More and more couples are taking a green approach to their wedding day, trying to incorporate elements that will last and not go to waste at the end of the night.  A great way to achieve this is to have a living centrepiece.

I have a wedding in August where we are doing planted orchid centrepieces with green moss and curly willow.  A little trick with curly willow, when you get it, give the stems a fresh cut and put them in a bucket of water for a day or so.  Chances are they will sprout tiny light green leaves.  So pretty!

A few weeks ago we celebrated our niece’s first birthday!
I created several colourful floral arrangements for her in pink, orange and green, using baby food jars as vases.  It was a first for me as well, as it was a traditional Korean Tol Ceremony.  We used the flowers as a backdrop to the ceremony with all the various symbolic elements included.  The taking of the perfect picture seemed to be a very important part of the event.  It was a lot of fun and we were able to get several great shots of precious little Enid in her adorable (Tol-bok) outfit, although she tired of her cute little hat early on.

Later that day we set up another table with various items:  like a book,
a stethescope, a mouse for the computer, a bundle of string, paint brushes, etc. and let Enid loose to choose which item she prefered.  She chose the stethescope first, so Doctor Enid it is!
