Wedding flowers, colors

I went to a Saturday wedding in Advent (Catholic) just last year. Not a prohibition. Lent is another story though. I had to wait to get both of my kids baptised until after Easter.

Strange. I thought Church practice was to get babies baptized as soon as possible after birth, because unbaptized babies who die cannot go to heaven. When I was born, my parents' parish's pastor was after them to get me baptized ASAP. I was baptized about three weeks after I was born (and during Advent).

You're supposed to have a baby baptized within 2-3 weeks of birth. However the RCC pretty much rolls with "well God's merciful they'll go to heaven" these days. Even if waiting til the end of Lent were a legit option (and I'm pretty sure it isn't technically ok) if the baby was in danger of dying s/he would be able to receive the sacrament anyway.

Yep, and even nowadays, I was taught that a person not of the cloth can do a baptism in certain circumstances (emergencies when priest or deacon not available). And really, so many churches observe so many different things these days. Our church does things differently than my in-laws church. And my brother and sister in law were married by a priest in a park (outdoor ceremonies are supposed to be a big Catholic no-no).

Both of my kids are late December babies, and Lent started in February. Had to plan around my moms work schedule, plus Godparents schedule (we live 2-4 hours away from all of our family), and our church wouldn't do more than 4 on a Sunday. Which put us into Lent, and therefore after Lent. Both kids were about 4 months. No biggie.

The outside the church thing typically comes down to the bishop. So of course if the bishop's less particular he grants more permissions.

I love fire and ice roses but I'm afraid too many of them in one place with make a "swirl effect" like Creme Savers candy.

Christiangirl, that second bouquet is absolutely artistic and I'm glad you were able to pick out the difference in the 2! I used peppermint carnations in my wedding but there's such thing as too much of a good thing so I tempered them with red carnations, Christmas balls, and evergreens.

KSU, those autumn flowers are in credible and FSUZeta is right!
