I'm so excited about the great advice we're getting here! I'm forwarding every bit to her.
To those whose moms are taking over--I feel for you! Had my mother been living in Georgia when I got married, she would have tried to take over. This is why we got married here! I'm letting ASLFRose do her own thing because I remember dealing with Mother's snarky comments from afar.
I love the peppermint suggestions! Maybe she'll want to incorporate peppermints in several ways--peppermint carnations in bouquets maybe?
These wedding websites are great!
