Welcome Stephanie

This is a little overdue but Jen and I are so excited to welcome Stephanie Smith officially as a planner to the celebrate! team. Some of you probably already know Stephanie as my hard working assistant, but now she has moved up to one of our elite planners at celebrate! She has worked numerous weddings with us and has proved to be an exceptional planner, organizer, and event designer. We feel so blessed to have Stephanie on our team.

Here's her very first inspiration board, don't you just love it!!!

Wedding Flowers

While picking out your wedding flowers, it might be nice to know the symbolic meaning behind each flower that you choose. A neat idea is to select a flower whose meaning matches your bridesmaid's personality. You could give each bridesmaid a different signature flower to make her bouquet more individual and special, with a note explaining what that particular flower means.

Here are some example:

Amaranthus: constancy and fidelity

Amaryllis: pride, pastoral beauty

Chrysanthemum: happiness and long life

Chrysanthemum (white): truth

Chrysanthemum (yellow): secret admirer

Chrysanthemum (red): love

Daffodil: respect, good fortune, chivalry

Daisy: innocence, loyal love, purity

Forget-Me-Not: faithful love and memory

Iris: faith and wisdom

Ivy: affection

Lilac: first love

Lily: purity and sweetness

Orchid: love and beauty

Peony: happiness and prosperity

Rose: love and desire

Tulip: true love

Violet: modesty

Zinnia: thoughts of friends
