I've always had a fondness for apothecary jars. There's just something about them that makes whatever you put inside seem much more special. Whether filled with guest soaps/beauty accoutrements in a powder room or fresh fruit/snacks in a kitchen, apothecary jars always make an upscale, vintage presentation.
Because they're available in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes, (and are inexpensive -- Target, Michaels, Ikea) apothecary jars are ideal for enhancing dessert/candy buffets, or as centerpieces and favor containers. As shown below, you can even use them as cake stands. For added appeal, adorn apothecary jars with decorative clings or stickers that contain your names/wedding date, instructions (i.e. "Help Yourself") or jar contents.

Title: Ron's visions in blue - The Love potion
PLEASE READ FIRST!!
Thanks =)
The story is a little bit complicated, so here's the storyline:
A few years after the battle of Hogwarts Ron decides to marry Hermione. He visits Lavender and tells her about it (Ron was never really tactful ;). She's shoked, 'cause she still loves Ron. Thus she gives him a love potion to "celebrate" the affiance and Ron drinks it together with Harry and Hermione before he asks Hermione whether to marry him. But Ron falls in love with Lavender after drinking the potion and Hermione doesn't know, that he wanted to marry her. She's really sad, but Ron leaves her and runs to Lavender. From this time on, Ron sees everything blue, because these are his "visions in blue". Although he's happy with Lavender he misses something, but he doesn't know what. He sees Hermione at a Quidditch game and he dreams about her, but everytime he wants to think about these dreams, Lavender gives him the potion, so he forgets Hermione. One day Harry discovers what happened to Ron, but Ron doesn't want to listen. He tells it Hermione as well and she knows now, that's only the potion. After another dream about Hermione, Ron recognize, that he loves her too and that Harry must have been right. He doesn't want to drink the potion anymore and leaves Lavender. Ron and Hermione are happy together again and they finally marry (I know, the two aren't Ron&Hermione in the video, but I haven't got better clips for it...) Lavender is really angry now, but - Who cares? ;)
Sorry for the little cuts in the song, but my story was unfortunatly a little bit too long for the song so I had to stretch it a little bit...
As I said in the video: I only own the editing!!
Thanks for watching and if you like it, I would be very, very happy if you rate&comment =)
For an extra pop of color, forego traditional pearl and diamond earrings in favor of colorful bridal earrings. Let these colorful baubles express your whimsical side and enhance your color scheme. The inspiration board below would be ideal for the bride with Irish ancestry, a May birth month, a love of the color green, or a Wizard of Oz obsession (think Emerald City).

Http://www.UniquelyYouPlanning.com presents Part 2 of Rose and Candle Themed Wedding. In this episode we look at some fun ideas for wedding and other event centerpieces. For additional articles and videos go to http://www.UniquelyYouPlanning.com
The inspiration for the Burberry Wedding Theme board below came from my newly purchased Burberry Regent handbag. I had added it to my wish list and just decided to give in and treat myself (I've been a good girl).
If this wedding theme tickles your fancy, go beyond incorporating the famous novacheck pattern into wedding decor. Consider that Burberry was granted "Royal Warrants" by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles and add regal elements to your decor as well. Base colors of red, taupe, black and white are a great place to start.

Title: Bigger Boys & Stolen Sweethearts (With Lyrics)
Arctic Monkeys
Lyrics:
There's always somebody taller
With more of a wit
And he's equipped to enthrall her
And her friends think he's fit
And you just can't measure up no
You don't have a prayer
Wishing you had made the most of her
When she was there
They've got engaged
No intention of a wedding
He's pinched your bird
And he'd probably kick your head in
Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
You're better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Oh no
He might be one of those boys
That's all pretty and vain
Likes to go in the sunbed
And stays out of the rain
So that he don't get his hair wet
You wouldn't want that
At least he hasn't got a Nova
Or a Burberry hat
They've got engaged
No intention of a wedding
He's pinched your bird
And he'd probably kick your head in
Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
You're better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Of course you were
Have you heard what she's been doing?
Never did it for me
He picks her up at the school gates
At twenty past three
She's been with all the boys
But never went very far
She wagged English and Science
Just to go in his car
They've got engaged
No intention of a wedding
He's pinched my bird
And he'd probably kick my head in, oh
Now the girls have grown
But I'm sure they still carry on in similar ways
Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
So I'm better off without her anyway
I said I wasn't sad to see her go
But I'm only pretending, you know
Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know
Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know
Oh I'm only pretending, you know

