{Table Top Tuesday} Pink & Green

Okay, I am sooo ready for Spring to come!  That's why I'm starting the first {Table Top Tuesday} in March off with this bright and fun colour combination.  The beauty of this combination is that it works no matter what shade you want to use, from soft pastels to bright saturated shades.  So, let's take a look at some great inspirations!


{Decorations & Table Settings}

I love the idea of using pink paper lanterns or floral pomanders as ceremony and reception decor!  They can be pretty in soft petal pink or fun in bright fuschia! 

Want a fun decor item?  Green apples can be used in centerpieces, decor, and cakes to create a unique look!  Want something a little more classic and sophisticated?  Try pretty table overlays with delicate embroidered details.



{Stationery}
The Pink & Green colour combination really gives you room to play around with different design elements.  It lends itself to traditional floral and filigree designs, as well as, more modern elements like polka dots and checkers.



{Dessert}
Here are some fantastic cake, cupcake, and macaroon designs that really work well with the Pink & Green colour combination.  Have fun with it, it's dessert!




Tomorrow is {What to Wear Wednesday} so be sure to stop in for some great Pink & Greek fashions!

Floral Friday - Mustard Yellow & Plum Purple

Hello everyone and welcome back for another Floral Friday!
I've got to be honest with you all, because of this week's colour combination, I am completely in love with yellow flowers right now! Just take a peak at this yellow dress and tie with yellow button mum bouquet and boutonniere combo and you'll see what I mean.


Obviously purple flowers are gorgeous, too, but I personally think that this colour combination works the easiest using Plum Purple fashions and Mustard Yellow flowers. Let's take a look at some floral inspirations!

Bouquets:
These yellow roses and yellow button mums are a perfect shade for a Mustard Yellow wedding.
Here's a great, unique addition. Add succulents and dark leaves to give a simple touch of fall to yellow roses and yellow button mums.
Take a look at the simple but beautiful calla lily bouquet on the left. And on the right, a gorgeous yellow rose pomander.
The bouquet on the left is a silk bouquet, geniusely put together by etsy seller modagefloral.
The absolute best plum coloured flowers in my opinion - purple calla lillies.
Boutonnieres:

Not busy this weekend? You're invited to tomorrow's Mustard Yellow & Plum Purple wedding!

Floral Friday - Chocolate Mint

Good afternoon and welcome back for a Chocolate Mint Floral Friday!
This week we've been looking at wedding themes in Chocolate Brown and shades of Mint Green. When choosing your flowers for a theme like this you may find some difficulty since most flowers aren't available in shades of green or brown. However, this means that you can get creative! Let's look at some inspiring floral inspirations.
Enjoy!



Bouquets:

Using beautiful green and ivory roses with brown accents creates a a gorgeous bouquet. The bouquet on the right uses perfectly coloured silk flowers accented with elegant pearls.

You could also use all green bouquets of roses or succulents. White and ivory accents create an elegant bouquet.

If you don't like the look of green and brown flowers, you can also use simple white flowers wrapped with a gorgeous brown or mint coloured ribbon.

I love pomanders! They are a cute and interesting alternative to the traditional bouquet. The pomander on the left uses brown ribbon and mint green coloured tissues, and the pomander on the right uses a rich chocolate brown ribbon with green berries.

You're invited to tomorrow's Chocolate Mint Wedding! And don't forget to cast your vote for this week's poll!
