Winter Rose Red poinsettias in tall glass vases with ornaments repeating colors of the...

    I never knew that you could use Poinsettias as cut flowers.  Thanks to SouthernLiving.com, now I do!  They recommend searing the ends of your stems with a flame to prevent drooping.  Poinsettias contain a sap and the searing prevents this sap from dripping out.  Here are their detailed instructions.  Here are some great ideas for displaying your cut Poinsettias: This first one is my favorite!  I love how they used the bright green colors for a twist on the traditional red and green.  These could also be used for your New Year's party decorations.   The traditional red is also be...

    Poinsettias are the flowers of Christmas. It’s easy to incorporate them into your winter wedding as they come in several colors, bright red, dark red, pink, and white (looks more like a cream). You can use them as an accent color or you can create a poinsettia themed wedding. Photo Credits: Poinsettia Cake, Poinsettia Bouquet , Invitation, Candle, Silver Bouquet , Poinsettia Favor Box ...

    Today's winter wedding board draws its inspiration from a classic harbinger of the holidays, the poinsettia. But instead of the traditional red, I've used poinsettias in various shades of pink and cream. With a mostly white palette and lots of candles, the pink isn't cloying - though it would certainly make for a sweet bridal shower as well as a wedding or holiday party. Invitations are all white, except for calligraphy lettered in pink ink, and they're finished off with white twine and sealing wax (if you want to send envelopes wrapped in twine, you'll need to put them inside glassine envelop...

    She found her weatherman and lived happily ever after Ah! I’m here! And so happy to be Poinsettia Bud. At this point, we are just over nine months away from the wedding with so much left to do, yet, I am not feeling any kind of time crunch. Yet. I consistently say that I have won the “Husband Jackpot” with Poinsettia Dude. Shortly after we started dating, I shared with him that I was recently diagnosed as diabetic and that the next year or so would be tough. He had the chance to walk away friends or stay and be my rock….. Love is grand! Before getting engaged, Poinsettia Dude and I had...

    Hi. I’m Poinsettia Bud. So nice to meet all of you! I am very exciting to be a part of the BridalBud Community and get feedback and suggestions throughout my planning process.  I got engaged on July 6, 2010 to the love of my life.  Two months have passed and I am still on cloud 9, seriously. In two months time, we have a date, a wedding dress, a wedding planner, a guest list, and a lot of ideas.  We went back and forth deciding between a beach destination wedding or a Washington DC wedding.  Even though a beach destination wedding sounds like an amazing time, there is something to be sa...