Title: Is This Teh End Of Teh Archfiend?
http://www.TheAwesomeArchfiend.com/
Yup, I got flagged out the arse. Just making this video to explain what's up if anything happens.
Don't worry. Everyone remain calm. I'll figure something out. Or not :)
Just a little false flagging to make things festive here on YouTube.
Mike & Katie's day was quite simply beautiful, the ceremony and wedding breakfast were both hosted by Mitton Hall, in the Ribble Valley.
So our day began with showers of blessings or severe weather warnings depending on your point of view, not that the weather matters a jot if your celebrations are at Mitton Hall, the conservatory gives you an out door feel (Outdoor lighting for photos) and then the rest of the venue is just so special that there are a million and one places for photography all of them indoors.
So first stop Katie's bedroom to deliver her bridal bouquets, we are very lucky to know Katie and her mum Anne really well, besides them both being fabulous Flower Design clients we also did Anne' s wedding last year so it was lovely to work with them both again on Katie and Mike's wedding.
Katie is stunning, and the most loveliest person, she has exceptional taste and gave me really clear direction but still allowed me to design flowers for her & Mike and of course Mitton Hall in my usual over enthusiastic and passionate way, thanks for trusting me Katie!.
The bedrooms are gorgeous too.
There is a choice of ceremony rooms at Mitton but this very modern space was perfect for Mike & Katie, I made two huge LSA Column vases filled to overflowing with Poplar branches, trails of Jasmine, fresh Peonies, Emily & Rosalind Roses & fabulous raspberry Hydrangeas. The foliage I used was very lovely, Katie and I had discussed the choice of varieties and colour we wanted to avoid anything limey or vivid, so I chose some delicate blue grey shades including my all time favourite Hosta this variety is Blue Mouse Ears, Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea', Eucalyptus pulverulenta 'Baby Blue' and some Meyeri Fern which is always a delight to use, it flows and bends beautifully.
In the conservatory I arranged tiny posies in glass vases, Peonies, Emily & Rosalind Roses & Fresh dill with tiny sprigs of "Champagne Grass" Panicum.
On the registrars desk I also used small vases, some were in clear glass whilst others were in etched ruby glass.
The room is huge but has cleverly placed pillars which make it feel quite cosy and intimate. The wide aisle is fabulous for big gowns.
In the tiny nosegays I used fresh fragrant Sweet Peas, pink Jasmine, the David Austin rose Miranda (Ausimmon) is part of the second generation of David Austin's Roses.
This rose is remarkable for the giant blooms made up of many wavy petals, perfectly arranged to form beautiful, almost flat rosettes.
The candelabras were both elegant and luscious, I arranged the flowers in a graceful form, with lots of interest and details like the raspberry pink Begonia Rex leaves and gentle mosses.
Veronica the registrar is an an old friend of ours and she has an uncanny knack of matching her own outfit with that of the wedding, last time we met at The Inn at Whitewell, she wore pale green to compliment the flowers, she conducts a lovey service too, properly sincere and dignified.
For Bernard the groom’s father we’d made an Emily Rose Boutonnière
For the Groom Mike, we especially designed a boutonnière created from sprigs of fresh lily of the Valley used in Katie’s bridal bouquet.
Barbara the Groom’s Mum was wearing a champagne coloured suit with navy trim on her hat, we individually designed a Mothers epaulette corsage to compliment the style colour and design of the outfit chosen, We included a Patience Rose, Crystal Blush Calla, & Gerbera Petals, finished with some navy ribbon.
Katie was given away by her brother and was attended by two of the most beautiful and talented bridesmaid's ever Hannah & Olivia.
Katie's Gown was in Champagne silk with exquisite butterfly beading designed by Jenny Packham. From One & Only in Preston.
Hannah & Olivia provided a reading "The Owl & The Pussy Cat" and musical entertainment "Dream a little Dream" both so beautifully performed there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
