Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Daisy Jane by America

Flyin’ me back to Memphis
Gotta find my Daisy Jane
well the summer’s gone
and I hope she’s feelin’ the same

Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody’s Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya’ See
Cause They Got No Place To Be
That’s Why I’m Starting With Me

Lilac Breeze by Eels

Lilac blowing through the warm summer air
Hint of your perfume
The smell of your hair
Sun is setting and the crows all cry
Electrical storm forming in the sky

Tiptoe through the Tulips by Tiny Tim

Tiptoe from the garden, by the garden of a willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
Knee deep in flowers we’ll stray, we’ll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight, will you pardon me?

During the Easter holiday, pastel colors are a given. On Fiftyflowers.com, by clicking on the salmon pink color icon, it showed me a variation of flowers in that color, which were mystical Easter inspirations. The Novelty Light Pink Salmon Spray roses, for example, are a gorgeous sort of pastel pinks that would easily brighten up any Easter brunch table as a centerpiece. I also love pastel greens, blues and yellows during the Easter holiday; I thought I’d see what Fiftyflowers.com had to offer in those colors. Not to my surprise I found so many choices. In the green section, my favorite, because green is so fresh and revitalizing , I found an amazing selection of Orchids. I must say my favorite was the Green Dendrobium Orchid. What a tasty but simple statement an orchid would make in anyone’s home during the Easter holiday.

Clean simple classy white, always a modern yet tasty choice. White daisies, roses and lilies can brighten up any dining room table. Just imagine, several of those gorgeous white roses or daisies and votive candles floating in a wide shallow vase in the restroom for guests to enjoy, as always, beauty lies in simplicity.

On Fiftyflowers.com also check out the variety of flowers in the peach, mauve, blush and lavender colored sections; you will find plenty of flowers to brighten your families Easter holiday!

Let us begin with the bridesmaids. When it comes to flowers, saying that they need some, would be an understatement. Bridesmaids in their beautiful dresses really set the stage for the bride to walk down the aisle. Their flowers are also very important, and their bouquets should be color coded with the wedding colors. They can be a little smaller then that of the bride’s; after all, the bride’s bouquet is the one that should really stick out! The groomsmen should all have the same boutonniere, but again a bit smaller, or somehow not as accentuating as that of the groom.

Then there are the parents: let’s begin with the Father of the Bride being that he is an important part in the ceremony itself. He should have a boutonniere as beautiful and noticeable as that of the groom, though maybe a couple shades darker or lighter than that of the groom.Then there is the father of the groom, who is not as involved in the ceremony itself but should also be presented with a beautiful boutonnière, the same one as the father of the bride preferably.

Then come the mothers, they are equally important as the fathers, but they don’t get bouquets, that would be overkill. I think it’s a classy and respectful expression for their children, whether it be the bride or groom to present them with two beautiful corsages, (one for each) to wear during the ceremony. Then there are all the other aspects to the wedding party that add the frosting to the cake. First the flower girl, in some cases flower boy, no matter what, fresh rose petals are a must. At Fiftyflowers.com you can find a wide variety of single colored and multi colored roses petals to choose from, they will have plenty of fun tossing those petals down the aisle and of course feel very important.

The ring bearer, which in a traditional wedding would be a little boy, should have a miniature boutonniere made especially for him; he carries something very important, therefore, he should fit in with the rest of the men in the wedding party! Then last but not least are the ushers. Teenage boys are always good for that, and one single rose that coincides with the wedding colors as a boutonniere would be enough to mark them as part of the wedding party.
