GORGEOUS do the Last raindrop!!

This wedding was absolutely stunning, and so bittersweet. Many of you may remember that freak monsoon we had here in southern Utah a while back, well this amazing wedding happen to be that very same day. The rain came so hard and fast we barely had time to pull in all in-inside, the paper lantern were swept away in 30mph winds and even a few chairs and table were turned over. Luckily we were able to get it in side and the guest had an AMAZING time! The Bride was stunning! It could have been raining Volkswagen Beetles and no one would have noticed when looking at how happy and in love these two were. Congratulations to them both, and remember the old saying, "the rougher the wedding, the sweeter the marriage!"

For My Maggie

Uber Cute Umbrellas!:
This Post is for Maggie a very cute Bride of mine, she is thinking about doing a similar idea for her upcoming reception, and I wanted to show her a few different takes on the "Umbrella Dropped Ceiling" Fun and unique and totally unexpected. I will also post follow up pics of the final product in a few weeks.

Super Fun and easy to do....

Above is my little BRIDAL creation of myself.... yes I know that I have been married a long time, but this is a really fun, free program that "the knot" is offering. Just go to http://weddings.theknot.com/myinnerbride/Default.aspx and you can use their program to design your own Bride. Choose her face, hair, body, dress, accessories...the works and then you can share it, email it or even post it on your own blog. It only took about 5 minutes, and it is fun to see everybodys creations. Send me a link to yours and I will post it on our website!

SEAFOAM GREEN, PEWTER AND SALMON

I really love this combination of soft yet intense colors. The creamy pinks, peaches, and greens can compliment a wide range of event dates and venue locations. Bits of lace, vintage containers, glass jars and ribbons can add help define your look without going over budget.

PINCH and PUSH: HOW to PINCH your pennies and WHERE to PUSH them to...

PINCH: Ask older relatives, check online, or search local thrift stores and yard sales for bits of lace, ribbon or perhaps a unique container for the centerpieces. Turn your project it into a scavenger hunt. Enlist your family members, bridal party and relatives, many will be more than happy to keep and eye out. Or take several weekends with your HUSBAND-to-BE and go "antiquing" or "yarding" (our term for yard sale-ing) When you see the finish project, it will be a tribute to the wonderful weekends you spent together.

DIY: How to save more $$$
Turn your found treasures into creative centerpieces by adding individual flowers, fall leaves, unique branches groupings of several stems of the same flower. Keep in mind that when you want to show off unique centerpiece containers, the arrangements need to be kept simple.

PUSH: With a theme and color palette this soft, there are a few places that are key.
Your invitations and corresponding stationary will be your guests first introduction to your wedding theme. Classic, elegant invitations can make a big difference. Spend a little extra and upgrade to a heavier paper with maybe a champange finish, or metallic lettering.
The other area that shouldn't be overlooked is the linens. When using a variety of simple centerpieces it is a good idea to keep the linens the same throughout. A pewter lame', heavy silk shantung or even a romantic print can make a world of difference. Have your Designer or Wedding coordinator do up a few tables with different linens so that you can get a visual on what a difference nice linens can make.

Purple Reigns

This tiny STYLE FILE so simple, but i fell in love with this deep regal shade of purple. From the Brides elegant plum heels paired with the dark purple orchids and eggplant tulips in the Brides bouquet. Sometimes less is SO much more!
