Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION:
What color place card holders should I use for my reception?
The wedding is set for an autumn wedding (late September). The color scheme is red and gold. I'm not sure if I should use a brush metal place holder I saw in the Exclusively Weddings catalog or the gold metal place holder I saw on the same company's website with a red and gold table setting. Please help me.
- ANSWER:
  Well if its autumn use orange, a nice red, or even a night light pink. Yellow is wayyy too bright it may blind people but gold is a good choice.
QUESTION:
Does anyone know any good sites for wedding ceremony and reception accessories??
I have tried Exclusively weddings and Davids Bridal but some things are way too expensive for the quality! There has got to be a better place! Please help!!!
- ANSWER:
  Some of the best "wedding" accessories aren't at bridal shops or on line bridal boutiques. They're at places like Bed, Bath and Beyond, Pier 1, The Christmas Tree Shop, Homegoods or places where they sell "home decor items" or "entertaining" items.
  
  For example, today I saw the cutest place card holders in the Pier 1 catalog. They were pumpkin place card holders. If I were getting married in the fall, I would want these place card holders. They were really elegant and nice looking. Also, sometimes I'll go to Homegoods and I'll see vases, fish bowl centerpieces, votive candles, pillar holders and other decor items. I think, "wow, I could put a few simple flowers in that vase, I could have the start of a really great centerpiece."
  
  At The Christmas Tree Shop, you can get ribbon and stationary. They also have items you could buy to make your own guest book or other DIY projects.
  
  Also, these places tend to be cheaper than weddings shops or online retailers. Items in Homegoods are often marked down from department store prices. In addition, you can get great sales at places like Pier 1.
  
  Take a look around this weekend. Get creative. Look in bridal magazines for ideas and then find cheaper materials at these stores and make your own.
QUESTION:
I have a Sony DSC H9. It is not a DSLR. I also have lenses and filters exclusively for this camera.?
However, I want a better camera. It has been great and I use it almost daily for stock photos. I have shot several weddings, baptisms, parties, and have already had three photo shoots for senior pictures.I also shoot 100% of my families photos. I am only about 18 months into paid photography and I love (photoshop CS4 extended). I feel with a better camera and equipment, I cam excel.

QUESTION:
Why are most weddings entirely about the bride and her ego, rather than the COUPLE that has chosen to marry?
All my friends who have gotten married have chosen big weddings, and with few exceptions the day has been almost exclusively about the bride. many couples, after getting engaged, have sent annoucement emails with a picture OF THE RING...not the happy couple who has just decided to spend their lives together. the wedding planning process consists almost entirely of the bride envisioning her day- not THEIR day. this phenomenon is illustrated in an exteme way by the show "bridezillas".

another interesting footnote to this observation is what I have coined "post wedding depression" where the bride no longer has a big climax to look forward to and realizes that marriage beyond her wedding "dog and pony show" is quite unexceptional. Finally, there is a billboard I pass each day on my way to work...advertising a wedding facility . the bride's image appears on the billboard twice, but the grooms image is on the edge and half of his face is cut off. What is up with this????
- ANSWER:
  I have found that with my upcoming wedding I have had to do most of the planning, not that I want to, my fiance has to work long hours and than when he does get home he has his homework to do,plus his side business, so the planning has been thrown on me. I try to get him involved but its always "I don;t want to talk about it now", and my freinds who have been planning their wedding run into the old "what ever you want" so its not always the brides wanting to be in control and it seeming about her, it more like its pushed upon us by the guys
QUESTION:
Where can I get these cheaper?
I've looked and looked for the perfect cake serving set and toasting glasses and I finally found them. But they're way out of my price range. They're from Exclusively Weddings and they are "Hand-Decorated with Soft Rose Austrian Crystals". Its costs .00 for the champage flutes and .00 for the cake serving set. If anyone knows where I can find these cheaper, I'd appreciate it. Also, it looks like it could be kinda easy to make if I had the right supplies, it just looks like wired beading wrapped around the handles...if anyone can reccomend a site with the supplies too..Thanks!

