Trimming your Hair

hair trim

Often Brides opt not to get haircuts regularly because they want to grow their hair out for their wedding. However, when you don’t get your hair trimmed the hair becomes prone to split ends. Once the split ends start they will split all the way up the hair shaft, making your hair thinner and unhealthy. It will also take volume and luster away from your hair. The average person’s hair grows about ½ inch to an inch a month, therefore you need to get your hair trimmed at least once every two months. You will need to get it trimmed sooner if you start noticing split ends. It is best to get all of your split ends gone to get full lustrous hair. No one wants long hair that is unhealthy and thin, so regular trims DO matter.

Cockscomb Valentine Wreath

heart wreath

Martha Stewart always has the best ideas! This wreath is actually meant for Valentine’s Day, but I think it would work perfect for a wedding. These heart shaped wreaths are a sure fire way to spice up the entryway of your reception. Hang one on each of the doors of the reception hall and you have a breathtaking focal point that is sure catch your guest’s attention. This design could be altered to fit almost any wedding by simply using a different flower. For example, I think red roses would make this design simply breathtaking and give it a more elegant look for an evening event.

Tools and Materials
Heart-shaped 10-inch polystyrene wreath form (available at florists’ shops)
Utility knife with a saw blade
Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
Several bunches of dried cockscomb (each with about eight stems)
3 yards of satin ribbon
T-pins
Floral wire

Cockscomb Valentine Wreath How-To
Round off the edges of the wreath form with the utility knife; beveled edges will let flowers flow over the sides. Trim stems off flowers, leaving a 1/4-inch base. Apply glue to bases, and arrange flowers — tops facing up — on form, grouping them by color. Cut a yard of ribbon, fold it in half, and attach it to the back of the wreath with a T-pin to form a loop for hanging. After hanging the wreath from a tack in the wall, tie remaining ribbon into a bow with long tails, and mount the bow on the tack with floral wire. Source
