Christina + Jason 3.21.10

I must admit, I've been a very, very bad blogger. There is so much going on at our FYEP headquearters but I promise I'll try to visit here at least once a week. There are some events and work still to post and as soon as I get my hands on some photos I'll be posting for you all.

Now on the good stuff...
Here's the link to Christina's and Jason's wedding photos about a month ago at The Mill in Springlake Heights. I love this venue, especially when the couples ceremony is outdoors in the gazebo by the lake. The lake is so calm and breathtaking and the lakeside ceremony is definitely one to remember.

Click HERE to view Christina's and Jason's wedding.

Congrats to Christina and Jason!! We enjoyed working with you and creating your Sweet Candy Bar!!

Anniversary Flowers!

Next week hubby and I will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary!
I found this very interesting and wanted to share...You may not have known that each anniversary milestone has a flower associated with it. Well, it does.

The pansy is the time-honored first anniversary floral, and unfortunately, if we were to go by these anniversary flower rules and if your favorites are roses, we all must wait patiently until our 15th anniversary for roses and much longer for beautiful orchids! Geez!

For your enjoyment, below are snap shots of the first five years worth of anniversary flowers.

The others are also listed. So, if you’re going to play by the rules, be sure to share this with your husband or fiance.
1st – pansy
2nd – cosmos
3rd – fuchsia
4th - geranium
5th - daisy
6th – calla lily
7th – jack-in-the-pulpit
8th – clematis
9th – poppy
10th – daffodil
15th – roses
20th – day lily
25th – iris
28th – orchid
30th– sweet pea
40th – nasturtium
50th – violet
