Then we would be transported to our hair salon on a fluffy cloud carriage pulled by miniature unicorns…you get the idea. These ideas were all just slightly insane. Thankfully, I hired a professional florist to do the flower picking for me. We at the BRIDEfinds office have been down the aisle a time or two — trust us, your wedding day will be crazy and borderline chaotic. You won’t have a lot of time to stop and smell the roses. Editors’ Pick: ‘Wifey’ terry-cloth hoodies; Plum Pretty Sugar robes. Make your bridesmaids wear something similar for great group shots, too. 2. Always be prepared. 3. Stick to the basics. 4. 5. Pace yourself… it will be a long night. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Poetree: A Funeral Urn That Lets You Plant A Tree From Ashes Images: Margaux Ruyant Though conventional 'deathcare' is hardly green, thanks to the use of embalming chemicals, concrete vaults and non-biodegradable caskets, burials are getting greener each year with various eco-friendly options and smarter approaches. But what about keeping it simple, yet also tying death back into nature's cycle of renewal? That's what French designer Margaux Ruyant does with Poetree, a funeral urn that infuses a poetic spirit into the mourning process. Poetree is a funeral urn that evolves over time, allowing loved ones to plant a tree in the ashes, while also providing a simple but elegant monument. The Poetree is made out of a ceramic ring with the deceased's details, plus a cork container and stopper. After giving the boxwood tree some time to grow, the urn can then be planted outside, where the cork container can biodegrade, leaving only the ceramic ring as a marker and a living, growing tree to commemorate those who have passed on.

The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. Natsumi has a way of making us feel as though she naturally levitates throughout life. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website
