Entrance?

What a cool idea! If you are have your wedding at a historic venue think about the structure that is surrounding you. Change it up and find an unexpected location.

Look Out...Gray has Arrived!!

Gray is popping up in color schemes everywhere! Combining gray with a bright color and you will have the most amazing pop of color. You can even pair it with a jewel tone to get an ultra chic look. I am loving GRAY!

Bananas for this Cake

Make an Entrance!

When thinking about all the decorating don't forget the entrance to your venues. It will set the tone for the entire event!

Urn Candle Holders

Perfect idea for this decor!

Match?

Who said everything has to match. I love mixing it up with patterns. As long as you have one element that flows throughout you should be fine. In this case they stayed with the same color scheme.

Blues and Greens

These colors would make a great color scheme!

Who Says You Can Only Have One Cake?!

Boxed Flowers

You can purchase chic boxes just about any place to use for this centerpiece idea. You can even get plain boxes and do your own decorating with elegant paper and ribbon. You wouldn't have to add a ton of flowers to finish the look.

Melissa Sweet

Pinwheel Escort Cards

I love this idea! This screams a fun, energetic couple. Perfect for a summer outdoor wedding.

MIA!

I have been extremely lazy the last couple of weeks. I have not been keeping up with my blog reading or posting! I am one of those people that are completely effected by the weather. Now that it is getting cold and dreary all I want to do is curl up in a blanket and read a good book.

From this day forward I vow to post at least two blogs a week and stay current with my reading! Although as soon as there is a solid base on the slopes I can't make any promises. I can't wait to get back on my board!

Dress Combinations

I saw the above picture in an advertisement for David's Bridal and loved the look. We have been seeing brides give their wedding party the option to get a different dress in the same color for quite some time. Go a step further and mess around with your color palettes as well!
