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.

A mermaid fit dress with silver ribbon and lace bolero accent by Jim Hjelm is paired with a simple silver bridesmaid dress with ruched bust. This wedding uses a silver and pink peony theme so the guests receive invitations with hand printed pink peonies to announce the special day. The ceremony and reception use uniquely painted silver chiavari chairs with silver and pink linens. The tables are decorated with beautiful "wish tree" centerpieces that give the guests that chance to wish the happy couple good luck with their new life together. The guests indulge in a beautiful three tiered cake that is topped with peonies in several shades of pink. At the end of the night, no one disagrees that this wedding is breathtaking.

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 - Purple & White

Hi everyone and welcome back for What to Wear Wednesday!

Obviously for a purple and white coloured wedding the colours for your fashions need to stick to that colour palette.

Let's take a look at some great inspiring fashions.

Enjoy!

Wedding Dresses:

For your wedding dress you definitely need to stick to white simply because if you use white for your linens/decorations/flowers and then choose an off-white dress, it would look dirty by comparison. If your feel that white is very overwhelming for you, why not try a coloured sash or detail in a shade of purple?

Bridesmaid Dresses:

For your bridesmaids' dresses, I definitely think that purple is the way to go. If everyone in your party is wearing white like yourself, then it is going to take away from the beauty of your gown! There are lots of shade options for purple. You could go with darker shades like aubergine and eggplant or you can go with lighter shades like lilac or lavender.

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.
