanda chose her Godfather to walk her down the aisle.

Who should walk you down the aisle? Amands's father passed away so she choose her Godfather to walk her.

And times have changed.  With the new laws, finally, we have this  wonderful couple below, Josh on the left and Evan on the right, walking down the aisle together!

Who will walk you down the aisle? Josh and Evan, same sex marriage, walk each other down the aisle.

Just remember that this is your day.  Do what makes you happy!

Happy Planning!
