Hello, I'm getting married on octoboer 11th 2008. And I'm having a black and white wedding, with deep red flowers and need a little bit of advice....
First off I'm having troubles finding a florist in Minnesota...If you know of any that there prices are not to high let me know and also I don't know much about flowers and I'm not sure what kind would look good? Maybe with me having such a eligant wedding color probably stick with roses?
Second off can anyone recomenned me to a cake maker in MN. Does local grocey stores do good (ex. Corborns, Lunds Bylers, Cub?) I've heard they are cheaper.
and lastlley I need some ideals for center pieces.
I'm having a Black and White wedding...?
You could always use the black baccara roses. They are gorgeous deep red roses...although I am pretty sure that the can be a little pricey. Here are a few pics.

A cheaper alternative might be some beautiful red tulips. The gerbera daisies are much more affordable as well. i had my girls carry the gerbera daisies and i carried roses. Ended up saving a lot of money doing it that way...here is a pic of the red gerbera's...i think they are beautiful

As for centerpieces, do you want something black and white, or do you want to incoporate the red into the centerpieces?
Here are a few pictures that should give you some good ideas.

Reply:well black and white can be very sexy yet be hard to do center pieces that go with it. i say go with red roses in a short vace or look for some sleek black and white figures also you can do what i have seen and looks very nice get black and white photos of people that have passed and use them as centerpieces or black and white photos of the two of you threw out the engagement and dating
Reply:have black and white ostritch feathers in a vase..it makes for a stylish and diffrent look to flowers. these feathers are very long and fluffy, i would have a black one then a white one next to it and so on till you have enough to make a 'plume' in the vase. Also you could have black and white candle sticks with LCD candles and hang charms from the candle sticks.
Reply:That's my date too!!!!! Oddly enough our colors are black and white! For our centerpieces we are doing small vases with red stones and a white candle in them with a small thin black ribbon wrapped around the mouth of the vase.
I can't help much with the florist or the cake, but I can give you any other advice for a black and white wedding on that date! Just e-mail me if you want!
Congrats!
Reply:You may checkout the wedding cakes from these websites. I think the wedding cake designer you mentioned may be listed in those sites. You may also get ideas of your wedding cakes by browsing through lots of wedding cakes pictures.
Reply:http://weddings.theknot.com/ODB/themes/r... Has some ideas for cakes, have you considered having one of these towers of cupcakes instead ?
We were thinking about black and white for October too !

Reply:Sounds lovely, unfortunately I am in the uk, so can't help with flowers or cake, how about flowers in the centre of the tables, to match yours,or little bowls of chocolates etc, Have a wonderful day,
Reply:don't forget to have the photographer shoot everything in black and white too.. :D
Reply:i had a ivory dress and my bridesmaids had charcoal dresses its was stunning
Reply:"Does local grocey stores do good"??? Huh?
Reply:Congratulations
Not knowing which part of MN you are looking in try the vendor links below, hopefully they will help. Most bakeries even the local grocery stores will allow you a small sample. Do a taste test and price checking for the size you need to feed the number of guests. You can also find vendors below for your flowers. They will have photos from past clients to show you for ideas, you can mix ideas up. There are a lot of good suggestions already listed on here for center pieces and color ideas. Go to google and type in your city the item you are looking for and then start calling asking questions and visiting with those that have made a good impression.
Best of Luck
Reply:I think that red with black and white is over powering, you may need to add a softer colour or sofen up the whole image;
perhaps introduce a third colour? (but you the bride can get away with the all red bouquet)
e.g. see how a white sash softens a black maid dress;

This pic shows the bridesmaids holding a lighter yet vibrant red and pink shoes;

or this bouquet of orange lillies and some red roses with green berries gives the autumn feel;

or this pic has green leaves red roses and a hint of purple;