The photographer for the day was the lovely Andrew Millard he was a pleasure to work with and seemed to make everyone really relaxed, I can't wait to see his work.
Barry ran the day at Mitton Hall and was first to congratulate the bride and groom with glasses of Champagne.
The Very Happy couple.
Then into the conservatory for cocktails and Champagne
The bouquet I made for Katie was heavenly lots of lovely pale and rose pink Peonies, fresh Lily of the Valley, Rosalind & Emily Peony Roses from David Austin, the style was open, honest and blousy, the stems were semi naked and bound with Champagne Silk and then tied up like ballet slippers.
Hannah & Olivia carried bouquets that complimented Katie's but we included tiny diamante studs in the hearts of one or two of the roses, the handles were bound with the same fabric as their gowns.
The girls did tell me that they'd been quite a few tines bridesmaids before but these were the very best bouquets they'd been given.
Kieran was definitley the best dressed chap at the wedding, he also wore his Rosalind rose Buttonierre with panache.
This is the uber gorgeous Ian & Anne (Brides Mum), we created some fab flowers for their wedding back in September here's a link .They still look like they're on their honeymoon!
Dave & Paul mixologists or bartendenders as they prefer making the most amazing Mojitos here's a link to some great advice and ideas Cocktails
We made Anne an Avant-Garde Style Wrist corsage of signature flowers to include jewels, the shades matched her fabulous Butterfly fascinator.
Lots of old friends here's Maria, you'll recognise her from the Flower Design Supper Club, love the handbag Maria.
The Canapes looked and tasted delicious, they were elegantly presented and brought out in small batches so they were always hot, I love that kind of detail.
Table Flowers:A large silver candelabra with a very Baroque style fresh pale pink peonies and sweet peas arranged around the top of the candelabra foliages and flowers trailing down to the table, the table was dressed with fragrant Rose petals, diamante sprkle and tea lights in frosted glass votives.
The tall floor standing vases from the ceremony remained in situation and provided a beautiful frame for the top table.
The rose tinted glass looked perfect with these tiny fragrant posies on the top table.
I dressed the white chocolate cake with more roses and Lily of the valley.
The whole atmosphere was extremely elegant.
I used A silver fruit bowl containing an opulent mass of fresh peonies, sweet peas and fragrant herbs on the tables that had low designs they are an excellent partner for the “Baroque” style candelabra
Sally & I had been to visit a couple of weeks ago link and were seriously impressed, unfortunately since then banqueting manager Alana has left and the lovely Rachel is now in charge of all things banqeting, she was incredibly accomodating removing the huge quantity of good quality silk flowers to make way for our fresh blooms, many thanks for making this so painless for us (Some venues are very precious about their artificial flowers).
This whole day was blissful from start to finish, we were so delighted to be part of it, huge congratulations to all of the family but especially to Mike & Katie have a wonderful life together, be happy always.

Title: At My Wedding Twitterring and Facebooking at the Altar
This was just done to be funny - we really don't Facebook THAT often :). A special thanks to Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, MD. If you are in the area and are looking for someplace with great community, children, and small group ministries check us out at http://mountainchiristian.org. I have a lot of family scattered around the country and we all use Facebook a lot to keep in touch. So when Tracy and I were engaged, most of my family found out via Facebook because we updated our statuses. I surprised not only my guests, but also Tracy by pulling out my phone and posting on Facebook and Twitter from the altar during out wedding. I had her phone ready in my pocket, so when she asked for it I could hand it to her. No one knew about this except the minister, and myself. Here is the twitter post: http://twitter.com/TheSoftwareJedi/status/5925126890
