Best (and cheapest way) to fill a room with roses?
Looking to get a head start on my Valentine's day planning.
I've never done something like this before so I'm looking for suggestions.
The room in question is a living room in a small apartment. I don't have the exact measurements (working on it).
Is it easier to buy the roses and arrange them myself, or should I just leave it up to the experts? It doesn't have to necessarily be all roses....I guess any (mix of) flowers would do the trick...
Any/all help is appreciated. Thanks.
Best (and cheapest way) to fill a room with roses?
since money is obviously an issue why not go with lots of candles instead and have one beautiful display of roses and scatter rose petals all around, a roomful of roses will cost thousands especially at that time of year, have you seen the fabric rose petals used at weddings, huge box very cheaply, this would maybe be a more cost effective but still as romantic way to go
Reply:filling a room with roses just screams "desperate"
Get a SINGLE rose. it will mean much more.
Reply:Here is a list of wholesale flower websites. You may have to trim them yourself, but you can get ALOT of roses for no where near as much money as a florist will charge.

How can I tell my mom nicely not to inter fear with my wedding plans?
I am an asian womon in my 30's %26amp; my mom is still controlling me. In my culture we have arranged marriages. For the past 10 years my mom has tried to force me to marry men whom I hardly even knew. Some had really bad habbits %26amp; my mom said that they would change after I marry them. One guy freaked out because she even tried to fix my wedding date %26amp; where %26amp; when I should marry him even before met the guy. I was so disapointed with everything %26amp; gave up on finding a man. But out of the blue I met a wonderful man on my own %26amp; fell in love. Now we are engaged to be married %26amp; mom still is trying to interfear in our wedding plans. She even told me who should be my briedsmaid, what color of flower I should have in my cake, who should be my witness, how many should attend my wedding. My fiance %26amp; I are paying for our own wedding %26amp; planning it too. She got pretty upset with me last week about my wedding. Now we are ok. She wants a ring bearer when we said the best man will hand out the ring.
How can I tell my mom nicely not to inter fear with my wedding plans?
First of all congratulations on your engagement. You are about to embark on a whole new chapter in your life.
Be very open and honest with your mom. Tell her how you feel in a civil manner.
She loves and cares and wants the best for you that is why she is dong this (believe me I did not understand this until after I got married and had 2 children).
Take her to lunch and buy her something nice and then let her know. This will show that you care for her and you want to keep the lines of communication open. Let her know that this is your wedding day and you do want her to be a part of it.
Hope all works out for you.
God Bless....
Reply:I absolutely agree with the answer you chose - just have one quick thing to add. Ring bearers are cute and play a part in the ceremony, but are very rarely allowed to even touch the rings. Either the best man or the officiant handles this, even when you have an RB! Report It
Reply:Your mom really wants to be a part of your wedding. I personally would tell her "Mom, I love you and all of your ideas are great, however, we have already chosen to do this differently" Then I would give her a small task to do since she would be so gung-ho about the whole deal, like centerpieces- i would let her make them or choose them.
That way she will still feel like her opinions are wanted and accepted, and she will still have a part that she can dictate.
Reply:It's hard for you coming from an Asian background where some still adhere to the ritual of arranged courtships and marriages, but sounds like you're doing the right thing for you. It's not easy to tell your mother what you don't want since she came from a time where it was tradition to have your courtships and marriages arranged to people picked out by your parents or family members. Your mom sounds like a control freak. I asked my pen pal who was from Greece if they still did arranged marriages and she told me that you're free to marry who you want. It's amazing how your mother is hell bent on trying to pair you up with men who you never met. I mean come on I understand with keeping with tradition, but it sounds like your mom's trying to control every aspect of your life including how to plan and pay for your own wedding.
If you and your fiance are paying for the wedding then she's got no reason to give her input unless you ask for it and it didnt seem as if you asked for it. Stand your ground, but don't allow your mom to overstep her bounds because you're getting married she should be happy you found someone you actually want to make a life with.
Reply:Just sit down with your mom and tell her this wedding is going to be different then tradition. She must understand that you chose your own husband, you are paying for your own wedding, and you want to have it as you want it. That you are sorry that it breaks the tradition, but you want happiness to be remembered. You want to start your own tradition to carry on. I hope this helps. Tell her you appreciate all the help she has given and offered but you would like to make the decisions with your soon to be husband.
Reply:Your mother sounds like she really wants to be involved and doesn't know when to quit. It sounds like it's a bit of a cultural thing but interfering mothers are common to everyone. You can stop talking to her about your wedding or you can smile and nod at everything she suggests and thank her sweetly for her input. Let her suggestions go and do what you want to do. You could ask her for a list of important symbols that she feels should be incorporated into your wedding and then try to use as many as possible. I know that planning for a wedding is stressful enough without overly helpful family members but try to just smile and nod when you're given opinions or suggestions - most are worth exactly what you paid for them - nothing.
Reply:Try this, Mom I love you but if you dont leave me alone with all of these plans im gonna shoot you. (jokingly)
Reply:Tell her your a grown woman and you want more than any thing to plan your wedding on your own.
Reply:sit your mom down and talk to her nicely, say something like mom i love you but you don't haft to stress about the wedding Ive got every thing under control you just sit back and relax, you don't want wrinkles and Grey hair for our wedding portraits. OR just put your mom in charge of something to keep her out of your hair. Or just say mom your great but i want us all to be free so i hired a wedding planner.
Reply:No easy way but be assertive without being unkind. You owe it to your spouse to be. That is the person you plan to spend the rest of your life with so get started off on the right foot.

