I have been asked continously about how to handle and prepare tropical flowers before arranging. The BIGGEST AND WORST mistake made by many florists is they tend to place the tropical flowers in the cooler. BIG NO-NO!! Tropical flowers such as: bird of paradise, varieties of gingers, heliconias, anthuriums are NEVER to be placed in the florist coolers. All you need to do is prepare the bucket with the water and food, cut the stems as you would any flower and place in the bucket. Leave them at…

I recently noticed on a friends facebook a comment about the expense she was paying to be a bridesmaid in a wedding.
The bride was obviously wanting a particular dress that cost $495 dollars US ($586.70 AUD). Now I don’t know about most people but $500 + on a dress is not something I would normally consider unless a) The Dress made me look like Angelina Jolie or b) it was the most important day…

As every trainer should, I incorporate flexibility training into every workout. However, I must say that many of my clients simply hate it. Although they all agree that it is important, they are quite happy to skip it and have a rough time doing it on their own. I thought I’d share some of the reasons stretching play an important role in helping you work towards your fitness goals.
Every joint in your body has tendons and ligaments associated with it that facilitate articulation…

I ask several questions when speaking with my brides to verify the style they want to present. Their wedding is…

I am often asked by potential clients why there is such a huge difference in the quality of a band when the prices are sometimes very similar? My answer is simple. Some band leaders want the job so badly they are willing to tell the client anything they want to hear to get the contract. Some "high priced" bands may not be able to deliver the goods due to the size of the band (too small), the professionalism of the presentation (no tuxedo, questionable gear). Sometimes the sound of the band may…

Love is such a simple thing when its right when you can wake up in the morning and know that you are loved by another human being. Not just loved but well frankly liked and wanted and needed. Sometimes we as humans mistake love to be all that we need but as we go through life we find that not only is that important but having a wonderful friend in life one that we can share our ups and downs with, our most wonderful dreams and perhaps as time goes on even the dreadful secrets we keep. And you…

I suggest using one stationer to guide you with all of the components of your printed items.You want to convey a sense of style with an easy flow of coordination with all of your accessories.I do not mean everything has to match...just come together nicely to represent your good taste. I always get excited to see the final outcome when working together with couples to get just the look they dreamed of.
I have had brides choose unique colors for their invitation ensemble that were not…

There is a lot of buzz out there about how to save money on your wedding. If you still want to have a lovely wedding, then you need to re-adjust, as I call it. Don't cut so much that your wedding won't be what you want it to be. Be smart. There are lots of little ways to save and still have a beautiful wedding. Don't pick the month of June-that saves you money but you can still have a lovely wedding in another month. Don't do a Saturday night, The money you save for doing that can get you a…
