Choosing the perfect flowers for your wedding can be difficult. Did you know that choosing flowers that are in season compared to those that are out of season is one of the factors that determines how expensive your flowers will be? Digby & Rose has put together the ultimate flower guide for anyone who will be getting married. The guide includes a checklist of 20 questions to ask your florist to make sure you are choosing the best one, the most popular wedding flowers, and a breakdown of each flower by when it is in season and the colors it comes in. This guide is a follow-up to our previous 3 wedding guides Choosing the Best Wedding Photographer, Guide to Save The Date, and Complete Wedding Checklist.

Negative Space and Letterpress
To truly understand letterpress card design and how to use color and the paper, you have to know how to use negative space. There is one exercise I remember doing during art class that really drove this point home. The task was to draw the outline of every shape I could see from my vantage point. I drew the outside edges of a plastic plant, the table, the lamp, the window and the chair. All of a sudden it came to me that everything lives in negative space and my world got pretty large. Now when I look at people, things and spaces, I notice that I observe more of the unoccupied space around people and things. It’s that ability to see the negative space that makes for great design in letterpress, because the negative space is that which when printed is what you feel. If a picture is worth a thousand words then the touch is too. These cards were designed and made by Leslie Ross Robertson and printed using soy inks. I really love her work because she understands negative space and has an appreciation for mid-century architecture and design.
