A Weekend Wedding - Brown & Red

Welcome to a Weekend Wedding!

A white halter dress by Galina at David's Bridal is accented by a brown tea length halter dress by BCBG at Nordstroms and the groomsmen are in brown suits to match. The guests are invited by the delivery of gorgeous brown and ivory invitations that are accented with red poppies for a bit of flair. The ceremony takes place in a winery with beautiful stone walls that is decorated with an elegant red carpet and simple, yet classic, white chair covers with brown bows. The outdoor reception uses beautiful red roses for centerpieces and simple ivory linens to give the celebration a lighter atmosphere. And finally, as a traditional wedding cake alternative, Jamaican Rum cakes (a favourite) with brown drizzle icing are served.

It's the Little Touches ...

These simple, yet gorgeous, candles with red rose petals are a great way to both accent and light up an outdoor reception.

Aren't these favor boxes just the cutest? Perfect for a Brown and Red themed wedding AND perfect for the fall!

Turn your something blue into something red! Why not try a comb, some pins, or a clip with red flowers to finish off your perfect wedding day hairstyle?

What to Wear Wednesday - Sunflower Theme Edition

Hello everyone and welcome back for What to Wear Wednesday!
Yesterday we looked at some really great sunflower themed table tops, stationary, and desserts in a yellow and brown palette with some accents of blue and red. The same goes for your wedding fashsions. Bridesmaid dresses in rich browns or bright yellow definitely scream sunflower. Or use some nice reds, greens, or blues to accent your main colours.
Like I wrote yesterday, sunflowers say bright and fun. So to match your theme, your fashions should definitely say the same. Dresses with fun cuts or cute accents are definitely the way to go. And for something as simple and elegant as a sunflower theme, you definitely want to keep your fashions on the simpler side. Let's have a look at some great examples.
Enjoy!

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.
