Natasha Lisitsa`s world Natasha Lisitsa, one of the most interesting and bold floristic designers in the USA has accomplished world’s recognition for her floristic installations, which are respectfully labelled “more than like itself” for their exuberant designer style with innovative use of materials. Before devoting herself entirely to her passion - flowers and art - Natasha used to be an engineer who worked in high technologies. They say, nothing happens randomly in life. Combining her engineering experience and floristic is precisely what makes Natasha create true masterpieces. Lisitsa studied floristic design at the Sogetsu ikebana school in Japan. Taking eastern and western designer principles for a base she fostered her own unique style frequently called “full ikebana”. In 2001 Natasha founded Waterlily Pond Studio in SanFrancisco which soon became quite known for its floral installations, unconventional weddings and parties along the coastline. Waterlily Pond Studio has organised more than 1000 events already with a lot of events to be. Natasha Lisitsa’s studio receives orders for very ambitious floral art installations from San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, M. H. Young Memorial Museum and other significant cultural establishments. Some of her installations can weight up to 500 kg! Lisitsa represented the US in the international designer wedding edition of «Flower Wherever». This honour was awarded only 13 designers from across the globe. And recently, she has published her monograph - «Exuberant Floral Art». The news about the book was in every media. Moreover, Natasha is also a floristic art tutor. Her workshops, demonstrations and presentations in the States and other countries combine the cutting edge design, vivid colours, interesting stories and spectacular scales.

Philosophy Natasha starts a new design process with the selection of interesting natural resources, non-traditional materials and studying their properties. It creates unconsciously clear and transparent design, allowing each element to keep their individuality. Even though she is inspired by the movements, space, clean and clear lines in ikebana, but in every work she breathes in her adventurous spirit and, as a result, we see a "live" and expressive sculptural composition of vibrant energy of colours and materials.

How often do we find ourselves overpowered by images, natural or created by the human mind, feel them and admire them ... We notice whimsical cracks on the old cup or amusing dance of fallen leaves in autumn park. We are interested in strict geometrical patterns repetitions on the snowflakes and the ray of light, barely making its way through the thick veil of ancient oaks. But very few of us are able to create masterpieces with their own hands, materializing them and carrying out of the world of fantasy in the world of things having observed an artistic image in real life. All works of masters resemble themselves, because they reflect their feelings and mood, character, habits, and finally their outlook. Seeing the creation of the creator, anyone can notice the soul of the author in it.

Today we offer you a glimpse behind the curtain of the theatre, where true aesthetes and creators, artists in their field work. People who create beauty around them and are happy to share it with others. Masters of the agency «Svadebniy Perepoloh)» who feel and live trough every their project and performance have agreed to tell us about the spark that helped their creative team to generate such extraordinary ideas. We will talk about territory zoning in particular, which means dividing the
place into zones that will function differently. Wedding celebration is like a serial where the ending is predictable, it will last not only on pictures but in recollections of the love-story main characters and their dear guests. What will keep the attention of a sophisticated audience and how to enhance the degree of general interest in a wedding scenario? Transitions from one part of the scenario (read «zone» here) to another, so that a wedding becomes
something more catchy and interesting than simply a walk in famous jewellery pieces and showing off gorgeous night gowns from popular (or not that much) designers and a fest of the full of delicacies stomachs. A wedding today is a performance which amazes by the striking combination of incompatible, stirs the imagination of a crowd and participants of a ceremony and leaves unforgettable pleasant memories! Now, few words on visualisation.

stretch white paths that lead the visitors to different areas. Our hostesses, as the hostesses of the hall are wearing elegant dresses welcome each guest and escort to the lobby. There is a so-called chill-out zone. Guests are relaxing and having refreshing bev-
erages, preparing for the upcoming holiday. Aperitif area awaits the guests after. It is placed in a shadow of big white umbrellas where the guests can tastes the treats, take part in mini-competitions, take pictures and have a chat.

