For the Birds

It’s been known for, well, as long as I can remember that throwing rice as the Bride and Groom run to the cars is ‘the thing to do’ at a wedding. However, anyone who’s ever been at a wedding with this fiasco knows that it isn’t the best way to celebrate the new couple. I mean, who wants to spend their limo ride to the reception picking rice out of your hair or clothes. There are many alternatives to the old-fashion cooking rice on the market now’a days and after hand testing them all, we’ve found the best!

Heart Shaped Bird-Friendly Wedding Rice. This elegant looking rice is not only edible for the birds that want a piece of the party, but its also heart shaped so that it doesn’t look like something that came out of your pantry. At less than $20 a bag, this bag of wedding rice can fill up to 100 wedding favors.

If you like the idea of catering to the birds on your wedding, or are just throwing a party and want some cool gifts to give away, we’ve found these awesome Bird Seed feeders. They either come in the form of Garden sticks, or as hanging hearts, but either way, they’re sure to be a fit for all your eco-friendly guests!

Flower Packages

One thing we’ve found while doing all our bridal research is that more and more we’re seeing flower shops that are offering Bridal packages. This can greatly cut back in the cost of your flowers, getting them as a collection is the way to go. ProFlowers.com offers a few different packages ranging from smaller packages, to ones a little larger.

If you’d like to order flowers from your local flower shop or grocery store, yes- I said grocery store, then be sure to ask them what kind of packages they offer for wedding parties. Sometimes you have to ask to get a better deal!

Another thing to do is do a little research and see if you can find a local wholesale garden supplier. Most cities have local wholesalers for flowers and plants and its a great way to get fresh items at a low cost!

Good luck!

In honor of Kim Sjostrom

For those of you who don’t know the story of Kim Sjostrom, she passed away on January 19th during her wedding. She had only been married for less than an hour when she collapsed in her husbands arms during their first dance. Kim, 36, passed from heart disease.

Her husband Teddy Effkarpides consoles himself by reading a list of “101 Reasons Why I Love You” that she had given him on their first christmas together. “Number 1. You make me smile.” and No. 98 is especially difficult: “you’re the one I want to grow old with.”

After reading this story on Yahoo.com it made me want to compose a list for the man in my life telling him 101 reasons why I love him.  Even though I’m sure he knows there are many ways and reasons why I love him, I know I would be devastated if something happened to me and I never told him that instead of just one, two, or ten things- there were one hundred and one things about him that I think are amazing!

I wanted to pass this idea on to all you ladies out there and encourage each of you to take the time to write out a list for your significant other and tell them, show them, all the ways and reasons why you love them.
