We are using colorful, seasonal flowers in all the centerpieces. We will be cutting most of the flowers ourselves, on a farm where Bri used to work called Maple Acres. It is right down the street from Nica & Doug's house. We are using mason jars as containers because they are simple and because Nica & Bri used to raise caterpillars in mason jars when they were little.
We invite you all to take the flowers home after the ceremony to enjoy them. Not only are these flowers perfect for our party, they are locally grown, which means we are supporting a local business. Even better, we are supporting a local farm.
This is good because
1. It is more sustainable for the environment to buy locally.
2. We know the farmer and his family and want to keep him in business.
3. This area is being overrun with housing developments that are being built on farmland and we want to keep our Pennsylvania farmland as a treasured resource.
Most of the flowers are zinnias and they don't last too long out of water, so Bri's former employers, Priscilla & John Fosnocht graciously offered to help with the hand held bouquets and personal flowers. Thanks Flowers by Priscilla.
