Bring On the Brights!

I absolutely love the bright hues that seem to be taking over wedding boards, blogs, and shops these days.  It's so nice to see these colors as I look outside at rain, rain, rain!  Bright, vibrant colors are definitely en vogue for weddings these days.  I am seeing a lot of intense oranges, coral, purples, turquoise, lime green, and red in a lot of weddings.  I've collected a few of my favorite ways to use these colors below.

I love the rich, vibrant hues of orange and magenta in this tablescape.

Equally lovely is this intense pink bouquet, accented by gold-orange ribbon.

Instead of a flower girl basket or rose petals, how about these gorgeous flower wands?

Love this bright turquoise cake for a beach wedding.

Wow!  This fluorescent coral and turquoise table is stunning on the beach!

Love those bright colors against the black and white damask. 

Ahhh, those hot pink shoes and turquoise dresses.  Amazing!

How about intense for the diamond?  I'm sort of in love with this ring!

I just love our vibrant, almost shocking Striped Gerber Daisy boxes.  Perfect favor!

Beach weddings remain eternally stylish.  And we've come WAY beyond simple barefoot affairs on the sand.  Below are some of our favorite ways to add beach chic to your nuptials.

  
Check out this romantic nightime beach wedding.  Luminarias light the aisle for an intimate reception.

  
How about this for a gorgeous beach wedding?  The covered guest chairs are adorned with gorgeous fabric and flowers.  The aisle is strewn with orchids.  The trees provide privacy.  Simply amazing.

  
This tented beach reception is, in a word, stunning.  I know I would love the feel of sand-in-my toes as I sat and chatted with guests.

                 
Provide parasols for your guests to shield the sun.

                   
Replace the rocks with shells for a unique guest book alternative.

Favorite Pins This Week, Part I

We know you all love Pinterest.  We are going to periodically compile our "best of the best" of pins we collect every few weeks.  So here goes.  Below are some great wedding finds from the past week or so.

  
Love it....paint your ring finger in sparkles or an alternate color.
                           
Hot air balloon centerpiece.  So creative and unique.
         
We know mason jars are crazy popular for weddings.  Here, we like this one on a classic striped tablecloth dipped in glitter.

We love this purple wedding cake with the ombre effect in the color.

Beach wedding=GORGEOUS!
            
Cheesy no more......these gumball-shaped reception balloons make a classic statement in black and white.
