After Katie’s (our younger daughter) and Joe’s July 19th, 2008, wedding, a family friend said that the wedding and reception were simple yet elegant, and that, “That’s Katie.” Katie and Joe have very similar tastes and therefore came up with the idea of having our own wildflowers as reception centerpieces. They also chose to have a box of monster cookies as a small gift for each guest at the reception.
Where Katie was raised outside of Perry, Iowa, Bill (my husband) planted wildflowers so he could avoid the difficult-to-mow hills. The kind of wildflower typically plentiful in July where we live is the Purple Coneflower. They are gorgeous. And…free. A nice combination when planning a wedding reception. more
