Outside the Church

Santa Maria la Stella
 
Decoration outside the church for a wedding is a wonderful touch.  Decoration puts the guests in a cheerful mood and almost welcomes them to enter.  It’s a symbol that something special is about to take place. Unfortunately, it’s not often that the budget for decoration allows a client to put flowers outside the church.  However, I encourage my clients to allocate even a small amount to create a simple decoration that reminds guest that a special ceremony is about to take place.

Remember to save just a little bit of your budget to allow for decoration outside the Church.

Bridal Bouquet

 
 
 

The easiest choice for your wedding day is of course the formal round shape bouquet in cream or white. What you may not realize is that there are literally hundreds of styles to choose from.  I’m a traditional girl so if I was getting married today I would probably opt for that simple bouquet. However my job is to realize the dreams of other ladies on their wedding day and for this reason I have attended a number of specialization courses to learn how to create various different styles of bouquets.
 


One of the latest trends is the brooch bouquet. Although many people produce this kind of bouquet, a trained florist is the best person to design a brooch bouquet since we have been trained in how to construct a bouquet regardless of the material.

Remember that any bouquet that you have seen on my website can also be constructed with silk flowers.



 You can email me, skype, facebook, Facetime or make a phonecall and we can discuss your dream wedding.  It's my hope to make your dreams come true.

All the best,

Budget

Saint Isidoro, Borgo di Tragliata


 
These are difficult times to plan an event and even more challenging when it’s your very own wedding. There are so many surprise expenses.  Often when you think of planning your wedding you will immediately think of the reception meal and your dress.  After those two main expenses everything else goes into a big group of stuff that needs to be paid for in some way.

 
What I really wish couples would talk about and then make a list of what they want to remember most about their wedding day.  When you think about your wedding pictures, what do you hope will stand out the most.  Remember it’s those pictures that will remain forever and of course your memories.  Then with that list you can begin to decide where to invest your budget. 
 
 
 
Of course as an event designer I pay attention to how the event will look when it is photographed. When I suggest that an arrangement be placed in a particular place, it is because I know that it will add to the beauty of the photographs. I try to understand which items have special meaning for the bride so that the memories of the wedding day will be extra special. The desires of the groom are also important to me and I do my best to include them somewhere in my designs. My goal is to maximize your budget to create beautiful photographs and memories that will last a lifetime.   

 
Let’s email, Skype or meet in person to discuss your dreams and your budget so I can help you create the memories that will last a lifetime.
  
 
 
I sincerely look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
Cheers,
 
Debra
