Aisle runners Custom made for you!

We’re so excited here at bridesnblooms.com. We found an amazing vendor with an even more amazing product!

Chic Unique Inc. is a company that specializes in custom made aisle runners. What a fantastic addition to your wedding (or any other occasion where you want to be the “center of attention”).

Chic Unique Inc. creates the most beautiful, handpainted aisle runners, unique to you. You get to pick the colors, the style, the ribbons, the verbage, and, best of all, what you will do with it after you walk on it.

It almost seems a shame to walk on such a beautiful work of art, but, hey, that’s what it’s there for. Once you have come down the aisle, you can choose to reuse the runner in various places at your event.

Beth recommends using it for a backdrop behind your sweetheart table, and then, once you return home, have it shortened and framed, or have a pillow made, for a keepsake that everyone can admire for years to come.

This is one of those items that “not everyone and their sister” will have. Be unique, be yourself!

So, if you are looking to step up the look of your ceremony and have a wonderfully beautiful keepsake for years to come, check out www.chicuniqueinc.com I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

Now, have a wholesale flower filled day!

Guasch believes it is important to create a wedding ceremony with each couple that is as unique as they are, because each couple’s story is different and unique.  When working with couples, together, you will write a wedding ceremony which reflects your relationship, your spiritual values and your own cultural heritage.  With Rev.

One really cool element that Rev. Guasch brings to the table is that she actually helps you to “tie the knot”, This is accomplished via the Handfasting technique.”  The Ancient Celts tied knots over and around the hands of a couple during a marriage ceremony, so that the couple would be bound to a life of blessings, health, and happiness.  Hence we get the expression “Tie the Knot.” If you choose a handfasting ceremony with Rev. Guasch you can quite literally “tie the knot”, with the help of your friends and family; Creating a unique memory and a wonderful memento to have and to hold!

Hand Painted glassware

What’s more personal than a custom handpainted gift item? I have found a very cool artist who can custom make your glassware and a whole lot more. Are you constantly looking for “just the right” gift? Do you have a loved one who has one of those names that you NEVER find on anything? What about something really different for your friend that has everything?

Check this site…http://www.aressa.etsy.com The painted house and more. This talented artist will make anything look more beautiful by hand painting or putting her talent to use on an ordinary hanger. Yes, you can buy “painted” glassware in most department stores, but, they are not custom designed, the colors aren’t your  1st choice, they don’t have your name painted on them, and they simply don’t say that you put very much thought into your choice.

If you are looking for a really interesting and different idea for a gift for your wedding attendents, your parents, or just someone you love, I say go ahead and put it on glass!

***here is A painted house’s April special…*** I OFFER 10% DISCOUNT ON MULTIPLE HANGER ORDERS! BRIDE’S HANGER IS FREE FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL WITH MULTIPLE HANGER PURCHASES!**** ©

Here’s hoping you have a wholesale flower filled day!

Seating Charts..A beautiful detail

Hi everyone.

I am constantly amazed by how incredibly creative some people are, and how that creativity helps others to have something that they will cherish for a lifetime. 

Who would ever think that seating charts could be anything except functional? Certainly not me. But, Theresa of BelleJardine.com definitely saw the need.

When you wander through the site, you are transported to your own personal garden. What do you want your guests to remember about your wedding? The details of course! What did you do that was inspiring?

www.bellejardine.comwill help you to find your passion, and have a wonderful keepsake that you can frame, and look at for a lifetime. Why have little placecards that people just pick up and then throw in the garbage? A beautiful, personalized seating scroll will be a remembrance forever.

Here’s hoping you have a wholesale flower filled day!

A great twist for a rehearsal dinner

Are you looking for a new and different way to get everyone together, get to know each other a little better and have a really good time? I met the coolest guy, who runs the coolest business…

Murder for Hire is a great and interactive way to have your family and friends get together and “do” a murder mystery dinner, (this is not dinner theater!)

You and your guests are the stars, the script is written, the plot thickens as you add your friends as the suspects. Each guest gets a part to play, someone is the murderer and someone is the “corpse”.

Check out the site…www.murderforhireinc.com, as for Tom, tell him Dorelle sent you!

Have a flower filled day!
