Activity for Darlene

I want to wear flats for my wedding but that means my dress would need to be cut from the bottom. I am nervous about having the dress cut. Anybody?

I need some help figuring out what preservative to use for the wood slabs I will be using for my centerpieces. Anybody?

What do y'all suggest for flower petals on the sides of the main aisle? I want flower petals but I can't afford the real ones. What types are artificial but look real?

When should I pass out my wedding invitations??
