I remember working on a important wedding I did at the Marble House and the florist was adorning the urn with loose flowers.
I asked her "Why are you mucking it up?
The urn is beautiful and so are your flowers just leave it alone.
The Clinton Wedding ceremony had no ribbons, bows, rose pedals or seating signs.
Just a simple white extra wide runner. Very classy and very simple.
Yes In society weddings less is more and quality over quantity should rule the day!
