 In the 28 years of our own marriage, and from the experience of
counseling several thousand couples, we’ve learned a great deal about
what it takes to build thriving marriages. One thing we’ve learned for
certain: the choices you make in your first year of marriage can make a

life together...

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.

# 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.

# 1 - LOUNGING ANYWHERE
Wonder what to do to a resort ballroom to make it more interesting and intimate? You can create individual lounge areas by renting tents of sheer flowing fabric and adding sofas and coffee tables with lots of candlelight in them. You’ve suddenly created that romantic lounge atmosphere in a standard ballroom and given it more intimacy. Your guests can move to different “rooms” during the cocktails hour or or they can dance the night away. Jill La Fleur, The Wedding Planner

#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!
