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.
