I have lived and gardened in New Jersey for 11 years now, and in just this past month I have been noticing a big change in the bugs I happen to see. Suddenly, this past month I see several that I do not recognize. Is there some explanation for this, like global warming stuff, or increase of foreign imprted items that may bring them over? I know its a weird question, but I think it is so strange…
Wow! That’s really wierd because I am living in Missouri and used to be in NJ/NY area. There are Japanese Beetles EVERYWHERE! The people around here say they have never seen Japanese Beetles before. I am familiar with them from the New York area, but they are DESTROYING MY BUSHES. However, as you said they are not usually found around here. I do think the climate change has something to do with it.

For nice wedding pictures in the Atlanta area, what destinations do brides choose?
I’m new to the Atlanta area, and don’t really know the area that well. I’m looking into wedding pictures, and I want to choose a location that has beautiful landscapes, hopefully even beautiful architecture. Where do a lot of brides go to get their wedding pictures done in Atlanta? Besides the botanical gardens.
I would get recommendations from the photographer that you’re using. By looking through portfolios, find sites that appeal to you and ask where the pictures were shot.
I’ve seen brides photographed at the gazebo in Marietta Square, in various parks (including Leita Thompson in Marietta and Piedmont, in town) at Bulloch Hall in Roswell… and in front of various victorian homes.

Candle Wedding Favors Bring Light To Your Special Night!
Scented or not, colored to co-ordinate with your wedding party or classic white or cream, with a candleholder or just by themselves, candles make the perfect gift for a wedding favor!
With cnadles, the many styles, colors, shapes and price points available offer the bride-to-be an array of choices, allowing her maximum flexibility in matching her wedding style and budget. The following are ideas that can be used for a candle wedding favor:
Purchase and place individual candles at each place setting. These can be used to co-ordinate with the colors of the wedding. For an evening wedding, little tealight holders can be placed at each seat and the candles lit for the evening festivities, adding to the romantic atmosphere and then being taken home by guests as favors at the end of the night.
Wrap candle wedding favors in tulle, raffia or cello with ribbon (think gift basket-style) and pile them prettily on a little table where guests can retrieve their favor at the end of the evening. You may wish to include a little wedding tag with your names and wedding date engraved.
Candles in a candleholder make lovely gifts. Whether you choose a glass vase or hurricane lamp, in classic silver or ceramic, keep it classic and elegant and your guests will be sure to appreciate – and use! – the holder in the future as well. You might even consider holders engraved with hearts for a romantic and sweet reminder of your special day.
For a garden wedding, buy hanging glass lanterns and string them all around or on one tree with many branches, and give one to each guest as they leave. Or, buy little wrought-iron tealight holders for each place setting for adorable atmosphere-builders that double as favors.
Package it: A poured, scented candle in a box or glass container, or a candle of your choice in a gift bag with tulle or tissue can be a nice and unique favor.
Pairs: Wrap with tulle or ribbon and your wedding tag, and possibly include a set of in candlesticks. As always, the more classic the style the more likely your guests will find the favour useful in their own homes.
Sets: Try 3 candles of different heights or colors on a little tray. Add river rocks, confetti or colored marbles to personalize your gift.
Match the candles to the wedding theme: For a garden wedding, try candles in many shades of green. For a tropical wedding, perhaps candles in many tropical colors will add flair and style.
A trip to your local home décor store will help you with more ideas, and they may even assist you by offering bulk discounts on candles and holders. ASK clearly for what you want (it’s one of the best skills you can take into your new marriage as well, along with listening).
Enjoy your wedding planning, and most of all, enjoy your wedding!
