What's the point of a "toss" bouquet?!
Lauryn, on November 8, 2016 at 4:27 PM

I hate flowers - always have. I am doing non-floral centerpieces and the ONLY reason we are having bridal/bridesmaid bouquets is to keep my mom happy. I don't care to preserve any bouquet so I just...

Centerpieces Ettiquette
Silverlava, on November 6, 2016 at 3:55 PM

Do guests typically take the centerpieces home? My parents say yes, but that sounds odd to me.

In case of rain?
gapeach, on November 7, 2016 at 8:29 PM
