 In the 28 years of our own marriage, and from the experience of
counseling several thousand couples, we’ve learned a great deal about

certain: the choices you make in your first year of marriage can make a

Creating a Loving Network |
 It was right before a friend’s wedding a
few years ago that I realized families aren’t always pleasant to each other
during the wedding process. For years it
has been suggested that couples seek the advice of the clergy to prepare for
their commitment to marriage in the form of “pre-marital counseling”. More frequently now the family has been
getting involved.

#21 LA FLEUR TABLE
Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not
just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer
of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them
through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware
and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly
onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!

#31 FLORAL DECOR
No wedding is complete without flowers. Try updating the traditional
centerpiece by using masses of your favorite flowers in a variety of
complementary tones for added texture and interest. For instance, if
your bloom-of-choice is the gerbera daisy, try one centerpiece with
dozens of red gerberas, another with orange, and another with
fuchsia-colored bunches. Let your imagination run wild!

# 6 RECIPES FOR FAVORS
Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc. Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.
