Category Archives: Culture and Tradition Last week, I had the privilege of attending a PUG (Pictage Users Group) meeting. As a treat and in celebration of Passover, one of the guests Natasha from The Write Shot made and brought chocolate covered matzah. It was my first time having it and it was totally addicting and DELICIOUS! I loved my little... April 8, 2010 - 7:11 pm
I love Jewish wedding traditions and wish I would have incorporated some into my wedding. April 10, 2010 - 9:30 am
I love the idea of mixing lavender in the bridal bouquet! And one of my favorites is the Jewish tradition of the Hora dance. It’s so lively, and always bound to be a blast!

Be on time! in a circle of people for whom I often do the wedding flowers, the guests are so notorious for being late that the brides and grooms have thought they would be clever and put the start time a half hour earlier than the actual start time. As a vendor I should have learned my lesson the first time, but it happened again yesterday… everyone was so early that I had an audience as I set up the ceremony flowers (which is highly annoying not to mention makes me look unprofessional through no fault of my own) but I had no choice. The church said I couldnt set up until 3 for a 4pm ceremony, except that the guests had been told 3:30 and many people showed up at 3 and were immediately seated even though they shouldnt have been. This happened last summer at another wedding – the cousin of yesterday’s wedding. The irony is that the weddings both started extremely late from when they planned. The 4pm ceremony guests had told would be at 3:30 didnt start until 4:30 – so some guests had been sitting for 1.5 hours! And as the bride and groom dont pull this on your guests and if you do – tell your vendors! September 15, 2009 - 8:45 pm
Don’t complain about ANYTHING to the bride & groom on the wedding day {especially the bride}. They’re stressed enough and are trying to enjoy their day. If there’s something you don’t like, care for, agree with, etc. and you absolutely MUST get it off your chest, please let it all out to the wedding planner. If they don’t have one then talk to someone in the bridal party if you have to but PLEASE don’t go to the bride with anything that isn’t positive. This is their day and they should be able to truly enjoy it without any negative comments. |
