Orange, Pink & Yellow Wedding

Last week, we (Fort Wayne, IN) had numerous days of record breaking hot weather. Having 80 degree temperatures is unheard of here in March (it's usually only in the 40's!) – it was quite the treat. Everyone got their shorts out and tank tops on and acted like it was the dead of summer. But, unfortunately, it was too good to last. It was like an awful tease, and now it's got me craving the warm weather more than normal. To cheer myself up and set me back into summer mode, I decided to create a board that just screams WARM.

These bright yellows, oranges and pinks are so vibrant, they just make me happy. This would be an absolutely stunning wedding fully of energy, excitement and lots and lots of dancing. Perfect for the bride who isn't afraid to make a bold statement. I adore those orange shoes, love that big yellow bow, and believe it or not, the woman in the bright orange dress is actually the BRIDE! How awesome is that? I'll have to feature her on an unconventional dress post....she def. deserves it with that beauty!

Doesn't this board make you think of summer? Are you dreaming of warmer days as much as I am? (Booo to you lucky ducks in warm areas!)

Southwestern Wedding

What's more beautiful than a bunch of bold colors making their appearance at a wedding? A bunch of bold colors mixed with an earthy, rustic elegance perhaps. I just LOVE this combination of colors together. The deep orange, the turquoise blue, the vivid green – somehow it all just works together.

It makes me think of the many trips my family and I have taken out West. It's all so beautiful. I love the reddish tint the earth has there, the short, stubby shrubbery and the beautiful turquoise jewelry. I love how you feel like you could wear cowboy boots every day, and live outside taking in the scenery.

If you'd like to have a Southwest wedding, think: earthy yet bright colors, feathers, organic materials, weedy flowers. It'd be easy to pull off and would make your guests feel like they're part of a fabulous John Wayne movie!
