Signs, Signs, Everywhere A Sign

Have you been to a wedding lately ? We are loving the sign trend that has become and essential part of your wedding décor.

Signs that tell you where to go ...

Signs that remind you how to have fun ! ...

Signs that tell you where you are and what to do ....

Signs that make you smile !

Let's throw in a sign that rhymes ;)

How fabulous would it be if you got adventurous and created your own sign ?

You can do it !

Poetry, Prose + Lyrics

Are you a writer ? Do you have pages and pages of your written word

collecting dust in a box under your bed ?

The world would be a better place if

we all fostered our creative side so please

submit your poetry, prose or lyrics to questions@wildexpressionsflorist.com

Be sure to include your first name and the where you are from.

What Would Have Happened To Us ?

Would we have remained together

Bonded by love and a commitment to each other ?

Would we be that couple sitting ,on the beach

on the fourth of July, our child sitting between us ?

Time has been our friend

Our daughter looks happy as she jumps from her chair in delight

I pick up my camera to capture what I can

And you, look calmly at the water, and the lights bursting in the sky

What would have happened to us

if we had waited

to marry the ones we had chosen first ?

What would have happened to us

if we had believed that holding hands meant more than simply the touch ?

What would have happened to us

if we had been older, wiser, and more brave ?

What would have happened to us

if love truly always wins ?

Poetry, Prose + Lyrics

It's time to bring back Poetry, Prose + Lyrics.

If you love to write + are yearning to share

(on a small scale, like my blog) here is your chance. E-mail your original work to questions@wildexpressionsflorist.com

Be sure to include your first name + the town you live in.

If we all fostered our creative side, would the world be a better place ?

Hello

It's been years

How do I hold back

Wanting to share it all

I am blurting out words

Not in any order

And certainly not in response

To what anything you are saying

I wanted to remember every moment

Now

I can't even remember what you were wearing

I wanted to play it cool

Now

I feel my underarms are damp

I wanted to somehow draw you back in to whatever it was we had

Now

I can't even remember what that was

So the hustle + bustle of your big day is over ... whew ... How did you do planning your honeymoon ?
Planning your wedding can be overwhelming but don't wait until the last minute to start thinking about your honeymoon. Depending on your destination + time of year that you will be traveling (some couples opt on a mini-moon right after the wedding + then a big trip at another time) you should begin planning approximately 6-9 months ahead of time.
Not sure where to go ? Why not think outside the box ? There is nothing written in stone that says your honeymoon destination has to be warm + tropical. Forget what you think a honeymoon has to entail + plan according to what you both would like it to be ! It never hurts to have travel insurance. You never know ... Most honeymoon arrangements are prepaid + nonrefundable. It is far better to expect the unexpected than to be disappointed. After all, you planned the perfect day and now it is time to recover, relax + renew.

Do You Sniffle At Weddings ?

When I was a little girl my Dad would carry a handkerchief in his left back pocket. He was a builder who spent countless hours outside so this accessory was something that was well used. The funny part was that his handkerchiefs had to be ironed ... the right way ! lol. When the job was first past on to me, he would look over my shoulder and give me pointers. First it had to be ironed flat, on both sides. Then folded in half ~ ironed ~ folded again ~ ironed ~ folded the other way ~ ironed ~ folded one more time ~ ironed. It looked perfect. So needless to say, I love the charm of a REAL handkerchief. Why not bring them back in a real way, by having them on "hand" for the "tears of joy" your guests will shed at your wedding ? And now they have a keepsake from your special day ... who knows, they just may iron it too ! ! !
