					Many religious denominations are
celebrating the quality of &ldquo;Motherhood&rdquo; in every woman by giving a
single rose or carnation to the female members in their Mothers Day
congregations. While the origins of this practice are not known, the
tradition is a widespread practice in New Thought spiritual communities
such as Agape, Unity and Centers for Spiritual Living &ndash; formerly known
as Church of Religious Science. Throughout California Catholic,
Protestant, Unitarian and independent Christian churches are starting
to adopt the Mother&rsquo;s Day floral gift tradition. 
Ministers, priests and church lay leaders observe that while &ldquo;it is
better to give than to receive&rdquo; honoring the entire female congregation
with the gift of a single flower often results in reciprocal benefits.

		We&rsquo;re in awe of the creativity and resourcefulness of DIY brides that choose to be their own florist. We are meeting many more brides and grooms this year who are scouting out the big savings that a well planned DIY wedding flower strategy can produce.
	
		While DIY wedding flowers projects are not for everyone - we&rsquo;ve observed that the wedding teams that do this best have three things in common: they are well organized, flexible and they understand the subtleties of purchasing wholesale bulk flowers.
	
		Organization begins with being realistic about what you can accomplish 24-48 hours before the wedding. Most types of live cut flowers need to be purchased and arranged during that time frame.
	
		A retail florists artistry, expertise and labor is a valuable commodity that makes up a substantial portion of the wedding floral bill. The most successful DIYs we&rsquo;ve met are supported by a volunteer floral team that replace the florists labor.]]></description>