Here's the link to see: http://www.exclusivelyweddings.com/Hand-Decorated_Champagne_Toasting_Flutes_with_Soft_Rose_Austrian_Crystals_4.html~idProduct~3310~idCategory~10~seq~4~totRecs~28
- ANSWER:
  You can do this yourself! Buy the color beads that you want and clear elastic (usually in the beading section). Not only will you get the exact same look but at a far cheaper price plus the satisfaction of knowing this is something special that was hand made by you.
QUESTION:
Can USCG Enlisted members wear dress whites?
I'm trying to plan my wedding, and would love to be able to wear dress whites, but i'm only an E4 in the USCG and all the images i google have officers exclusively in dress whites. Can enlisted members wear dress whites for their own weddings?
- ANSWER:
  You could try something silly like actually reading the uniform regulations... Chapter 3 covers uniforms, and on page 3-1 it says that the Formal Dress White are only mandated for officers. It is an optional uniform item for any enlisted person that wants it - but I wouldn't recommend it, as you are talking about a 0 expense that you will wear ONCE.
  
  I recommend just going for the Full Dress Blue (as shown on page 3-8). You'll have to buy full sized medals and make sure you have your white shirt - but other than that, there won't be an expense for you.
  
  Dinner Dress Blue (the Black uniform (or with white jacket, depending on the time of year) from the Navy) is an option, but you are still talking about a 0-350 expense for something that you will wear VERY rarely over your career (if you still fit in it later!!).

QUESTION:
Does your mood dictate how you answer a question in Singles&Dating?
Or any of the other forums for that matter...say you are feeling jealous because in Weddings forum, for example, the groom is asking a question you wished your ex asked or some mistress is asking how to get someone husband exclusively, etc. Those last examples were just that, examples. I tend to allow my mood to dictate my answers then once I begin typing I reread it only to delete it when it's apparent I'm envious, hateful, rude, etc. I then enter an experience unemotional answer.
- ANSWER:
  Yes, it does affect the way I answer.
  In my opinion, I think one reason why others join here is for them to get insights on similar situations shared by (to my surprise) quite a number of yahoo answer members. People ask questions so they can learn from our experiences. It will be good to be a little less restricting in your answers. Let your mood express your honest opinion. Leave it to the reader whose opinion he/she will choose.
QUESTION:
Need business idea's..?
I want to start my own business from home. I am very creative, love working with shapes, colors, have such a great sense of style. I was thinking of designing real floral centerpieces, only chic designs incorporated with rich colors, and abstract designs. I want to not just create a typical centerpiece, but actually incorporate art in to these pieces. I have no background working with flowers. I am going to buy a few books, abstract vases and rich flowers and try out a couple of designs. I was thinking of creating at least 20-30 pieces and creating a catalogue and handing them out to banquet halls and advertising at churches (where most weddings take place). What do you guys think of this idea? Do you think brides/grooms would JUST hire/purchase centerpieces from a stage decorator? Would exclusively selling ONLY creative centerpieces limit me from gaining business from weddings? Any suggestions? Do you think I should also sell these centerpieces as decor for homes? If so, how would I market decor for homes? If I market my centerpieces only for weddings I know where to start my marketing..but for decor? How would I go about?

