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!

A soft and flowing one-shoulder gown by Maggie Sottero Destinations is accented by an irridescent green-blue strapless bridesmaid dress by Jim Hjelm Occasions. The ceremony is decorated in blues and greens, while overlooking the majestic water. While taking in the seaside breeze, during the reception the guests indulge in blue and green coloured candy and enjoy delicious slushie drinks. They will remember your fabulous wedding by taking home "Messages in a Bottle" that can double as place cards.

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.

Don't forget to check in on Friday for some Lemon & Lime inspired bouquets and floral elements!
