FLOWER PRESERVATION
Flowers are a classic, beautiful form of decoration - and, let’s face it - you will put in a lot
of time and effort into making sure your wedding flowers are perfect for you and your
partner’s big day. Whether you’re a sentimental bride who wants to keep the memory alive,
or a practical bride who wants to get the most bang for your buck out of your bridal floral
investment, you should think about preserving your wedding flowers.
Don’t wait until the week before the wedding - or worse, while you’re at the reception - to
make up your mind on whether or not you want to preserve your wedding bouquet and/or
other wedding flowers. Decide now so that you can budget money and time to the process
so that it’s done properly. If you are going to preserve your flowers but still want to do a
bouquet toss, then you will need to plan on having a separate toss bouquet.
There are many, many ways to display your wedding flowers, and what kinds of displays you
like will often determine the type of preservation you can perform. Do you want to frame
your flowers and hang them on a wall, or do you want them to act as a sort of centerpiece
or type of table decoration? If you’re having trouble deciding on a type of display for your
wedding flowers, think instead about where you have space to display them.

When browsing the jewelry stores in
search for your wedding band, keep
your lifestyle in mind. Do you or your
fiancé have jobs that require you to get
your hands dirty, or do you enjoy weight
lifting in your free time? Maybe your
jewelry tastes are simple and you don’t
want to wear your engagement ring
everyday. You don’t have to get your
wedding and engagement bands soldered
together, there is nothing wrong
with wearing your engagement ring for
special occasions (or when you want
to feel fancy!). The metal you choose
for your wedding ring can be picked
for fashion reasons or can be based on
lifestyle and desired durability. Spend a
little time getting to know your metals,
but feel free to mix and match metals,
settings and
decorations.
Gold in any of its variations, such as
yellow gold, rose gold, or white gold, is
the most popular choice of metal for
wedding rings, and has a very classic
look to it. However, it is a softer metal
and will bend or scratch more easily
than some of the other metals.
Platinum bands are the most expensive
of the commonly used metals. The
hardness of the metal makes them
durable, and they are naturally
hypo-allergenic which makes them
a great choice for people with skin
sensitivities.
Alternative metals such as titanium
look trendy and are at a nice price point.
Tungsten is also a popular option for
men’s rings since its hardness makes it
resistant to scratching. That same level
of hardness also means that it won’t
bend, but it will break or crack if enough
force is applied to it, kind of like a
diamond. However, most jewelers aren’t
able to work with alternative metals
like titanium, so your ring cannot be
repaired or resized as easily. Keep that
in mind when making your selections.
