Posh Patriotic

With Memorial Day just around the corner you might want to include some star spangled style.  It is very easy to make this theme tacky instead of tasteful.  Try using lighter shades of blue and darker reds to avoid the harsh contrast that primary colors can create.  I have put together some images that illustrate these tips and show you some posh patriotism.

Gothic Glamour

Not every bride is in to the traditional white and pastel wedding that so many are used to.  More often now we are seeing brides think outside the box and be more dareing in their color and decor choices.  From black on wedding dresses to skulls on the cake offbeat brides are becomig the norm.  I wore a purple and black feather fascinator and my dress is pictured below in the images.   I have put together a little inspiration board for those delightfully dark damsels about to tie the knot, so enjoy and I hope this inspires!

A Bright Summer Palette

This season is all about bright and vibrant colors.   One of the most popular color trends I have seen is tangerine and navy blue.  This color combination provides a high contrast and vibrant accents. I have put together a board of images that I hope will inspire you in your wedding planning venture.
