Flowers are beautiful but….
Flowers play a part in so many of our rituals and ceremonies. From adorning a wedding aisle, laid as a wreath to remember those who died in war, or given as a gift to a bereaved family, flowers can enhance a ceremony and evoke memories and emotions. However, there are many alternatives to the traditional use of flowers. Celebrant and regular blogger, Mel Lawson shares some fabulous ideas......
Mother’s day is approaching and although the COVID-19 restrictions are being eased in many areas, we still need to be very cautious about travelling and spending time with family. Celebrant and regular blog contributor, Mel Lawson shares some ideas on how we can connect with our Mums this year.
Spring certainly makes you think of flowers, new life and sunshine after the cold wintery months. However, while a day full of glorious spring sunshine would be great, keep in mind that the weather is still a little unpredictable, so take this into consideration when you are choosing your venue.
Contact one of our TCN Celebrants and start sharing your spring wedding ideas!

Mother’s Day Selfie: Start another family tradition of taking funny selfies of your family with your Mum as the central figure. Then you can print them out and make a collage of the day. You can look back on that every day and remember how special your Mum is.
What about some fabulously fun ways for the grown ups to celebrate Mother’s Day?
A family reunion - gather all your beloved family members together at a park or someone’s backyard and whilst you bbq and share out the potato salad, you can share stories of why the mothers in the group are so wonderful.
Share in your Mum’s hobbies - maybe gardening is her passion, she might like old Doris Day movies, or she might just love pottering in the kitchen making those mini cakes she’s famous for - get in there with her. Learn, laugh, love.
Surprise Mum with a “This Is Your Life” Ceremony - all you need to do is speak to a celebrant and together you can pull off the most fantastic surprise for your Mum.

Every year my Mum says “All I would like is some flowers and and choccies. I don’t need anything else.” But she does get more than that, even if she doesn’t realise it.
I’m not talking about tangible, wrapped handkerchiefs or scented candles or soaps, I’m talking about the unconditional love, admiration and gratitude for everything that she does for me. To me, she is more than my Mum - she’s my best friend and it brings a tear to my eye to even say the words ‘I’d be lost without her’, but there are lots of people out there who will be celebrating Mother’s Day without their Mums. Your Mum will always be special and it's important to keep them in your memory.
* Make her favourite recipe
* Sew all her old scarves together into a patchwork quilt
