{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!

{Table Top} Destination Paris!

Good evening everyone!  My gosh I have been such a slacker this week, but never fear!  I have returned with some beautiful inspirations for a Parisian themed wedding!
As it is with your fashions, the colours that you choose to use for your Parisian themed wedding are really that important.  It is more important to create the Parisian atmosphere by using chic designs and decorations.  If you are looking for a little colour guidance, I would suggest using chic and modern colour combinations.  Try using grey as a neutral against bright and vibrant colours like yellow, blue, or pink.  Or pair chic pastels together to create a very soft look to your day.  The choice is always yours!
So, let's take a look at some great inspirations!


{Decorations, Centerpieces, & Table Settings}
Nothing says Paris like the Eiffel Tower!  Use this in your wedding as centerpieces or decorations and you will have the perfect Paris themed wedding.  Also, try adding balloons or umbrellas to your decor to give it a little Parisian pizzazz! 

{Stationary & Favors}

The same goes for your invitations, stationary, and favors!  Think about things that really represent Paris, or how the idea of Paris and France makes you feel.  Try using fashionable and chic designs like stripes or filigree, then pair that with a beautiful flower, a lovely lantern, or of course the eiffel tower!

{Desserts}
The dessert of choice for a Parisian themed destination wedding is simple ... MACAROONS!  And the beauty of macaroons is that they can be made in a multitude of colours and flavours like green tea, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, lavender, chocolate, and vanilla.  You will always have a perfect match no matter which colours you choose!

Tomorrow you're invited to a Parisian Themed {Weekend Wedding}!  Be sure to cast your vote for this week's poll!

{Table Top Tuesday} Pink & Silver

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back for the first {Table Top Tuesday} of 2010!
This week we will be looking at the fantastic colour combination of Pink & Silver. I used this colour combination as an option for the December poll. However, it really can be used for any time of the year, it simply depends on how you use each colour and what is available to you! It is a softer palette that is more modern and sophisticated simply by using a metallic neutral colour rather than a more familiar neutral like white, ivory, black, brown, or navy blue. Let's take a look some great ways that this palette can work together to give you a very memorable wedding!

{Table Settings & Decorations}

Personally, I don't know that many silver flowers. So, if you're looking for the best look that is the easiest to achieve, I would recommend using silver or metallic grey linens and decorations for your tables and ceremony while using pink accents. This makes a great visual contrast and makes the silver pop!

{Stationary}

For your stationary, you really can go either way, it simply depends on your personal preferences. Hand tied pink ribbons or bows make great accents to invitations, as do silver brooches and buckles.

{Desserts}

Pink and silver deliciousness! Candies, macaroons, cupcakes, and cake! Enjoy.

Check out {What to Wear Wednesday} in Pink & Silver tomorrow and be sure to cast your vote for next week's colour combination before it's too late!