Suggestions/Ideas needed please! Thanks
Thank you MJ.. can I get your contact info. I would love to ask you more questions.. you seem to have very good advice! Thanks
- ANSWER:
  Brides and grooms will buy what they feel is beautiful and that they can afford. A product sells when there is a demand - created or natural. A catalogue is an excellent idea. But it must be as stunning as your designs. I would stay with the high end creations - homes decor and weddings - because you are good at it and enjoy the work, although I feel you need a stronger advertising plan. Perhaps a sustained saturation mail campaign to high end neighborhoods. Introduce your beautiful designs to furniture and accent stores, decorators - every contact you have, flower shops, wedding dress boutiques gift shops. Trade Shows - (for retailers only) Do the centerpieces at cost for organizations in your town, for fashion shows. You could perhaps have an exhibition in a chic hotel lobby - alone or in combination with another product. As you were a stage decorator you understand the importance of backdrops and display. Its all awesome work. Be ready for next Xmas - it's not too early! Catalogues are expensives, what would be cost effective are large photos in a chic personal folder with your business card of course. I cannot stress the importance of a perfect photo of your work. A professional photographer can make it all come to life. And if taken in different backgrounds can be be quite tempting and inspiring - which makes me think perhaps some of your ads could be a greeting cards with a word bout your Co. when you open the card. People often display or keep a beautiful card and would certainly remember your name. Good luck with those ads and don't forget a short exciting bio about yourself.
QUESTION:
Is it normal for an even-tempered, awesome woman to become a fire-breathing bridezilla the week of her wedding?
I absolutely adore my dad’s fiancée, and I am delighted that she will be officially joining our family on Saturday, but this week she has been driving me absolutely insane with her bridezilla antics, and I don’t know if I just need to hang tight and ride out the emotional roller coaster, or if I should be concerned. She has a very demanding job and is not one to cave under pressure, but yet she has totally become unraveled by this wedding lately! Normally she is the kind of chillaxed person people gravitate towards, but lately she has been shrill and tense. I was alarmed earlier this week when she just burst into tears about some problem with the caterers (which has since been resolved), and a variety of other stresses and snafus that she would customarily handle calmly and efficiently. She seems to be stressed to the max despite having a wonderful wedding coordinator, an assistant, and a loving family willing to do whatever we can to make her special day amazing, and that worries me. I am wondering if the months of planning, the exorbitant expense, and all the energy poured into this one day is truly worthwhile. It has totally consumed our lives lately. An entire guest room has been converted into a makeshift office exclusively for the wedding, and virtually every conversation has been dominated by discussions about the "Big Day." And this is actually the second time we’ve gone through all this because they were supposed to have gotten married last fall, but the wedding had to be postponed last-minute when her dad suffered a mild heart attack. I wholeheartedly love her, but I haven’t wanted to be around her lately because she totally freaks out on me without just cause, and suddenly is treating me like a kid. I got a beautiful henna tattoo of a peacock on my arm to cover up a nasty bruise from an accident right before my prom, and she is seriously wigging out that it won’t have faded by Saturday, and claiming that it is distracting and destroys the look of my gown. I'm trying my best to get it off, and she’s still acting like I killed her kitten or something. Then she totally lit into me last night because I came home slightly late, and never before has she cared about my curfew. She is more like my friend than a parental figure. I have poured out a tremendous amount of time and effort into trying to make this day as awesome as possible for her, and she’s harping over the smallest things! I created little guides to LA for all the out-of-town guests and individually tailored planned activities for them, helped coordinate the rehearsal dinner, Sunday brunch and bachelorette party (even though I wasn't invited to it!), painted signs, and have been practicing for weeks to sing at the wedding. I’ve also learned some of her dad & my dad’s favorite songs to sing for them at the brunch, which is on Father’s Day. I’m frustrated (hence the reason for this vent) that she is acting like she’s frustrated with me! She is younger & hipper than my parents (she’s 33 and this will be her first marriage), and we usually get along fantastically. My dad is completely enamored with her, and they are happy together. So why isn't she in a state of bliss right now?

So, to sum up my questions:
1. Is this sort of behavior relatively normal for a bride-to-be?
2. Are extravagant weddings genuinely worth the time, money and stress in your opinion?
3. How does the bride feel after the wedding? I’m asking because I devoted an immense amount of time to planning my prom, had the most spectacular night of my life, and am now kind of depressed that it’s all over. Do brides have a similar reaction? Do I need to worry about even more drama-o-rama after the wedding?

Okay, apologies that this is so long, and I hope your eyes haven’t gone on strike from being forced into overtime by reading this whole spiel, but I could really use some feedback.

Thanks in advance for your answers. : )
Each time I ask a question I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have such thoughtful, genuine contacts who kindly take the time to read my verbiage and write excellent, helpful answers.
The wedding was magnificent, and I’m happy to report that the “bridezilla” has morphed back into the delightful, brilliant, amazing woman I’ve been so thrilled to have joining our family. We are privileged to have her in our lives.

To the brides-to-be who answered: I hope you have lovely weddings that will create sweet memories for you to cherish for life.

To all my contacts: ((((((HUGS))))))) and thank you. You are AWESOME.

And to those who complained about my mini-novella: I once again apologize for the length of the question, and would like to remind you that if for whatever reason you don’t want to read a question, then please simply skip over it and don’t bother wasting your time or mine answering with a complaint; it’s unproductive to all involved.

It was incredibly hard to pick a BA!
Oh, and a special thanks to Greta for the henna-removing tips; they worked! You rule.
- ANSWER:
  1. Is this sort of behavior relatively normal for a bride-to-be?
  
  A: Fear of the unknown, weither it be bad weather, strange behaivior in relatives that may cause a scene on the big day, or flighty vendors are usually what put brides into "Freakout mode" For many, its too costly of an event for things to go "wrong" and many brides are so consumed with things going their way, that even the kindest people, such as youreself, get caught in the whirlwind of feeling more like a burden then the great helper you sound like.
  
