A simple and elegant halter neck wedding dress with gathered bodice by Jim Hjelm is accented by a sweet v-neck bridesmaid dress via Nordstrom.  The groom and the groomsmen show off a big pop of colour with bright yellow ties with purple accents.  This wedding is inspired by the brightness and and colourful nature of springtime, so eye catching flowers are used everywhere from the ceremony to the reception to the stationery and the cake!  The reception tables are draped in purple and yellow satin linens that are bold and eye catching.  The guests are given simple hand fans with personalized tags to help ward off any unexpected springtime heat.

{What to Wear Wednesday} Jade & Ivory Wedding

Gosh, I don't know about where all of you are, but it is a wintery afternoon where I am! That means its the perfect time for a wintery Jade & Ivory {What to Wear Wednesday}!
Like I have been saying all this week, these colours are an elegant alternative to the traditional winter wedding colours. Let's take a look at some fashionable inspirations.


{Accessories}

To give your dress or your girls' dresses a wintery feel, why not add a cute wrap, bolero, cardigan, or pashmina?

{Bridesmaid Dresses}

For your girls' dresses you can go with either colour. However, if you are going to be wearing ivory yourself, you wont really stand out against ivory bridesmaids. I would recommend putting your girls in green. Opt for full length dresses.