We help guests to take their seats. Finally comes the long-awaited moment of the wedding ceremony. It lasts only 10 minutes, but everyone should be convenient and comfortable: guests to watch this romantic action, photographers and operators to capture every moment, and loving couple to enjoy your happiness. Designers and florists put their soul in the decorating of each zone.
Ceremony zone appeared weightless and very airy. Delicate shades of purple, white and green fill the space with freshness and ease. Fragile orchids, magnificent hydrangeas and fragrant rose’s petals are trembling. Florists skilfully combine in modern compositions twisted stems of wild ivy and elegant vintage lace. The main flower decoration is
the queen of orchids, Wanda. These and many other elegant details come out very chic in the style of imaginary Provence. And even if the weather is a bit capricious and it will rain, white snow dome will protect all the guests from the weather. So, you can surely choose open spaces: we can deal with the weather!

Having enjoyed three hours of stay in the open air, guests now move into the banquet area. They had not had a chance to take a look before, and we are ready to surprise again. Going down the luxurious central staircase, they fall into the lovely room. Sophisticated compositions with flowers
ivory colour, decorated with the strings of crystals, give the room special elegance and solemnity. Phalaenopsis orchids cascade falls from the presidium of the couple. Crystals and beads on white French lace tablecloth are softly sparkling in the candle glow. That's what a classic style looks like:
lots of flowers, shining silverware, delicate tinkling crystal, luxurious expensive fabrics, ice sculptures and live statues. We have to confess to you, the hall is not only beautiful and accurately decorated. It is also equipped with high-tech. All the plasma screens, air conditioners,

lights and other equipment so professionally fit into the interior, so that they are almost invisible and only create more favourable conditions for guests. Our agency always prefers an allocation scheme of tables based on a circus arena principle. The dance floor, spacious and safe, comfortable and beautiful is in the middle of the room. On the side a stage and around it the tables that are arranged so that all the romantic moments of a wedding are visible from any seat. Plasma panels help to observe the ceremony at any angle. Table of a bride and groom, artfully decorated in an overall style of the wedding is usually located on a small runway. We think over every detail: from the perspective of photographers where it is best to shoot a couple, whether it is convenient enough for a bride to go down from the runway podium, given that she is wearing her dress. And, of course, together with florists we make this place one of the most beautiful, decorate it with exquisite floral compositions and unusual light show. Naturally, the script of a celebration leaves some time between toasts, surprises and competitions for guests to have the opportunity to walk and visit other areas: chill-out with a constantly available candy-bar, as well as interactive and photo-zone.
Pay attention to the sweets offered to our guests. Candy bar exudes a delightful aroma of vanilla and exotic voluptuous chocolate. Today, candy bars are part of the wedding decorations and art, it is difficult to look away sometimes. But it is not only to delight the eye, you should also indulge the taste with the sweetness of this masterpiece of confectionery skill! And who dares to be the first to break this harmony? Of course, children. They are happy to try everything they can grab. As for the wedding cake, it was definitely the king of the evening. Huge, 1.5m tall, weighing 55 kg, all strewn