  2. Are extravagant weddings genuinely worth the time, money and stress in your opinion?
  A: Great question! It depends on the person. I planned our wedding with a tight budget. We had rain on our big day, a tornado touched down during photos, wrong colored bridesmaid boquets, and the priest misprounounced our last name!!!......but I didnt give a hoot about it....others had to tell me about it later because it was the most amazing day ever to us. In the end,there were certain luxuries that we were greatful for such as a limo, photographer, and cannolis instead of a wedding cake.
  
  3. How does the bride feel after the wedding? I’m asking because I devoted an immense amount of time to planning my prom, had the most spectacular night of my life, and am now kind of depressed that it’s all over. Do brides have a similar reaction? Do I need to worry about even more drama-o-rama after the wedding?
  
  A: hahah! Walking down the isle after I actually felt like I ate thanksgiving dinner. Tired, satisfied, warm, happily and giggly.
  During the reception I was worried if I would have enough time to thank everyone for coming, worried someone would step on my gibunga humunga dress, drank half the drinks people would give me (I wanted to remember the night after all!!!!) and just danced my butt off with all of the people I loved. It was the closest to heaven in my opinion, having all the people you care about in one room. DRAMA-O-Rama? that was finding out the next day what part of the wedding party did what, who had to be carried away for having one to many, and who danced with my grandma to "Superfreak". I hope you had fun at your prom, but know there are better things to come in your life.....it's not over yet hun......not by a long shot!!!
  
  PACE!
QUESTION:
Black men only attracted to light skinned or non-black females?
Now to be frank with you- yes there are. There are brothers who will only exclusively date non-black females (that look like the ones you usually see in music videos and the Kim Kardashian types). The most common interracial coupling you'll see on TV involving a black person is usually a black man with an non-black female- which is shown A LOT.

I happen to come from a HUGE black family where I have a lot more cousins who are males, than females (it sucked being the only girl in my age group) and brothers. I've gone to many weddings and a majority of my cousins are currently married or in a relationship with black females who come in all shades and guess what (many are dark-skinned- shocker!). In fact my aunt and uncle just celebrated the renewal of their vows after 18 years of marriage.

Now it is a fact that marriage rates in the black community have decreased in the past twenty years, but that doesn't necessarily mean that black women aren't wanted by their men. It is also a fact that their are more black women then men in this country. What I don't get is why black women (in particular) are so skeptical of dating outside of their race. You cannot only find love in a black partner- you could find it in a person of another race as well.

All I'm saying is- don't believe the hype. If what I stated in my question were true then there wouldn't be a black race- more of a mixed race LOL and also that black women shouldn't turn down the idea of interracial dating (which many do, more than any other race). You may actually find the one in someone who you least expected
- ANSWER:
  I agree with you, I have dated interracial, but I have a preference for black men. What you may fail to realize, is their is still an overwhelmingly large amount of black males that like black females. I was surprised to learn even the ones who do date non-black females still have an attraction to black women.
  Challenges are hard and their tends to be at times a communication gap between individuals of the black community. A large part of it is fear, insecurity, and good ol fashion distrust which stems from a long line of abuse or a traumatic event in life.
  
  Malcolm X wrote in his book that if you put a white woman on the corner, the black man gets excited, but if you put a black woman on the white man also gets excited, but he hides it better, so there you go.
  
  I never turned down the idea of interracial dating, I just feel and have been proven right that my spiritual soul-mate is my beautiful black BROTHER!
  
  Peace
  
  PS I am all for interracial dating, its just not for me, but I respect the choice of others. Ironically I was raised in an interracial relationship. my step mother is Mexican, she raised me and my bother since the age of 2 and 5. So I fully understand both sides of the story.
QUESTION:
Don't you agree with Conservatives that same-sex marriage is also an economic issue, so we must be against it?
Reuters) - Tourism operators in Fort Lauderdale are hoping that New York's gay marriage law will bring new business to the sunny Florida city.

This week, they stepped up efforts to promote Fort Lauderdale as a honeymoon destination for same-sex couples from New York.

"This is a great opportunity," said Richard Grey, the owner of the Royal Palms Resorts and Spa. The 50-room luxury hotel, whose clients are exclusively gay men, launched the Royal Bliss honeymoon package on Monday.

For ,400 the Royal Palms will treat guests to a six-day vacation that includes limo pick up at the airport, spa treatments and champagne lunches by the pool.

Some of Gray's local competitors are also promoting honeymoon packages that celebrate gay marriage in New York. The Preferred Pride package at the Atlantic Resort and Spa offers oceanfront rooms starting at 9 per night.

