More Free Flowers - Lilac and White Hibiscuses

By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
Pink Hibiscus Flowers

White Hibiscus Flower by nicolegail.

It's the end of June and to my surprise what I thought was just a bunch of annoying trees along the fence line is really some hibiscus trees. There are tons of them, so for a Summer wedding, these would make such beautiful centerpieces. Because of how they grow, they would look better in single bud vases or emerged in water on some cylinder vases ( illustrations below), but all the same, they would be stunning. So again, as a budget bride it's just matter of keeping your eyes open and you too can find some beautiful flowers in your town, growing wild, that you can use as a wedding decor.

Glass Hurricane Stem Vase 12 for $1.00 each

7 1/2 " Glass Cylinder Vases - $1.00

Sarah's gown held special sentimental value. She incorporated pieces of her grandmother's 1920s wedding gown with a dress by Jessica McClintock. She wore her hair in a casual side ponytail and added a white dahlia for a touch of whimsy. Zach wore a tan suit from J.Crew made of natural fibers, continuing the couple's eco-chic wedding theme.

Two of Sarah‘s close friends grew lavender and mint for the wedding bouquets and centerpieces on their ranch. A local florist added sunflowers to polish off the look. The yellow, purple and green color palette and the mix of herbs and flowers gave a ...

DIY Wedding Photos

By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd


I love this website that features a wedded couple who shot their own wedding pics all over the world using  just a camera and tripod! The bride was creative in finding ways to off-set using a professional for make-up by getting a free make-over from cosmetic stores on week-days till she learned which one looked best in photos.
