Miss Cherry Pie recently posted photos of her hanging wedding flowers. She's still perfecting the idea, but I think they look great already. She writes that she "spent some time this weekend with my shepherd’s hooks and cache of jars working out how to attach one to the other.
How To: Decorate With Paper Flowers
I recently ran across these gorgeous paper flowers from stylist Zoe Bradley. Zoe's paper creations have been seen everywhere, from the McQueen runway to the windows of Louis Vuitton and Donna Karan.

Inedible Flower Cake Is Sugar Free and Delicious to the Eye
My girlfriend Melissa's sister is diabetic and has to really watch her consumption of sweets. That's why Melissa decided it would be best not to serve cake at the 30th birthday brunch she was throwing her sister. However, no birthday is complete without some sort of candle and singing ceremony.
Fabulous Floramor
I recently had a chance to sit down and talk to one of San Francisco's top floral designers, Laura Little of Floramor Studios, about flowers, weddings, and upcoming trends. Laura has a rich passion for the beauty of nature and a grand respect for fine arts that is reflected in all of her arrangements. Established in 1984, Laura and her team have been working with brides non-stop for the past 22 years and have orchestrated the design concept for over 3000 events.Cool Idea: A Bouquet of Water Flowers
I'm so impressed with this beautiful bouquet of water flowers. While I would never advocate picking flowers out of a freshwater lake (especially if it's a rare plant), if you have a backyard pond or fountain, it would be wise to cultivate some water flowers to use for an unusual bouquet or arrangement. Can you imagine how stunning a bouquet of water flowers would look at a lakeside wedding?
Flowers 101: Ranunculus
The other day one of my sister's friends stopped by with a bouquet of pretty pink flowers from her garden.

Wildly popular, there are over 400 different species.
The Gifted Child: Flower Girls and Ring Bearers
At the wedding I attended last weekend, the flower girls were rewarded for their hard work and petal spreading duties.

Flower Girl Tutus
Add a bit of whimsy to your wedding procession by dressing the flower girl in an age appropriate outfit.
