Tip of the Week

In Victorian times, before men and women freely communicated their feelings about each other, it was common to communicate through flowers. Each flower had a definite meaning; men could express their devotion through certain posies, and women could reciprocate those feelings or let the man know that they weren`t interested. You can do the same with your wedding flowers----add some ivy to convey `wedded bliss,` or violets to express faithfulness.