What are my chances of getting into a semi-selective college?
My grades were decent freshman year, perfect (4.0 gpa, 4.2 weighted) sophomore year, but so far this semester has been really hard for me; I still have to take my exams but I think I will end up with 3 A's, 2 B-'s and possibly one C+ or B-. Ive had some personal issues but I think I can do much better next semester. my gpa is 3.7.I'm in marching band, color guard, yearbook, and I have a really great job as a florist. I plan on taking more extracurriculars and possibly tutoring, and will probably get into NHS at my school. I am also going to volunteer this summer and take a few design/architecture classes at our local college. I want to major in Landscape Architecture in college, and the most selective schools I will apply to are probably UVa, Illinois Urbana-Champlain, and UW Madison. What are my chances of getting in to any given school, mainly the ones mentioned, even with an iffy start to my junior year? (p.s.- havent taken ACT's yet but I took a practice test and am aiming for a 28
What are my chances of getting into a semi-selective college?
A 4.0/4.2 GPA is not decent, it's great.
Anyway, I'd say even though your grades went down, you still will almost definitely get into UofI, you have a very good shot at Madison, and Virginia is a possibility. You should try to do really well on your ACT--try for a little better than a 28. Not that that is bad at all, but that is on the lower end of the range for Madison and Virginia.
Good luck!
Reply:Colleges only see your final grades; just do better next semester and you'll be fine. The only school out of those that you might have trouble getting into is UVa.

Islam will win godless West without war or bombs, first Muslim son Obama in USA, then mosques in Europe?true?
after Kenyan Muslim son %26amp; Indonesian Muslim stepson Barack Hussein Obama wins USA Presidency this November, will Islam win over the rest of Europe since many Westerners are godless agnostics and not producing kids too, so Muslims can migrate all over Europe and USA to help save Western civilization from godlessness and moral decay? long live Barack Hussein Obama, will this be the cry of celebration of all Muslims of the world if he wins against Hillary Clinton and wins Nov. election?
more Muslim mosques for Europe and USA? Obama said he will pull out USA troops immediateky in Iraq, another victory for militant pure Islam?
Germany's Biggest Mosque Spurs Fear of `Islamization' of Europe
By Seda Sezer
April 3 (Bloomberg) -- The twin spires of Germany's largest Gothic cathedral will soon be joined on the Cologne skyline by the minarets of the country's biggest mosque.
The $23 million Ehrenfeld Central Mosque, scheduled to be completed in about two years, will help bring Islam out of the back streets and reduce the influence of radicals, Mayor Fritz Schramma says. Others see the building as a symbol of Islamic extremism and further evidence that Cologne's 120,000 Muslims, more than half of them Turkish immigrants, refuse to integrate.
``I pray at the little chapel next to the Cologne Cathedral, and my prayer doesn't become more valuable if I pray in the big cathedral,'' said Laszlu Reischl, 56, a taxi driver. ``I don't understand why they insist on building a big mosque.''
The controversy reflects Germany's struggle over almost five decades to incorporate its largest ethnic minority. Tensions were revived in February when Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Turks at a Cologne rally that ``assimilation is a crime against humanity.'' Some lawmakers who oppose mostly Muslim Turkey's bid to join the European Union accused him of preaching Turkish nationalism on German soil.
Cologne has Germany's highest concentration of Muslims, at 12 percent of the population. The new mosque will be built in the immigrant district of Ehrenfeld, about two miles from the 13th- century Cologne Cathedral.
The 53,800-square-foot building will fit 1,200 worshippers. It will replace a converted pharmaceutical warehouse that has housed the mosque since 1984 and holds about half as many people. Many spill into the parking lot during Friday prayers.
Permanently Here
``When our fathers came here, they rented the least expensive place to pray,'' says Mehmet Gunet, legal adviser to the Cologne-based Turkish Islamic Union for Religious Affairs. ``We are permanently here and we want more beautiful prayer houses.''
German architect Paul Boehm, who has worked on local churches, won a contest to design the mosque. The building consists of curved concrete walls connected to a central dome by glass to convey openness and transparency.
The two 55-meter (180 feet) minarets will be about a third as high as the cathedral spires. The complex will also house offices, restaurants and shops.
``We want to show that Muslims can live in peace in a society,'' Gunet says. ``We are coming out of hidden places and saying, `We are here, you can come and look in.'''
`Parallel Society'
The Islamic Union, a group of Imams and theologians appointed by the Turkish government's Religious Affairs authority, is awaiting final planning approval and expects construction to begin in June.
Opposition to the mosque has been spearheaded by the Pro Cologne citizens initiative, which holds five seats in the town parliament. Over the past two years, the group has circulated petitions and leaflets and held rallies against the project.
The mosque will allow local Turks to slip further into a ``parallel society,'' where many don't even speak German, says Manfred Rouhs, a Pro Cologne representative.
``It's a symbol of Islamization in Europe and the failure of integration,'' Rouhs says. ``It's a danger to our European way of living.''
About 60 percent of Cologne residents oppose a large mosque with minarets, according to a July survey by Koelner Stadt- Anzeiger, the city's biggest newspaper.
Headscarf Hairdresser
Turks first came to Germany in the 1960s, when they were invited in to help ease a postwar labor shortage. There are about 3 million ethnic Turks in Germany today.
On Ehrenfeld's main shopping street, some Turkish stores offer special services, such as the hairdresser with private rooms for women with headscarves. A barber provides Turkish tea fresh from the samovar, an urn traditionally used to heat water.
Uneasiness about the mosque reflects Germany's ``Islamophobia, racism and xenophobia,'' says Mehmet Yildirim, general secretary of the Islamic Union.
``This society didn't have much of a relationship with different cultures and religions in the past, and they have prejudices and worries,'' Yildirim says.
Mayor Schramma says the mosque will help build trust and public acceptance of Islam.
``What Erdogan meant was assimilation by force, and we don't have that here in Germany,'' he says. ``We want to end the separation, but it must not come from the top down.''
Speak German
The Islamic Union has been open to negotiation, agreeing to reduce the size of the prayer area, to conduct the prayer call through indoor speakers, and to offer half of the shops to German business owners, Schramma says.
``The next step is that the language in the mosque in time will be German,'' the mayor says. ``The second- and third- generation, which were born here, should be ready to accept that as their mother language.''
Claus Moskopp, 52, an Ehrenfeld florist, points out that the minarets won't even be as high as the nearby 243-meter Deutsche Telekom AG tower.
``We had this mosque here as it is for a long time and no one said anything, but minarets bother people,'' he says. ``It doesn't bother me because the minarets will match the city landscape.''

