I love when Bride’s spend lots of money on real flowers, because I get to take them home to my wife.

While I’m cleaning up my gear at the end of the night, I watch as flowers get piled high on the tables. Family members and staff tell me to take them home because if not, they’re going in the trash cans.

I have no recommendation but to tell you what my wife and I did. We got our flowers from Trader Joe’s, mostly Baby’s Breath. My wife put them into old bottles and it looked great. There may have been some eucalyptus leaves in there too.

Again, I have no problem with you spending a lot on flowers. I’ll certainly be impressed because I’m there setting up before anyone else arrives. Maybe the question is, how much will you or your guests notice them amongst all the other activities going on that day?

Don’t get all your guests to kiss, just some of them.

The Kissing Game is a fun way to entertain guests during dinner.

The DJ calls for a couple to come up and do a kiss which the Bride and Groom then must replicate. Around four to six couples can be called during dinner, with around 10 minutes in between each.

If you’d like to do this at your wedding, give a list of couples to your DJ. Make sure to at least tell the first couple your plan so they’re on board and willing. Pick couples you know will have fun or be silly and enjoy!
