Wedding planning???
Try some of these sites and many blessing to you hears a good website to start hope these help
Reply:2 things, try 1800 flowers or buy white flowers and spray paint them merlot
Reply:There's a certain variety of roses that come in a dark red color, and they're beautiful. Try asking your florist, they'll have a bunch of suggestions for you. For the reception, it depends on where you're having it. Some places will decorate for you, others want you to do it, and they'll usually let you do it the day before the wedding.
Reply:If you can afford it, hire a bridal consultant.
You start by setting your budget and deciding how much of said budget will be allotted to which services/items.
As far as flowers, find a floral designer (not the same thing as a florist) in your area and go have a sit down meeting with him or her.
Decorating is generally up to you. Some more full service places will decorate, but you are going to pay for it. Sometimes you can decorate it the night before, other times, it has to be done the day of, so generally you would ask friends and/or family members to do it. Make sure to ask when you are looking at venues, they will be able to tell you what their requirements are.
If you cannot afford a full time bridal consultant, many wedding planners are willing to work as "day of" help so that they can handle decorations and all of the last minute things that come up as well as making sure everyone is where they belong doing what they should when they should be. It's worth the money to reduce the stress.
Good luck and congrats!

Reply:Congratulations! If you can't find any flowers that are a maroon or merlot there are other ways to have that color on other things. How about if you have chair covers with maroon or merlot color? It depends on what your theme color is. You can have silver chair covers with maroon sash (bow). Chair covers make a lot of different. That is the first thing that your guests see when they enter the room. It makes the room looks a lot nicer. Or you can rent chivari chairs and put maroon or merlot sash (bow) on the chairs.
About the reception, most vendors should be able to set-up their own products. The chair covers vendor set-up the chair covers and bows, the florist set-up the centerpieces any other flowers that you might have, etc. If you rent chivari chairs you will need to arrange them yourself. Unless you are having the reception at a hotel then the hotel staffs will arrange them for you around the tables. When you call the vendors ask them if they set-up their products. Most vendors set-up their own products but some don't.
About seating, you can have an arranged seating or you can let them sit wherever they want. I don't like arranged seating because it gives me headache. You will have to see if this person can sit with that person. If this person gets along with that person. Things like that. I wouldn't even put a "Reserved" table(s) because you will piss some people off whether you want it or not.
There will be small things that you need to assign your friends and family to do it for you. Such as greeting the guests, checking off the guestlist, You will also need to pick somebody who is trust worthy to be the point of contact on the day of the wedding. That person will be the voice of you.
Good luck!
Reply:How about silk flowers? That way, you can get the color you want.

At my wedding, my florist did all the decorating (at both church and reception) . . . and did a beautiful job.
Many brides decorate early and do it themselves. Still others ask friends or family members to do it. Often, someone who works at the reception venue will decorate for them. So the choice is yours . . . hire someone, do it yourself, or ask friends or family for assistance.
Reply:You need to get a bridal book that gives you info about all of the things you will need to do before the big day. This is going to be a wonderful adventure for you and LOTS of fun! You can get wedding planning book at a bridal store or department stores where they have wedding registries!!!
You need to go out and pick out your dress and place of ceremony first!
Wedding dress alterations may take a while and places of ceremony can be booked up to about a year in advance.
I wish you the best of luck. It is going to be fun! Expensive.. so hopefully you will have help there!
You really need to get started now. This year is going to fly by!!! Yeah!! Congratulations! This is a beginning of a new life for you!!
(Remember marriage is not like in the movies... It is going to be a roller coaster ride for up to the first 5 years, probably!)
Reply:Try typing wedding flowers into google, I got a list of seasonal flowers come up, I then shortlisted it to 5 flowers, we are next going to look at what colours each flower comes in to shortlist it to our colours.
Good website is hitched.co.uk.
You can either decorate yourselves or hire someone, you will sometimes find the company you buy decorations for will go in and decorate for you
Reply:The first thing you need to do is fine a wedding guide or personal planner. I am not talking about an individual, just a big note book. Keep everything in one place. One with pockets is best.
You need to confirm the big stuff first.
The church, the reception hall if needed, the minister, or Rabbi, or whatever depending on your preference.
Band, caterer, ...big stuff. Get them all on contract first so that there aren't' date problems.
Then go with the smaller stuff..
Start going to big craft stores. Like Hobby Lobby and pick out some silk flowers that resemble what you want. Have those handy when you go to a florist.
Here are some web-sites that will help you get organized. The more you get the big stuff out of the way, the funner it makes planning the rest of it.

Picture the last wedding that you went to and make categories in your notebook/planner. Sections such as Church/location, flowers, menu, guests, bridesmaids and so on..
It will call come together and remember, it is your wedding! Do it your way with no regrets!
Reply:just hire a wedding planner, you will be glad you did