zephyr feat. Futurism
The one Celebrations: world and Ukraine
Every day brings us a variety of events and activities around the world. Unfortunately, most of them are hidden from prying eyes, and all the efforts of decorators and florists who create a festive atmosphere, remain a mystery. Avoiding boring traditions, we decided to let you in the splendour of interesting and unusual events in Ukraine and around the world. Sometimes the luxuriance of the event amazes, but if you look closer, everything will be simple and elegant. This is what the talent of a decorator is: to astonish by usual, to see art in simple things.
Today we visited the "unearthly" zephyr party. The owner of the "Svadebniy PerepolohÂť agency Svetlana Matvienko and her team of designers and decorators have agreed to reveal some of the secrets of their skills. The agency had gathered professionals who create conceptual and wedding celebrations, and each of their events proves that the impossible does not exist. Creative ability to see the space, find masterpieces in daily life and show them to others the main feature of Svetlana Matvienko and her team. Diversity of their projects always strikes by the imaginative ability and extraordinary approach to solving problems. And each time the question arises: How can this be done?
"Elementary! Look closely at the world around you. You see beautiful paintings in the sky or patterns in the cracks on the pavement? I can see! Do you pay attention to the door handle, when you open the door? No? This makes all the difference! "- smiles Svetlana. Zephyr party was intended as a surprise for the birthday girl, who loved flowers more than anything else. Although it was easier and safer to use them in the decoration of the premises, where the friends and family gathered. But it seemed to be even much more interesting to surprise the sophisticated aesthete with marshmallow bouquets and other creativities. Birthday girl, modern girl gave up to fashion trends
and the main theme of the party was the Hi-Tech, some combination of space and futuristic fiction, like the world of Avatar. - Have you encountered any difficulties preparing the party? - The main one was to turn a round brown-beige hall in classical style into futuristic hi-tech club. - admits Svetlana - Did the client enjoy the design? - We achieved our goals and the birthday girl was thrilled! We wanted to change her vision as well as the one of

The futuristic world was complete and perfect. However, we couldn't forget about the flowers: two vases with graceful white orchids — a reminder of how fragile the surrounding world is and how beautiful the hostess of the party is... - Svetlana Matvienko shared the details of the preparation process.
- Truly impressive! The combination of black and white didn't make the interior boring and conventional. Instead they created a prefect harmony and the lights set in the main part of the hall added some colour to it.According to Svetlana, white colour served as a basis for different colour decisions. It is a very vivid example of how a very interesting and bright celebration can be organised with your own hands using things that appear so ordinary at the first sight.

The history of mankind begins with the first minute of its existence. First neighbour, assistant and nurse — the nature — remains like this since then. A man had to build the place to live from what he had in his disposal, gather or catch his food and evolved. He has longed for beautiful creating it form the nature's gifts — flowers since the dawn of times. No matter what form it takes, the bouquet has always been and always will be the main embellishment of any celebration.
Today bouquet has become a fashion accessory, art, decoration, but before it was woven out of symbols. Each flower used to be chosen according to certain rules, the main purpose of which was the protection of future family. Among the pagans the wreath served as a substitute for a bouquet. It was meant to be composed of plants with in-
toxicating strong flavour to scare away evil spirits from the new family. Slavs wove themselves a wreath of herbs, wildflowers with spikelet of wheat - a symbol of abundance and prosperity. After the wedding, these wreaths were stored as talismans in the family. But the Romans had more creative bouquets. How do you like a bunch of garlic and rosemary?
Garlic, as it is not difficult to guess, from all the bad, and rosemary — for all the best. Yes, just like that! In ancient Greece, wedding decorations did not look like a bouquet, rather like bunch of ivy with splashes of orange blossom, orange tree. This combination promised prosperity, well-being and eternal love in the family. Incidentally, in the 18-20 centuries in Europe the brides adorned their bouquets in the same manner using flowers,

orange blossom, or as it is also called - bitter orange. The brides in Spain and England used the orange flowers even in the decoration of their hair. Exactly in 19th century England the bouquets we are used to appeared thanks to Queen Victoria who started using orchids and a sprig of myrtle instead of common wild flowers: pansies or forget-me-nots. Ever since myrtle is present in all bouquets of royal family. It should be noted that representatives royal dynasty paid special attention to "the language of colours", which could tell a lot of to the public. Now that we are familiar with the historical background it is time to learn about wedding bouquet traditions. What is its purpose? Since the days of medieval Europe it was believed that any part of the image of the bride brings good luck and promises an unmarried girl a speedy and successful alliance. This was the reason that the delicate wedding dress on the day of celebration suffered from the hands of eager to get married successfully. The dresses were literally being torn to pieces, a catastrophe which needed to be prevented since every dress was hand-made, cost a fortune, and after the wedding was to be handed down to the daughter. It was decided to sacrifice the garter to keep the outfit safe. And a little bit later its place was taken by the bouquet. But the garter tradition wasn't forgotten, only passed down to the groom who had to throw the lace accessory to his single friends. Although the story claims that there were certain daredevils who tried to remove the garter themselves during the banquet. We wonder if anyone had actually done this. It is hard to believe now that the wedding bouquet had to remain a mystery to the bride. It was chosen by the groom who was to present it in the morning before the cer-

