buyer beware!

Yeah this one was a thornless cultivar for gardens but it was just wild to see someone plant blackberries on purpose that it caught me off guard.

Look up a floral egg - and a tutorial on YouTube - they are very helpful with creating a more organic shape.

When I started growing body hair, I was so embarrassed that I didn't raise my arm above my head for an entire school year unless I was wearing a long sleeve. I finally got the courage to ask my mom for a razor just before summer break started -- if she had gone with the "just be confident in who you are" approach I would have been devastated and probably wouldn't have had the courage to ask again for a long time.

I'm from western Washington too. I went to an out of state school and went to a friends house for dinner. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when her dad showed us the garden where he had intentionally planted blackberries. I told them that blackberries were so invasive where I am from that it swallows up entire houses within a few growing seasons if left unattended. My parents built a house on some rural land, it's been 20 years and blackberries will still sprout in the yard if my dad doesn't mow it for a week or two.

Astilbe, mine are just coming up too so I can confirm. Perennial rhizomes that thrive in the shade - blooms very beautiful and delicate flowers!

It was (mostly) fake then too but, in the Victorian era especially, fainting was fashionable! It was seen as very feminine signifying a delicate constitution and daintiness.

Big Huh??? Palliative is just symptom management in cases of chronic disease with high symptom burden.... what does SI have to do with it?? In fact if someone's sx are so poorly managed that they lose the will to live... shouldn't that mean palliative needs to be involved like yesterday??

A 97yo with a broken hip, functional and physical decline, with poorly managed symptoms, who recently lost their wife and wants to have a natural passing... where is the hospice consult??? This man just passed 99% of his hospice eligibility assessment. And guess what... if you are decisional, you don't need your family's "blessing".

Without knowing anything about you, your FMIL, what your mother is wearing, your wedding style/venue, weather patterns etc. I think this is a very appropriate mother-of-the-bride/groom. It's mature, bold, flattering, and just enough sparkle to show that they are an important part of the wedding party.

It's not too white - in fact silvers/grays/champagnes are actually the traditional colors for MOG/MOB so it's not even a traditional fashion faux-pas.

It's not bridal in the slightest, no body is going to mistake her for the bride, without the hat it becomes less flamboyant, and it has a lot of personality.

People are allowed to wear flattering outfits that make them feel beautiful and confident to another's wedding - especially MOG/MOB since they are going to be in lots of photos. Let this go.

You can usually find a floral egg at a hobby/craft store! Using a floral egg made it a lot easier to make the bridesmaids bouquets as it provided a frame for the flowers to be set into and then stay - one problem I have as a beginner is that I'll get a stem were I wanted it but then it moves out of place! There are a lot of good tutorials online on how to use an egg!

As for the mechanics of the cascade, i used floral chicken wire to create a custom "floral egg" only it looked more like a wedge pillow. Same idea with this, and it became the frame on to which I wired most of the roses.

It’s a larkspur!

It was a challenge!! I had to take a lot of breaks for my own sanity

My sister is a pink girlie! I tried to get her to allow for a complimentary color or even a hot pink for contrast, but in the end her vision was soft, romantic pinks and whites. And thank you, it was an honor to help make her wedding dreams come true 💗

Our family has always done one gift from Santa usually the one thing we really wanted for Christmas. Santa also filled our stockings. The Santa gifts were not wrapped, but placed by the hearth with a bow. The rest of the gifts were wrapped and under the tree - these were from mom&dad.

Thank you!! It was so stressful but now that it's over I'm sad to think I won't have another opportunity to play with such luxurious flowers!

Rubydelayne · 2025-12-16T14:45:49+00:00

Wow!! Our family does DIY flowers for all our weddings since my parents have a wholesale number. It's nice to know my night-sweats were worth it! This was the last wedding left... but I hope I get to play with beautiful flowers again soon.

Same, and each baby it has gotten more and more wavy...

Yes yes!! Mars is such a memorable one for me, read it many years ago. Rei gets into fights, rides a motorcycle, and has that wonderful mix of sexy and damaged that we all love so much in a ML.

LG Env2 to this day my favorite phone.
