Turn Your Photos into Art

I just recently had a family photo turned into a "stunning work of art on canvas." This is the latest trend in the photo world. I love it. I was very happy with how it turned out. I had this done to present to my husband on Father's Day. He was very impressed. I used Easy Canvas Prints. The four-step process is so easy and very reasonably priced beginning at $30. They have hundreds of sizes from which to choose, even as large as 40" x 40"! They also have various borders you can choose from to wrap your canvas. Since I was doing a black and white canvas, I chose an all black border.

I thought this would make a great addition to a newlywed's home - having a favorite wedding photo turned into a work of art on canvas. Just simply fabulous!

Groomzillas

Do you look like the couple in this picture as you are planning your wedding with your groom?

No doubt you have heard the term “bridezilla” and perhaps have even watched the reality show by the same name, but the up and coming “groomzilla” is now starting to rise to stardom.

I just listened to a news segment this morning about how grooms are now becoming more and more involved in the wedding planning. My husband was actually very involved with our wedding planning. He was not a "groomzilla" however. We were in our mid-30’s, no longer living at home with the parents, had our own careers, so we were paying for everything. We are both very administrative and we worked very well together in planning our wedding. But, not all grooms may be so easy-going about it. Some even go so far as having the final say on the bridesmaids dresses down to the choice of shoes or even want to help their bride choose her wedding gown.

As a wedding planner, I love it when the groom is involved in the wedding planning. Afterall, it is his wedding, too. I was such a believer in this that in my wedding, I asked (and he complied) my husband to walk down the aisle. I wanted him to have his shining moment just as much as me.

So, ladies. What about your grooms? Are they “groomzillas” or are they letting you do most of the planning?

Gerbera Daisy Theme

I recently designed flowers for a wedding on June 11. The bride was all about Gerbera daisies. She was specific in that she only wanted white Gerberas with black centers.

I love Gerberas myself. They are so pretty and a very hardy flower that lasts a long time.

I made a Flower Girl head wreath out of daisies, baby's breath and ivy. This was the first time I had the opportunity to make a head wreath. It was a little challenging putting each flower cluster on, but in the end, I think it turned out pretty nice.

I made bouquets, mini-bouquets for the mothers to carry, boutonnieres, corsages, Flower Girl mini-bouquet (as well as the head wreath) and a tossing bouquet.

Enjoy!