emony. Modern bride will not allow this because the bouquet should fit her image, and general wedding floristic, and who knows what the groom can choose?! The tradition of throwing the bouquet appeared long ago, but did not lose its relevance. As planned the bride had to throw the bouquet immediately after the registration of marriage. However, most brides did not want to dispose of it so early, that's when the double stepped on the stage. Nowadays, it is only used when the original bouquet is too heavy and it is simply dangerous to throw it to the bridesmaids. Moreover, some be-
lieve that by giving away the bouquet the bride may cast bad luck on herself. There is also a much fairer variant for those who do not wish to offend the girls who would not catch the bouquet: the bride gives one flower from her bouquet to every girl present, as if sharing her happiness with them. In addition to all the aesthetic and symbolic purposes, the bouquet has an important practical application. Any girl would be nervous at her wedding and, as we all know, when one is nervous they have a need to play with something random in their hands. In this case,
your bouquet may function as beards of some sort. Nowadays there are no laws and regulations for the compilation of flower composition. It all depends on your personal taste, character, image and general concept and style of the wedding and, of course, the professionalism of a florist. Real professional will understand you right away and make all your dreams and fantasies concerning your bouquet in life. We suggest you take look at the most exceptional or simply beautiful creations of the professional from all around the world.

Boutonniere:
accessory or a symbol The concept of "boutonnière" comes from French and is translated quite simply - “a flower in a buttonhole”. It is a small but meaningful and distinctive composition.
The boutonnière starts its history in Ancient Rome. A bride pinned a flower from the wedding bouquet to her bridegroom's attire. We can pay tribute to this tradition in a modern way by putting bridegroom's boutonnière in bride's bouquet. Later, Slavic women started making some wreaths for their beloved. All of this was done to protect the significant other from various troubles. However, the boutonnière as we know it today was used for the first time by Albert, Prince of England at his wedding. Nowadays, a boutonnière is to be worn not only by a bridegroom but also the fathers of the newlyweds, best man, brother and bridegroom's friends. Although, the etiquette stated that married men pin it on the right side, while single ones pin it on the left. What a boutonnière should be like? Mostly, it is made considering the image of a wedding bouquet, using the main colours and following a composition. There are indeed no limitations. You can use symbols only known for you two. Like adding flowers you received at your first date or use “the language of flowers” and make a love confession with a one small boutonnière. One shouldn't forget that the bride and groom should be harmonious and independent parts of one thing, that's why, you are free to use anything that celebrates your individuality, interests, character and view on the world in the bouquet as well as the boutonnière. And, trust us, world famous florists don't use flowers only in there creations.

of Love A long veil waving with the wind, this is an idea very far from a new one. The rapid development of wedding fashion offers an increasing variety of veils of any length, texture and colour. But classic long veil of your height recaptures the first position and becomes a favourite item of the next wedding season. All the guests are eagerly waiting to see the loving couple and especially the bride. Naturally, everyone wants to study every detail of her image. Long veil only fuels the interest. It is a symbol of modesty, purity and innocence. This romantic tradition is admired by women all around the world. For some, the veil is as important as the dress itself. Imagine, the bridegroom will only see your face as he is kissing you as your lawful husband. It is so touching! Because of its femininity, the lasting impression and emotions it gives the long veil takes place in the list of world trends in 2014. Tip: A long veil visually lengthens the silhouette of the bride. Particularly advantageous it would look in the wedding photo shoot. But remember, if the veil is too lush, it will visually disrupt the harmony of your image.

