Sitting at my desk today, I got an email from my co-worker. The email subject line read “stinky wedding”. Well, with a subject line like that I immediately had to stop what I was doing to open it!

So, I was perusing Wedding Blogs the other day when I came across pictures from this Nashville wedding on Style Me Pretty.

Speaking the Unmentionable in Filler Flowers

October 6th 2009 by Heidi | No Comments

Baby’s Breath is a filler flower that I hesitate to mention to customers. Just hearing the name can produce a very strong negative reaction. One self proclaimed “flower snob” that I spoke with recently, said she would never consider using something as boring and passé as Baby’s Breath! When I attended a [...]
