Roses are still the best wedding flowers and also those Catleya orchids ~

What a fun topic, Tanya! I’m not very knowledgeable about flowers (I could kill a fake plant!), but I find the subject of certain colors meaning certain things fascinating, especially when the giver and receiver know the meanings.

Hi Patricia, yours is the second post that had a removable corsage in the middle. I never thought of such a lovely thing.

Since I have a two-year old grandson, I am completely delighted to read about the grasshoppers, bees and ladybugs. He spent about a half-hour the other day examining a “hungry” caterpillar laboring down a sidewalk.

Two elegant roses would certainly be memorable. Thanks for stopping by tonight.

My bridal bouquet had pink roses and white carnations. Pretty traditional. The going away corsage was the center of bouquet. When my youngest sister got married, we tried to save her bouquet by drying it in silica. Didn’t work because too many of her flowers were thick and moist.
Our daughter made her bouquet and the corsages for her second marriage. Her son was about 2 as was a stepson. She used artificial flowers and artificial bugs. The boys had grasshoppers on their corsages. She had bees and ladybugs and probably a grasshopper. Was a cute, small, outdoor wedding. Our oldest daughter had just 2 long stemmed roses: one her grandmother’s favorite color and the other his grandmother’s favorite color.

Hi Paty, good to hear from you. My SIL had peach roses and I was maid, make that matron, of honor. They were so, so lovely.

I am so thrilled to have won a copy of your book at Cate Master’s blog contest! It’s been on my TBR list. Thanks for stopping by today.