Tip: One can use any available materials and elements which have a geometrical shape. Do not forget that the geometry of the decor will give your party inimitable style, and it should be remembered.

The Crown of Creation Without any doubts we can say that the Major trend of 2014 is femininity. Every bride dreams of an elegant, natural girlish image. Flowers here will be very useful, and not only in the bouquet. Our great-grandmother, for example, embellished their hair with hand-made wreaths. Current fashion season won't be an exception. Floral couturiers «LoraShen» will gladly make trendy and colourful designer wreaths, which will serve as the original, gentle and touching decoration for the bride. “Today natural elements are in vogue. Light and tender images impress brides. At out studio

we often receive orders to create wreaths in the likeness of those that legendary artist Frida Kahlo wore: with big and voluptuous flowers. Surely, we find an inspiration in this tremendous woman, creating our collections of bridal wreaths. As for the flowers, David Austin rose, peony and orchid are especially appreciated during this season, while in summer many will find simple wild flowers adorable. “But whichever flower you prefer as the basis of your wreath, your wedding image will indeed resemble the one of a very charming nymph.” - comments the leading LoraShen florist, Alexandr Gevel.
Choosing flowers is an engaging process but do not forget about the dress. In this case it should be elegant and stylish without any extra decorations such as crystals and stones. You may find an appropriate model in the new collection of “Maxima” fashion house. Pay some attention to their feminine cut, graceful embroidery, romantic laces and light fabrics. Your image can be perfect and romantic with the minimum effort. Tip: If you consider a wreath to be a statement piece that is too brave, you may try flower hair pins which will add some light spring accent to your look.

To recreate the style of luxury and glamour of a brilliant Mr. Gatsby era at your own wedding is an audacious move for the most courageous judges of beauty among the engaged couples. Tablecloths and napkins, chair covers and invitations, cutlery and vases, candlesticks and elaborate crystal chandeliers - all the elements of decor should be shiny, as if made of gold or gilded, embroidered and decorated with sequins. Every detail requires attention, grinding and the highest measure of professionalism of those who undertake the implementation of this plan into reality.
At the same time, the glow of luxury around in no case should obscure the heroes of the occasion. For decorators, designers and organizers of the wedding, it is important to know how to subtly emphasize certain features without destroying the fragile balance between tasteful and vulgar interior. Alexander Gevel, a leading designer of LoraShen knows how to experiment with the style of 30s, balancing excessive gloss: "Actually, it's great when couples decide to move away

from traditions and have the wedding in some interesting and extraordinary style. The main thing is to be open to experiments. “Wedding in the style of "The Great Gatsby" is a perfect solution, because within this topic there are lots of opportunities for interesting and creative decisions in decoration. For example, the combination of raspberry and black in the interior, decor, outfits - this is atypical and uncommon, silver with gold – fairy-tale charming. For those who are particularly crazy about glamour and glitter, tablecloths with sequins will help to enhance the atmosphere of luxury. Armfuls of fresh flowers in vases won't let you overdo the design and will bring some natural spontaneity and intellectuality to your celebration. Also, the flowers itself are better not to be transformed so that they are fully in line with the spirit of that time”. While everything about the interior and decorations is more or less clear, one question so essential to every woman still remains — what about the dress?