I was wondering if 'who had placed first in the race on Sunday' was the adjective. If so then what does it modify? She? Can a nominative pronoun be modified?
I think 'on Sunday' modifies the noun 'the race' so it is difinitely an adjective. But strictly speaking, 'on Sunday' is not a clause but a phrase.

What should I do? Craft Ideas?
I have a project due on tuesday in school. We are making "state floats" and mine is about New York. (You know with the shoebox projects) All I have done is make the Statue of Liberty out of clay. What else should I do. I am covering the box with the state colors, flag, flower, motto ext. But I mean, lik how I should arrange it, and put it together. Also feel free to add thing on what I should add on. Please, no "comments" on how old you think I am. I don't like it when people think that I am younger than I am.
What should I do? Craft Ideas?
sounds like you have it covered..New York has so much...New Year's Eve bulb, Radio City, United Nations,
I find less is more. Also a hockey team. Good luck
Reply:Ignore the idiots.
the statue is from France, is made of copper which is shinny when new and pale green when it oxidizes.
Place the things old to new.
make the statue shinny and show the French lag, the immigrants, the us flag. Then make the statue green and show in context of todays world.
nice... a time-line in a project.
sure to get an A,
Reply:Take the box, punch large holes in it, tape some airplanes flying into it, then write "BUSH WAS HERE!!!" on it.

Isn't this kind of morbid? A young girl was killed in a 4wheeler accident near my house about 4 yrs ago.?
Her family has set up an extensive memorial (stuffed animals, plaques, crosses, flowers, stones arranged in a heart, pictures) at the tree she hit, that they visit regularly(many times a week). I'm sympathetic that they lost a daughter tragically, but i can't understand why they would visit the site she was killed instead of where she's laid to rest. Is this a proper way to grieve and don't you think they need closure?
Isn't this kind of morbid? A young girl was killed in a 4wheeler accident near my house about 4 yrs ago.?
I agree with you. Nothing wrong with initially making a memorial at the tree, or with leaving ONE cross as a reminder to others. But four years and an extensive memorial shrine is a bit much. Grieving at the grave site is more appropriate and beneficial. It's time to put closure to it...true, it takes some people longer than others...but they can't move forward if they are constantly reminded of and living in the past. Part could be the guilt they feel for letting it happen. But it serves no purpose there...just a sad memory. The little girl wouldn't want it. Did they ever seek grief counseling?
Let's see...'four years x many times a week to the site' vs. 'nine years to the grave site' (and truly sorry for your loss) and 'once a year to another site'...I really see no comparison and still believe this family needs more counseling to put closure to this obsession. It's not a healthy one.
Reply:There is no "proper" way to grieve, If visiting the site helps comfort the family, I see no harm in it.
Reply:After four years, I'd kind of wonder about that, too.
Reply:Why does it matter to you what these people do to remember their child? I have lost a child and continue to visit her grave-its been nine years. I have a friend who was killed in a train accident and we go to the site once a year to remember her. There is nothing wrong with what anybody does to grieve. If they choose to visit this spot, maybe it helps them. Its not morbid. Its what these people want to do to remember their child.
Reply:Maybe they think that her spirit is at the spot where she was killed, and that was the place that she left this earth, rather than the grave site. People grieve in different ways, don't they?
Reply:I think it is a little morbid and that they are having a difficult time letting go. I think there are just some people who do that. I don't know if it is a cultural thing or what. Here where I live there are places along the roads like that....flowers etc at places where people died in accidents. Personally I would never do that. I would think about my loved one who died everytime I passes that spot but I wouldn't put up any kind of memorial or anything at the spot.
Reply:personally, i agree with you. i would think that visiting the accident site would be keeping the wound open. i can't imagine any closure coming from this. but i suppose everyone grieves differently.
Reply:The most difficult thing in life would have to be losing a child. And yes, I would agree that this might not seem like the place to grieve but, different people grieve in different ways.
Maybe they feel closer to her there. I do not know.
