Welcome to a weekend wedding with a touch of Lemon Zest!
Enjoy!

A beautiful strapless pick up gown by David's Bridal is accented by a very sweet looking strapless yellow bridesmaid dress by Alvina Valenta. Lemons and limes are everywhere! Using limes as place cards and lemons in the centerpieces are a really unique way of incorporating them into the theme. Cupcakes are very fashionable for weddings, plus they're great for a wedding that is a little informal. These cupcakes are lemon flavoured and are accented with lemon candies. Lemonade and limeade are served to the guests as refreshments.


It's the little touches ...

Floral Friday - Lemon & Lime Edition

Hello all and welcome back to Floral Friday!
This week's Lemon & Lime theme means that todays flowers, bouquets, and boutonnieres will be bursting with bright yellows and citrusy greens.
For a yellow bouquet, roses are elegant but you could also use blooms like yellow gerbera daisies, tulips, or carnations to make beautiful lemon yellow bouquets. For a green bouquet, flowers like green orchids or viburnums are great, but don't be afraid to utilize greenery or even something different like lotus pods. For even more creativity, you can combine to the two colours to really make your bouquets pop! Or, if you want to really stick with your wedding theme, why not incorporating zesty lemon slices into your bouquets?
Here are my suggestions for Lemon & Lime bouquets ... Enjoy!

What to Wear Wednesday - Lemon & Lime Edition

Hello All!
Welcome to another edition of "What to Wear Wednesday!"
I've been having so much fun with this week's Lemon & Lime theme! The colours just scream excitement and energy. So here's some awesome fashions that bring that energy out.


Brides:

I like the idea of a tea length dress like these two because it helps get the idea of summer fun across. (dress on right by Galina, dress on left by David's Bridal)

Of course a simple yet beautiful gown like this one from Destinations by Maggie Sottero can do just the same.

Bridesmaids:

This dress by Nordstrom comes in both a lemon yellow and lime green.


These lemon yellow dresses are a perfect compliment to a Lemon & Lime theme.

This citrusy green dress is from Jim Hjelm's Occasions.