Leave it to professionals, namely Ukrainian brand MAXIMA. To feel yourself truly luxurious the founder of MAXIMA, Marina Guraliuk suggests wearing simple dress with lots of beads and embroidery. But vintage outfits require special accents: provocative makeup, decorated headbands, in short, things that may not suit all women. Therefore MAXIMA presented a number of dresses "on the luxury theme" in the new collection: 2014 trend - dresses with transparent elements, models with semitransparent ¾ sleeves that are so popular nowadays, dresses that bring to mind feathery cakes, with miles of weightless tulle and, of course, ageless lace which comes hand in hand with a wedding year after year. So, do not delay the fitting and do no hesitate to visit professionals at MAXIMA because the “Great Gatsby” inspired wedding is also a valid reason for uncontrolled fun, where you may drown in the spray of champagne and volleys of fireworks, as naturally as in luxury and generosity of your own feelings! Make up your mind and enjoy!

Modern Femininity Gifted Estonian florist and decorator Ahti Lyra is convinced that femininity is always relevant for fashion. Especially now when women have achieved so much with their clever, industrious and goal-oriented minds. They showed the whole world their inner power and patience. They made up their own rules and broke the stereotypes. But nevertheless, they still crave to be feminine, radiate beauty and love. Every woman has her own taste and style and nowadays knows perfectly well how to express her individuality.

Modern femininity skilfully combines strong character and graceful innocence. White roses and sparkling crystals emphasize the importance of each day for a woman. Delicate lace conveys tenderness and elegance. A shell with feathers embodies the ability to be different, soft and militant, ready to defend the loved ones and to be very affectionate for them.

Elegant and delicious cupcakes may become nice complement to the main cake or imitate the cake even. Typically, the design of these mini cakes is done according to the style and colour of the wedding. But if each of them receives its own individual decorative element and together they will make a perfect picture - this will add originality to your wedding table. If you make cupcakes as a gift to everyone who attended the event you

Sweet Carousel "Every girl should be able to cook" - we often hear from men, our mothers and grandmothers. There's an old saying that corresponds with the subject: "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.Âť We would like to introduce you to a perfect girl - a founder of the confectionery house "Carousel", a professional in her field and simply a beautiful woman - Olesya Solomina. In social networks she is more commonly known as the "Goddess of cake" and it's true! Her desserts can turn the head of the most sophisticated taster not only by their taste, but also correct, chic design. Olesya told The One about her inspiration, sweet trends and her famous useful macaroons.

The One: Why did you decide to engage in confectionary craftsmanship? You just have a sweet tooth? Olya Solomina (Olesya): For me, preparing desserts is the ability to create a feast for the people on a daily basis. A possibility to share happiness when there's no special occasion for it. Initially, I wanted to make this world a happier place and found the way to do this.
Olesya: Confectionery art - pure creativity, but the creation of a quality product every day is work. The One: What sweets and pastry except macaroons are special for you? Olesya: All my sweets are special, for me they are like children, I have no favourites. But what I will never forget is pies with cran-
The One: features and principles of work. Olesya: In confectionary house "Carousel" there are several rules: 1. Each cake, candy or marshmallows are made in such a way as if we were assessed only by this one thing. 2. Guests should get a little more than expected. 3. We use only the best quality products, without any artificial ingredients. 4. Everyone on the team is doing the work that he likes to do the most.
The One: What inspires you? Olesya: My family, love, travels and rivalry. I think ideally you should mix it all together and be inspired by this cocktail. The One: For you confectionary art is a job or creativity?
The One: What sugary trends we are going to have this year? Olesya: I think that this summer the fashion trend of fruit and berry smoothes so popular in the States will finally reach us. I guess, organic food, including organic sweet products will become only more popular with time. The One: Do you have any know-how or developments of which you are proud of? Olesya: I'm really proud of my sugar-free marmalade and marshmallow, I'm glad to have made a truly healthy product equally delicious. The One: What innovations would you like to introduce to your business? Olesya: I would like it to remain a secret, soon you'll see yourself (smiling — ed.)
The One: Your life philosophy? Olesya: Every day become better than you are doing the most that you can, and to "make love." The One: What are the ingredients in your personal recipe for success? Olesya: Persistence, a clear vision of the purpose, attention to detail, audacity and constant, daily work.
Olesya: Perhaps, the most unusual combination in a dessert was ice cream "Scrambled eggs with bacon", and my favourite one is a gorgonzola and honey macaroon.
berries prepared by my grandmother. She baked the best pies in the world. I would give away anything to try them again. The One: How come your macaroons are called the healthiest ones? Olesya: Because since childhood I was taught never skimp on food. And I use only the finest, natural, fresh and quality ingredients in my recipes. The One: What are the most unusual flavour combinations that you use? Which are the most delicious?
The One: What, in your opinion, our people lack? Olesya: I think everyone should answer this question himself and change this. As recent events have shown - our people are capable of anything! I think the most important thing in our people there is courage and a desperate desire for change. The One: What is the most important thing you have conveyed to people at your workshops? Olesya: That cooking is simple, and it's fun, I think there's no better time spending with a family than preparing food together.

