This past Saturday, June 12, 2010, two of the most beautiful people I know followed their path down the aisle.  Janice and Allen looked a.m.a.z.i.n.g. and happy and (from all reports) their vows blew everyone away (I was prepping the reception site during the ceremony - an unfortunate drawback to this career!)

Reader, let me introduce you to Gladiolus communis, affectionately known in my family as the "Sword Lily" (which IS one of its proper nicknames, but also because my fiance is a theatre fight choreographer and he just loved...

[caption id="attachment_90" align="alignright" width="226" caption="The idea is growing on me."][/caption] A rolling stone gathers no moss.  But a clever designer does. I'm tossing around some moss ideas for a woodland wedding theme, and stumbled upon a few noteworthy mossterpieces: Ms. Martha Stewart herself grabbed some inspiration from the grounds around her estate in Maine and employee Kevin cobbled together a really cool "mini-landscape" featuring multiple kinds of moss. Tulsa, OK-based Simple Sweet Design offers custom mossy monograms.  Not only can you order your own married initials (perhaps to decorate a mantel at your...
