{Sneak Peek} Starr & Sam

Happy Friday!  For the first weekend in months, we're not headed to the beach.  It's going to be a quiet weekend at home & that sounds just perfect.  My biggest decision will be choosing between the beach candle to savor summer or the pumpkin candle to celebrate autumn!  Before I have to make such a difficult choice , here is a sneak peek at next Wedding Wednesday:

Oh, this is just the most fun wedding.  Baby's breath galore.  Turquoise touches.  A little bit rustic, a little bit boho & a lot of perfect, it's sure to capture your heart.  Be sure to check it out next Wedding Wednesday!

Enjoy a great weekend!

Oh yeah, it's gonna be country, y'all!  Bridesmaids in cowboy boots.  Drinks in mason jars.  Plus gorgeous flowers & gorgeous Vermont scenery.  & much, much more!  Check back next Wedding Wednesday for every rustic detail!

tulip love

I feel like just yesterday I was saying hello to Spring; now it's almost time to say good-bye.  With Memorial Day just around the corner, my mind is dreaming of long, lazy Summer days of sunny days, beautiful beaches & refreshing ice cream.  Before we part ways with Spring, I wanted to give a final shout-out to my favorite Spring flower: Tulips!!!! 

I love the graceful simplicity of a white tulip bouquet for Spring Brides:

 

I love the unexpected, pretty look of a closed, white tulip bouquet for Spring Bridesmaids:

I love this white parrot tulip centerpiece almost more than words can describe:

Tulips, you have my Spring heart!

Tell me, what do you love about Spring?

baby, baby

I've never had an opinion about baby's breath one way or the other until now. I see it popping up everywhere in the wedding world & I'm falling in love.  Baby's breath is so simple & sweet, just my style.

Here are a few examples of baby's breath in weddings that made me fall in love:

The bunting is darling but the baby's breath arrangements make the statement for this ceremony altar:

Baby's breath bridal bouquet that is seemingly heaven-sent:

Delicate baby's breath mixed with fragile stephanotis is bridesmaid bouquet perfection:

Escort cards nestled in a bed of fluffy baby's breath is quite genius:

Varied containers wrapped with ribbon & filled with baby's breath makes the ultimate simply pretty centerpieces:

Best of all, baby's breath is inexpensive.  Music to the ears of Brides on a tight budget! 

Are you seeing baby's breath everywhere too?  Hate, Love or Like?  I vote LOVE!

shades of purple

One quick glance at my blog, my web site or my current manicure & it's pretty obvious I like purple.  From the sweet, pretty look of light purple to the regal, grand look of deep purple, I'm pretty much a fan of any shade of purple.  Unfortunately, my husband doesn't share this purple obsession adoration & our home is purple-free zone.  I've been missing it lately so the obvious cure is sharing a lovely collection of purple bridesmaid bouquets with you!

I spy every shade of pretty purple in this lush beauty:

A sweet bouquet with a darling touch of light purple:

A gorgeous light & dark purple bouquet:

A dark purple/white dahlia is the star of this incredible bouquet:

A daring, beautiful bouquet featuring calla lilies with dark purple centers:
(this one is my favorite!!!!)

Purple, I adore your amazing self.  

Thank you for indulging me in my love of purple!  What is your favorite color?  Will/did you use it in your wedding?

touch o' green

In case you're not aware of the program, Koru Wedding Style has gone green in honor of St. Patrick's Day!  I kicked things off with luscious green bouquets fit for green-loving Brides yesterday.  Where is my green celebration taking us today?

Green bridesmaid dresses, my dears.  & the pretty bridesmaid bouquets to match!  Green may not top the list of most popular bridal party colors but green maids are fresh & pretty.

A good-looking bridal party in cheery kelly green dresses:

A darling white bouquet with yellow/green berries completes the look:

The happy bridesmaids are rocking their dark green frocks:

(does anyone else spot the slight wardrobe malfunction?) 

Such a heavenly delight of pale oranges mixed with light greens in this bouquet:

I don't see green bridesmaid dresses in many weddings but I must say after seeing these photos, I'm a fan.  A little touch of green makes for a beautiful wedding!

What color are your bridesmaids wearing?  How did you decide on a color(s)?