A few simple tips that can help create holiday cosiness:
1
First decide on the colour scheme. It may be spring, pastel shades or bright, juicy colours.
Collect all the matching coloured fabric. Semitransparent tulle, organza, delicate lace, smooth satin. Their combination looks elegant and festive.
2
Assemble stuffed animals - symbols of Easter: hares, rabbits, butterflies, chickens and other birds. And prepare them for decoration, tie bows, make a necklace of coloured beads and crystals and make some wreaths of artificial flowers, feathers and ribbons.
3
Find some nice looking twigs in the park. You may find a lot of ways of using them for decorations, any of them will be quite interesting. For example, make a nest in which you can put painted eggs or assemble an Easter tree and decorate it with ribbons, feathers, butterflies, decorative eggs, flowers and birds.
4
Flowers will always create cosiness in your house. Place some bouquets in small vases and cups along with willow twigs with fluffy buds in a tall vase. They will bring the smell of spring.
5
Remember, there can be a great variety of ideas but the most important thing is to do everything with love, to feel the joy of communication with people whom you hold dearly, exchanging smiles and happiness.

decoration of the season
Now you can create the fashion accessory of the season yourself. If you decided to make a wreath from flowers watch them to stay fresh as long as possible. Put all the leaves, flowers and berries in water before you start and spray the finished composition with some water as well. Enjoy the hand made beauty!
1. Take bundles of berries and leaves. Make small bouquets of them, hold them together with thread. Cut small pieces of wire for each individual bouquet. Bend the wire so that one edge is shorter and the second one is longer.
108
2 I 2014
2. Twist the shorter edge on the berries bundle making a smooth transition to the longer edge and bonding them together. Thus, you create a fixation on which the berries will be held in a wreath. Do the same with the more dense buds, such as roses.
3. we suggest to do otherwise with the more fragile flowers. Pierce the flower bud itself with wire and twists the ends together at the bottom.
12 bundles of decorative berries with leaves scissors thin floral wire 36 small flower buds (eg. eustomy and hydrangeas) small roses 12 snapdragon flowers floral scotch translucent ribbon of matching colour (8 meters, 23mm.) measuring tape wire for a wreath base
4. Snapdragon flowers are the most tricky to fix. Separate the flower from a stem, thread wire through the middle and twist it in the same manner.

5. To make the resulting holders even safer, use a second piece of wire for each bundle and bud.
6. Wrap all the wire and stems with floral tape at an angle so that it leaves no gaps.
7. Let's move to bows now. We need at least 14 them . To make them lush, add three loops together and leave two tails. Secure them with wire and then twist the two ends of the wire together.
8. Cut 4 pieces of thick wire of equal length to form the basis of a wreath. Put them together in a way that every piece captures the next one by 3 cm. Then wrap them with floral tape.
9. You may now start placing the buds, bows and bundles as you like, by screwing them to the ground wire.
10. Form a circle and seal the ends of the hoop together. Wrap the place of bonding with some tape so that it does not stand out. Your floral wreath is ready!

