Remembering loved ones with a bouquet locket

What a wonderful and significant way to remember loved ones who have passed on your wedding day!  

In a recent wedding I attended, the bride remembered her grandmother with a beautiful glass locket tied in her bouquet, keeping her memory close on her special day. The wedding program mentioned the locket, so guests could also share in this touching significant detail. 

The locket can be hand tied with a ribbon or chain (or even pinned) on the front of the bouquet. Or it can be privately and more subtly hidden under the petals and facing the bride. However its done, its a sweet way to honor important people in your life that cannot be there with you on such an important event. Then afterwards, the locket becomes a lovely keepsake from your wedding.

Simply luxurious....

Great recipe for Natural "Green" Lavender Household Cleaner

Fill a jar about one-quarter full of blue/grey lavender buds and then fill the rest of the jar with white vinegar. Place the lid on the jar and leave in a warm spot (a windowsill is a good place) for about two weeks. Shake daily. Strain out the lavender buds (you can put these in the compost pile). Use your new cleaner to clean kitchen counters (repels and also kills ants), windows, etc. It is also a good spray into the air around the grill to repel flies, but be careful not to get downwind of it because the vinegar may sting your eyes.
