One of my favorite trends as Vermont wedding planner that my business Harlow & Dahlia Events frequently sees is the use of wildflowers in our weddings.

Wildflowers are a breath of fresh air compared to the more complex arrangements often seen at weddings. Wildflowers such as hydrangeas and baby breath's are delicate, soft flowers that can really add a sense of romance to any wedding.

They can be used in a variety of different formats. My personal favorite is as a bride's bouquet, baby breath's in particular will look so beautiful with most wedding dresses in particular long flowing dresses.

They can also be used as centerpieces for guests tables. In fact I did this at my own wedding, I hand picked all of my centerpiece flowers at a farm and then later the rest were picked and arranged as my pieces.

You can use them as decorative pieces in spots such as the wedding cake table, diner buffet table or the gifts table.

Yet the most everlasting way to use flowers is on your hair. Any bride would look beautiful with natural wildflowers in particular for outside weddings!

Do you love wildflowers? Did you have them at your wedding? Would you like to feature them at your upcoming wedding?

One of the main reasons I decided to start a wedding planner business was my experience the day of my wedding. I decided given our budget and my love for planning we would bypass a day of coordinator and definitely a wedding planner. Guess what? That was a big mistake.

While I could live without the wedding planner given I styled and design the entire wedding, someone to save me the time would have been incredible. Th day of the wedding, despite having many volunteers and friends willing to help I should have absolutely hired someone to help run the show. Why? If you don't, I guarantee all the set up questions, disasters and more will be directed at the bride.

That is why when I found this article by a fellow former bride who shares those sentiments, I had to share it on the blog!

There is nothing I love more as a wedding planner than wedding design. I love styling the look and feel of weddings, color palettes, textures. I scout Pinterest like it's my job (it is!).

Yet in Vermont bridal showers are almost just as fun as the wedding itself. The bridal shower is a pre-step into how beautiful the wedding itself will be.

That's why when I saw this idea for a bridal shower table set up, I had to share it! How beautiful is this idea?