Hotels are not the only businesses seeking to profit from the hundreds of daily wedding celebrations that began to take place in New York on Sunday.

Wedding planners, cake bakers and jewelry makers in New York City and throughout the state, have already reported healthy trade.

But Fort Lauderdale is one of the first cities outside New York State, to try to cash in on the Marriage Equality Act.

On Sunday its tourism bureau placed an ad in the style section of the New York Times.

"After Your I Do's Consider Our Proposal," it said, encouraging readers to visit the city's official visitors site, for the chance to win a free Fort Lauderdale honeymoon.

The move underscores the importance of gay travelers - and New York tourists - to Fort Lauderdale. The city of 165,000 has more than 30 guesthouses that cater to homosexual visitors, and a vibrant gay community centered in Wilton Manors. There is also a large population of retired New Yorkers.

"Most hotels have a romantic package (for same-sex couples) of sorts," said Jessica Taylor, a spokeswoman for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention Center and Visitors Bureau. "With the fact that a large part of our customer base comes from New York, this is a great opportunity."

Local tourism officials estimate the city hosted 1 million gay travelers in 2010. New York to Fort Lauderdale is the busiest air route in the country with more than 8.5 million passengers per year.

A COMPETITIVE MARKET

Wesley Combs, a market analyst who helps companies to tap into the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) market, said that Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Hawaii and San Francisco are also well positioned to provide honeymoons to New York's newlyweds.

Combs said some hotels in these cities are making the effort to celebrate gay relationships just like they celebrate heterosexual weddings. They picture homosexual couples in ads and teach staff to cater to the needs of LGBT couples, avoiding awkward moments when a same-sex couple checks in.

Combs's firm, Witeck-Combs Communications, conducted a nationwide survey of gay households with Harris Interactive earlier this year. It found 65 percent of gay and lesbian adults planned to take a leisure trip this summer.

Cities most likely to attract gay honeymooners, Combs said, are those where there is a tolerant atmosphere.

"A simple act of holding a hand for a gay couple can be viewed as inappropriate" he said.

"When you celebrate something as momentous as a honeymoon, you want to make sure you are free to enjoy who you are, without any fear of stress, or any kind of repercussions, because you're trying to express your love and affection for your significant other." he said.

David Paisley, an analyst for Community Marketing Inc, predicts that New York City will be the top honeymoon destination for LGBT couples from other parts of the United States.

New York ranked as the number one leisure destination in Community Marketing's 2010 survey of gay travelers. Nineteen percent of respondents said they visited the Big Apple last year.

"It's the place that's been number one (on the rankings) for a decade," Paisley said. "The fact that people can get married in New York now and have their honeymoon there is very attractive."

QUESTION:
is he ever going to propose?
i've been with my guy for two years exclusively. we've lived together for over one, and everything's been great. i have a promise ring that he gave me on our one-year anniversary, when he promised that one day he would marry me. he finishes out college in one years' time. I'm already in my career. thing is, since we live together, and have been for some time now, do you think he'll ever actually ask me to get engaged/married, or might it just stay like this for a loonnngg time? ladies who have cohabited, how long did it take him/her before you were engaged/married? it doesn't really seem like he has any intentions any time soon. if we're shopping and i see something wedding/engagemnt related, i might casually point it out to him, and he knows that i love the weddings section on Y! answers, but i don't think it's either clicked, or he just doesn't want to ask me. we moved in together because it was the best thing to do for many various reasons, and I don't regret it. but do you think that now, the next step may never come?
- ANSWER:
  Hi Ashley,
  
  I feel for you.
  
  I couldn't wait to have that engagement ring on my finger. It shows everyone how committed you are as a couple and it elevates your relationship from boyfriend/girlfriend to "we are going to spend the rest of our lives together"!
  
  Anyway, I think that you should talk to your boyfriend about how you feel. I think that it is particularly important given that you have PCOS. PCOS can make us women feel even more insecure in ourselves and feel all the more impatient for engagement, wedding and babies!
  
  I have PCOS and my fiance just proposed 2 weeks ago. I had to wait ages for him to ask me. He told me over a year ago that he wanted to marry me...but it took him all that time to pay for the ring, design the ring, ask my parents..wait for the perfect moment etc.
  
  We are also trying to conceive now and have been for 7 months. We both know how hard it can be to conceive with PCOS and therefore we are trying to conceive now rather than leave it for a few years (I am 26 and he is 28).
  
