{Holiday Wedding} Cranberry Red & White

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to day 2 of my special week of holiday wedding themes.

Welcome to a {Holiday Wedding} in Craberry Red & White!

A wintery lace wedding dress with v-neckline and red sash by Christina Wu is accented by a cranberry red bridesmaid dress with scoop neckline and cap sleeves by Donna Rico. The bride and her maids carry simple and elegant bouquets of white and red roses. Snow white candles with red petals in clear vases light the way through the holiday air from the ceremony to the reception. A holiday elegance is established by draping the tables in snow white linens that are accented with piercing cranberry red bows and flowers. The guests sip on the couple's signature cranberry drink while they indulge in a non-traditional marshmallow cheesecake topped with sugared cranberries.

{It's the Little Touches ...}

This necklace and earring set by etsy seller msbelle is the perfect shade of red and they even look like little cranberries! A perfect gift for yourself or your bridemaids!

Little white boxes topped with real or fake sugared cranberries make great favor boxes for your guests!

Another great project for the DIY bride! Try hanging strands of cranberries above your tables or adding cranberries to pillar candle or floating candle centerpieces for that special holiday feel!

Check in tomorrow for day 3 of the week of {Holiday Wedding}!

What to Wear Wednesday - Brown & Red

Good evening everyone and thanks for stopping in for What to Wear Wednesday!
As you know, this week's colour palette is brown and red but the shades that you use are entirely up to you and your own personal style. Since both a white or an ivory wedding dress would work for this colour palette, I'll be focusing mainly on the bridesmaids' fashions.


Bridesmaids:
Both red and brown are great colours for your bridesmaids' dresses since they are both pretty much universally flattering. Your girls will look and feel great in a warm shade of brown. Then again, who wouldn't thank you for a sizzling hot shade of red? Or you really could use both! Try a dress in one colour and accent it with a bow, a sash, or applique in the other!

I don't know the specific desinger of these dresses, but aren't they gorgeous? And what a great way to make your Maid of Honour stand out from the other bridesmaids!
