A soft and feminine wedding gown with sweetheart neckline and pink satin band by Alvina Valenta is accented by a v-neck dress with pleated bodice in a navy blue hue. Long before the special day, the guests receive lovely navy blue invitations adorned with simple eclectic patterns and designs. The tables are draped in soft blush pink linens and beautiful soft pink roses. The guests indulge in a simple white two tiered cake with navy blue bands and pretty white piping. At the end of the evening, everyone is sent home with a trinket of thanks from the happy couple that is wrapped in a simple white box with a navy blue hand-tied ribbon.

Top off your wedding day look with a soft and feminine hair flower like this one by etsy seller myrakim.

Scarves or pashminas in a beautiful navy hue make great cover-ups for warmer weather weddings AND great gifts for your girls.

Here is a great little touch. Simple handerchiefs in blush pink make a unique favor.

Next week we will be looking at wedding inspirations in Red, Black, & Grey, hope to see you there!

{Floral Friday} Navy Blue & Blush Pink

Good morning everyone. Sorry for the late post but yesterday was my BIRTHDAY so I was a bit preoccupied with festivities!

Welcome to a late edition of {Floral Friday} in Navy Blue & Blush Pink!

There aren't that many REAL flowers that come in shades of blue, especially NAVY blue. However, if you want to have blue flowers there is always that option of going with silk or other fabrics. Obviously, they do have a different look than real flowers but in the end it's completely up to you wether or not that look fits with the overall feel of your special day. If you still want to incorporate navy blue into your flowers, you can always opt for accents like ribbons, bows, or pins.

Let's take a look at some great floral inspirations!

{Table Top Tuesday} Navy Blue & Blush Pink

Good evening everyone and welcome to this week's edition of {Table Top Tuesday}!
Since the result of this past week's poll came to a tie, we'll be looking at a Navy Blue & Blush Pink colour combination this week followed by Red, Black, & Grey next week.
The combination of Navy Blue & Blush Pink truly makes for a beautiful wedding. It's a little bit sophisticated and a little bit modern. It's also a great way to get around using a harsh black or a plain white as a neutral colour for your palette because navy is a great in between colour. Let's take a look at some inspirations!

{Centerpieces, Decorations, & Table Settings}

I will never tell anyone that they can't do something for their day. However, I will recommend for this colour palette that it would be better to use navy for your main linens or main decorations and use the pink to make soft accents in the flowers or even your girls' dresses.

{Stationary}

You can certainly go either way when it comes to your invitations, just make sure that it makes sense for your wedding and for you! You can pick one colour to go with, or use both by adding ribbons, bows, or other accents.

{Desserts}

Say it with cake ... :)

{Table Top Tuesday} Dark Blue, Burgundy, & Purple Wedding

Good afternoon readers and welcome back for the first Table Top Tuesday of December!
This week we will be looking at a colour palette of Dark Blue with different shades of purple like burgundy, magenta, and maroon. This colour palette is subtly romantic and is a beautiful palette for the winter months. Let's take a look at some inspirations!

{Decorations & Table Settings}

As we all know, deciding to use blue flowers really puts limitations on your flowers. So, I would recommend using the shade of dark blue for your main linens and even for your girls' dresses. This way you can use the various shades of purple for accents like flowers, favors, and stationary. Of course it is your vision and any of these colours would make beautiful linens.

{Stationary}

All of these colours would make beautiful stationary and the more colours that you use, the more pretty they will become. Because of the romantic nature of the colour palette, using script fonts would be an excellent choice.

{Desserts}

Oh my gosh, you all know how much I love this part! For your cakes or cupcakes you can really use any and all of the colours in the this palette. However, if you're looking for something to give them that extra something special, why not try a red velvet cake? This type of cake is not only delicious, but it gives your cake a nice purply-red colour, perfect for this palette!

Don't forget to cast your vote for next week's colour scheme and I hope to receive your nominations for the New Year's Top 5 Wedding Movie Countdown ... you never know, your favourite just might be #1!