  Maybe you should approach the subject with your boyfriend by focussing on whether he wants to have a family with you one day. If he says "yes of course", then maybe explain to him that it will probably take years of fertility treatment etc. to conceive the first baby. Also emphasise the point that it is FAR better to have a family when you're younger than older when you have PCOS. Even if you're not ready for kids yet...this may prompt him to start thinking about the steps required to take before you try to conceive. I.e. engagement, marriage!
  
  ANyway, you're lucky you're in love and in a great relationship. You are also lucky that he has given you a promise ring.!!!
QUESTION:
Singing the wedding day blues…?
So here we are following a long engagement, happy to at last share an intimate church wedding and reception with family and friends we've known for a very long while.

Sounds great, right? Well, in the way that counts most — yes. Then, again, the exceptions were so glaring that they beg us to decide whether we ought to read anything into what transpired — or not.

In summary…

A hefty percentage of our invitees couldn't be bothered to return their postage-stamped RSVP card (including family); those who *should have*, neglected to plan a bridal shower or a bachelor party; a member of our bridal party left about 3/4 into our reception (no fight, no reason); one set of parents decided not to toast us (our first and only marriage, and we are not estranged!); about 1/3 of those who declined our invite chose to acknowledge our marriage exclusively on Facebook (no card, no call, no personal email); several people asked where we were registered yet not a solitary guest purchased a gift off our registry (the usual places, starting at ); a bunch of people, including a bridal party member, didn't think it necessary to wish us well by card (and we're "card people" who hang on to those forever); we were falsely accused of failure to pay the church fee even though we have a receipt and a cleared check to prove otherwise; some of our wedding & reception help dropped the bomb days beforehand that they had competing social engagements and could not be on hand at the time previously discussed; those for whom we had honorariums skipped out before we could greet or pay them — only for our wedding coordinator to relay during what was supposed to be the start of our honeymoon that we needed to take care of that beforehand (delaying our getaway), etc., etc.

............................................................

A good percentage of our guests included people with whom we've celebrated birthdays, weddings and the like long before our own special day took place. We have a clear conscience when it comes to our own behavior towards others, so little did we expect them to rub us the wrong way on such a major occasion in our own lives. Yet that's exactly what happened.

Questions…

The question, ultimately, is how best to proceed? Chalk this up to a flakey, flukey sign of the times or an intentional slight? Is there a diplomatic way to ask some of our most overt offenders WWYT? (What were you thinking?) Or should we ignore the OTT insensitivity even at the risk that it will annoy or otherwise haunt us for the foreseeable future?

Thanks for weighing in…
- ANSWER:
  I, myself, would have to ask why they chose to do all this and be this way. Especially because you have celebrated other occasions with them. You should confront them by saying, "I was just wondering why exactly you didn't..." do all of the things they should have done. Say it in a friendly manner though, therefore they can't have a smart ass reply.
QUESTION:
Where can I get these cheaper?
I've looked and looked for the perfect cake serving set and toasting glasses and I finally found them. But they're way out of my price range. They're from Exclusively Weddings and they are "Hand-Decorated with Soft Rose Austrian Crystals". Its costs .00 for the champage flutes and .00 for the cake serving set. If anyone knows where I can find these cheaper, I'd appreciate it. Also, it looks like it could be kinda easy to make if I had the right supplies, it just looks like wired beading wrapped around the handles...if anyone can reccomend a site with the supplies too..Thanks!

QUESTION:
Need business idea's..?
I want to start my own business from home. I am very creative, love working with shapes, colors, have such a great sense of style. I was thinking of designing real floral centerpieces, only chic designs incorporated with rich colors, and abstract designs. I want to not just create a typical centerpiece, but actually incorporate art in to these pieces. I have no background working with flowers. I am going to buy a few books, abstract vases and rich flowers and try out a couple of designs. I was thinking of creating at least 20-30 pieces and creating a catalogue and handing them out to banquet halls and advertising at churches (where most weddings take place). What do you guys think of this idea? Do you think brides/grooms would JUST hire/purchase centerpieces from a stage decorator? Would exclusively selling ONLY creative centerpieces limit me from gaining business from weddings? Any suggestions? Do you think I should also sell these centerpieces as decor for homes? If so, how would I market decor for homes? If I market my centerpieces only for weddings I know where to start my marketing..but for decor? How would I go about?

Suggestions/Ideas needed please! Thanks