The one Master-class
1. The size of the board for the seating plan is designed for 9 tables. Optionally, you may increase or decrease the number of tables. Cut a rectangle of plastic foam in the size of 60 * 38 cm. Then, take some wrapping paper or fabric in the size of 76*53 cm. Wrap the rectangle with this paper from the inside and glue some paper to it. For this purpose you may use glue-spray, as it will leave no stains. Be sure to get an even and neat coating.
You will need: wrapping paper of gold colour suitable fabric 5mm thick plastic foam (the basis for the plan) ivory paper (for cards), suitable for computer printing white cardboard golden thread Vintage and glass buttons vintage braid Vintage golden earrings Vintage golden ribbon board for cutting paper stationery knife metal ruler pencil scissors double sided adhesive tape ordinary scotch regular glue (glue-spray) golden pen
2. Using double sided adhesive tape, decorate the edge of the base with golden braid. Fold and stick together the protruding ends. Take a pencil and a ruler and mark the places where the cards will be placed. Stick glass buttons to the marked spots.
3. Print out the guest list on ivory paper taking into account that the cards are sized 12*6 cm. Leave some blank space for the table numbers. Cut out 9 cards and stick it to the more thick ones of the same size that you had prepared before. Put the table number to each card using golden ink.

4. To hang the cards to the appropriate places, take a golden thread and cut it to 9 parts each one 10 cm long. Make a loop and glue it on top of each card with adhesive tape. Decorate the loops with golden earrings.
5. Once you have cut down some part of a golden ribbon and glued it to the basis of a seating plan you will be able to hang it anywhere. Now, hang all the cards and add some decorative elements if you wish.

«Fate leads those who trust it and drag down those who resist».
Seneca
W
ould you deliberately follow the flow of your destiny in sorrow and joy, wealth and poverty? A chance to get the right tip at the right time in the right place increases exponentially since the meeting with the most important person in your life. Exactly with the partner who will help keep the balance under the most flimsy circumstances. The point of changes Choosing a life partner out of love - that's right. With a man who at some point becomes for us the most desirable, we are always connected either by situational or constant resonances of natal chart (birth horoscope). Somehow our fate brings this person to our life. To find out why and for how long one may learn by comparing birth charts, the alignment of heavenly rulers at the time of the first meeting. But if after all you decided to get married it is essential for this sacred event to be protected by the «lucky stars» - favourable transits of planets and stars. Because good choice of the moment of birth of a family, a new common destiny, is capable of adjusting uncomfortable indicators of each of the couple separately. And on the contrary - wrongly selected date and time of the wedding may destroy the most favourable personal programme of one of the couple or them both. Naturally, this specific time is to be discovered for every person individually. However, there are some universal rules in astrology, by obeying which you can at least avoid aggravating the programme of your life as a couple. Sun is a luminary symbol of the active start in life, our clear conscience. In popular astrology used in public predictions for both, men and women, the position o the Sun in zodiac signs is taken into account.

Moon reflects the feminine, spiritual, emotional perception of the world. It is believed that in a woman's horoscope position of the moon is more important than the sun's position. Ancient oriental astrologists, whose opinion on a perfect match for their newborn royal daughters was valued by kings, primarily studied the moon's position in girl's horoscope. A fiancée for a future ruler was to be found in the same way. It is solar-lunar cosmic unison that initially protects the family from any dissonances. Most of us can read the coordinates of the Sun (twelve signs that are approximately oriented for twelve months), while the coordinates of the Moon are better to be checked in the calendars: it changes its position about every 2.5 days.
General lunar rhythms should be considered when choosing the date for your wedding. Be aware of at least two main indicators. 1. Do not plan a ceremony close the full Moon (and at least three days before and after). 2. Avoid the days of solar and lunar eclipses (two weeks before and after them as well) that block free will and limit the ability of adjusting to subsequent events.
I wish your alliance to have the favour of stars and cosmic harmony!