The greatest fear the radical Islamists should have regarding their cause, is the day the good old boys in the US of A decide to play cowboys and radicals.

Yahoo SA answers Soap Opera?
Further to Styvies question earlier, if YAHOO SA ANSWERS were a soap opera on TV what would the theme tume be? What roles would the character's take?
I can see Cakes as a kindly lady with a petisserie and Cheri as the florist next door. Alf a spirited school teacher, Ayiza a controversial "beatnik" type street artist. Heavy D, the butcher with the best boerewors in town, Styvies an entrepreneur with Mars Attack. I can see Alf and Bull propping up the local bar and getting into rows with people whereupon landladies Inno and Unathi put them back in their place. Porgie and Tsepo strike me as the local cops etc etc As for me.... he he he............ that's up to someone else I suppose.

During his rounds to sell his artist, Alfie meets this newspaper critic called Bull and after sharing some whisky they decide to put pressure on the SABC to play local talent more. That's where Ayiza comes in. His buddies from the Eastern Cape fill the corridors of power at SABC. They agree but advise that MJ must be taken on national tour and the preferred company to do that is co-owned by zxcv and Tsepo, who connections are high at SA Miller. and the first stop will be in Pretoria where Blue Bull is the Stadium manager.....the story continues...^^(((%26lt;*%26gt;)))^^

Flowers not delivered by FTD on Valentine's Day?
A week ago I ordered flowers from a local FTD shop and on Feb.15 I get an email saying that "at this time we do not have a florist available in your recipient's delivery area who can deliver your product on 2/14." Can you believe that? She lives in the middle of MANHATTAN!! Don't tell me there are NO florists or deliveries in Manhattan!
This is just unacceptable, and on an occasion like this guys have to hang their head in shame because FTD could NOT do their job. This is the ONE day that makes FTD what it is...and they don't deliver.
I'm wondering how often does this happen where FTD can't deliver on Valentine's Day - let me know if you didn't get your FTD flower delivery, as scheduled, on Valentine's Day.
Flowers not delivered by FTD on Valentine's Day?
On Valentines Day, I learned a long time ago to contact the florist directly. When they price is given I include a good tip ahead of time. Remember that tip is To Insure Promptness. As for FTD make sure you stop payment with your credit card company. File a complaint if you can. Then to do damage control with your sweetheart, print out the email and give it to her with flowers that you bring her yourself. When she looks up from reading it, tell her that you were foolish to have trusted anyone else with a message from your heart.
Reply:that sucks. i live in florida and my boyfriend ordered me flowers and they STILL havent been delivered! I have to go pick them up myself NEVER going to have them ordered by FTD again!
Reply:I think what happens was as they were getting paid more fo the flowers in the days of valentines they cancelled the previous orders, and sold it for more.
Well you cant really do much now, you will get the money back or an apology but nothing more, how about you handpick some flowers, from garden, dont have to be roses or very nice, anything that is cute, make a bouquet type thing and give it to her now, she will appreciate it and love you more.
Reply:That's too bad. Please I live in NJ %26amp; FTD is worldwide. Hope your valentine forgave you.

