Put Some Spring Into Your Wedding...

We are coming upon the spring wedding season. When I think of spring I think of pastel colors and delicate flowers. This is a wonderful time of year when everything is in bloom. When planning a wedding most brides first start thinking of a color palette. Spring colors can vary and there is no right or wrong. You can choose the pastels with white or you can be a little daring and think brighter. If you choose to be bold... the grassy greens with lemon yellow is stunning. For a touch of elegance go with a light mocha and a pale blue. Either way show off your unique style.

For your spring centerpieces avoid dark containers and focus on light and airy glass vases or baskets. Whatever you do, don't be stuck on just flowers in the center of your tables. Some of the most beautiful elegant centerpieces are those of fruit, candles, herbs, or berries. Also, Spring is a great time of the year for accenting your centerpieces with ribbon. And as I always say...Mix it up! Not every table has to be the same. Although, one thing to keep in mind with your centerpieces is that you want to make sure it is not a distraction to your guests when it comes to being able to see each other. Of course there is only one rule to follow... Have Fun and Get Creative.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Have you ever wondered where where that saying came from? Why is it that you run around on your wedding day looking to borrow something that hopefully will be blue. Is it to stress you out or give you the luck you need on your wedding day. Well let me shed some light on this tradition for you. "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe" is an Old English rhyme. Yes, this British Custom is supposed to be your good luck charm. Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for the future; something borrowed symbolizes borrowed happiness; something blue stands for purity, love, and fidelity; and a sixpence in your shoe is a wish for good fortune and prosperity. If you choose to partake in this custom you can look to your mom, bridal attendants, and family for some of these items. Keep in mind the "Something New" you can buy for yourself. That's right girls, one more reason to go SHOPPING!!!!
