What to Wear Wednesday - Coffee Colours

Hello coffee lovers and welcome back for What to Wear Wednesday!
When you pick a coffee coloured wedding, your colours are mostly going to be in the browns and the taupes. So when looking for a wedding dress, I personally recommend an off-white colour like ivory, antique gold, cognac, or blush. However, if you are set on having a white dress, a great brown or taupe sash is a perfect way to tie it in with your colour palette.
When looking for bridesmaid dresses for this theme, it's obvious to stick to shades of brown. Lots of dress designers use great fabrics in colours like mocha, latte, cappuccino, and espresso - perfect inspiration for a theme like this one!
Let's take a look at some great dresses!
Enjoy!

What to Wear Wednesday - Green, Peach, & Pink

Hey everbody and thanks for stopping in for What to Wear Wednesday.
This week we've been looking at a Green, Peach, and Pink wedding colour scheme.
To me, these colours create a very soft and elegant looking wedding. So, you definitely want to use fashions that compliment this. Dress designers like Jim Hjelm, Lazaro, Alvina Valenta, Henry Roth, and Christina Wu are my absolute favourites for creating soft, sophisticated, elegant, and truly beautiful fashions.
When it comes to colours for your bridesmaids' dresses and your groomsmen's vests/ties, your choices are pretty obvious. I would concern myself more with the appropriate shades of greens, peaches, and pinks to create just the right atmosphere that you want. If you want your wedding to have a romantic feel, I would use a darker green (like a forest green or a hunter green) and very light and soft shades of peach and pink. If you want your wedding to have a more energetic feel, definitely opt for brighter shades of peach and pink and go for a shade of green with a bit more energy (like kelly green). Lets take a look at some great fashions that compliment this colour scheme beautifully.
Enjoy!
