After today's weddings, we picked up the latest Alison Krauss CD, then grabbed a couple of Frappuccinos at Starbuck's.  Spring is here, and Mother's Day is approaching, and it seems everywhere we look, there are flowers.

The back cover of Alison's CD features a dressing room vignette with a vase of dried roses.  Starbuck's featured gift cards for Mother's Day with a cartoon flower envelope.  The window dressers at department stores and the prints at fabric stores feature flowers.  It's no coincidence.  Flowers add color and elegance.  Flowers set the mood, whether it's a store display or the Today show set.  And when it comes to planning your wedding, you don't have to think too hard about how to help set the mood you want.  Arrangements at the bar or in the bathrooms and petals scattered on the tables can help to unify your event throughout the entire location.  Many florists (us included) have for rent grand arrangements you can use to greet your guests in the entryway.

When it comes to setting moods and unifying themes, the experts choose flowers.  Your wedding deserves nothing less than what the experts choose.
