I'm backing birdseed, too! I love hearing all your ideas. I eloped when I was 22 and never had a real walk down the aisle. That wedding didn't last and I don't think I will ever remarry so I enjoy living vicariously through others. A lot of your ideas sound like things I would do at my own wedding on the slim chance I am ever to have one and so I am enjoying it even more. Like the earth colors and the wildflowers and using your mother's wedding dress for something.

If the sleeves on the cover of Bride's Magazine were also pale yellow satin instead of lace, it would have been a picture of my wedding dress <1982>. Too tight now, but you could cut up all the fabric for table favors.

LOL at Eggie, but I noticed at the grocery store that they now make (approx) 1 inch rolls of tp, for trips and such, that you can carry in your purse! Yes a lot of people toss birdseed for an outdoor wedding. It doesn't have to be cleaned up and it is environmentally friendly. Just hope that people don't throw it at you hard (same goes for rice), because it hurts! I sort of like the idea of petals, not necessarily rose - maybe lavender mixed with daisy petals, a pot pourri in assorted colors, and it is also environmentally friendly. The wish knot sounds cool! Is there any special blessing that the onlookers could say during the ceremony, like what Texannie suggests? You could incorporate the wheat into your homemade candle! You make beautiful candles. My brother did the unity candle and the words were beautiful. Wouldn't planting a tree right there get you all dirty? Even a little potted one means adding dirt. How windy will it be in your ceremony setting?

MsMoon, I would like to know if you have registered at any national chain stores or online for your wedding gifts? I wouldn't want to send you something you already have ten of

Moon, my daughter is getting married May 1 and will have lavender potpourri thrown at their wedding. The wedding site is a historic estate and they don't allow rice, birdseed, petals or bubbles but encourage the use of potpourri. I love your wildflowers ideas, and using parts of your mom's gown. It will be a beautiful wedding!!!

LOL I meant wish note... the guests when they arrive write a wish on a very small card... lets say a shape of a leaf then it is tired to the trellis that I get married under. Birdseed it is. Congrats for your daughter Cathie!

It does... congratulations Moondance! You mentioned maybe planting a tree together or some other type of unity symbol... it reminded me of a friend's wedding. She grew up in the Columbia River gorge area, her husband grew up in the San Francisco Bay area... part of their ceremony was combining a small vase of water from the river and a small vase of water from the bay, into one larger vase. Maybe if you plant a tree together, you could each add a little bit of soil that comes from a place important to your past or heritage? It might require the help of out of town friends or family coming to the wedding, but might be sort of fun. Happy wedding planning!

Some people also use grass seed .. you could throw "cat grass" seed in honor of the kitties and oats for the horsies Gracie.. what Moonie already has ten of is.. CATS.. I love the unity candles and the idea above of uniting of water or earth is lovely. On Starting Over the couple that got married had a cylinder and there were individual colors of sand.. each of them put in a layer and then they merged for a layer.. I forget the exact details but then the cylinder becomes part of their home decor. I'm sure you two will come up with something special to you and full of wonderfulness.