Birthday Party?
Mrs. B, a school teacher, was turning 31. Her students all decided to throw her a party.
"What a great party!" she says.
Then it was time to give her her presents.
Mary, the daughter of the local candy shop owner, gives her a box.
"You'll never guess what it is!" she said.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Candy?"
"Yes! How did you guess?" she said.
Ricky, the florist's son, gave her a box.
"You'll never guess what it is!" he said.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Flowers?"
"Yes! How did you guess?" he said.
It went on like this for a while.
Timmy, the son of the owner of the liquor shop, gave her a box. It had a yellow liquid dripping off a corner.
"You'll never guess what it is!" he said.
Mrs. B tasted a tiny drop of liquid.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Beer?"
"No," he said.
Once again, Mrs. B tasted a tiny drop of liquid.
"Wine?" she asked.
"Noo," he said.
Mrs. B tasted another tiny drop of liquid.
"Champagne?" she asked.
"Nooo! It's a puppy!" he said.

"What a great party!" she says.
Then it was time to give her her presents.
Mary, the daughter of the local candy shop owner, gives her a box.
"You'll never guess what it is!" she said.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Candy?"
"Yes! How did you guess?" she said.
Ricky, the florist's son, gave her a box.
"You'll never guess what it is!" he said.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Flowers?"
"Yes! How did you guess?" he said.
It went on like this for a while.
Timmy, the son of the owner of the liquor shop, gave her a box. It had a yellow liquid dripping off a corner.
"You'll never guess what it is!" he said.
Mrs. B tasted a tiny drop of liquid.
"Hmm," says Mrs. B "Beer?"
"No," he said.
Once again, Mrs. B tasted a tiny drop of liquid.
"Wine?" she asked.
"Noo," he said.
Mrs. B tasted another tiny drop of liquid.
"Champagne?" she asked.
"Nooo! It's a puppy!" he said.

Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to
Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed
behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much.
The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser
of two weevils.
A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West
He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking
for the man who shot my paw."
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his
dentist's Novocain during root canal work? He wanted
to transcend dental medication.
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel
and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent
tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager
came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting
in an open foyer."
There was a man who entered a local paper's pun
contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope
that at least one of the puns would win.
Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
A woman had twins, and gave them up for adoption.
One of them went to a family in Egypt and was named
"Amal." The other went to a family in Spain, and they
named him "Juan." Years later, Juan sent a picture
of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she
told her husband that she wished she also had a
picture of Amal. Her husband responded, "But they are
twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
And the worst of the bunch:
These friars were behind on their belfry
payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to
raise the money. Everyone liked to buy flowers from
the men of God, but the rival florist across town
thought the competition was unfair. He asked the
good fathers to close down, but they would not. He
went back and begged the friars to close. They
ignored him. He asked his mother to go and ask the
friars to get out of business. They ignored her too.
So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the
roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade"
them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed
their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close
their shop. Terrified, they did so - thereby proving
(are you ready for this?!)
that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

The new priest is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the
older priest to sit in on his sessions. The new priest hears a
couple of confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the
confessional for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross you arms over your chest, and rub
your chin with one hand." The new priest tries this. The old priest
suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I see, yes, go on', and
"I understand. How did you feel about that?"
The new priest says those things. The old priest says, "Now,
don't you think that's a little better than slapping your
knee and saying 'No ****?!? What happened next
Which of these is funny?
I like all of your jokes and I think it's pitiful that some people have nothing better to do than report others for having a little innocent fun.
