A Wonderfully Blue Winter Wedding

Today, we are feeling quite merry that we get to share this fabulous winter wedding! Arielle and Eliot were married in New Jersey, at the Valley Regency. Everything about this theme is perfect for the season.

From the Bride:
Throughout the wedding my husband and I wanted to take our friends and family on a journey with us. We had little parts of our personalities sprinkled around throughout the day. We had special touches, such as a cigar roller and a live painter.  I surprised Eliot with a groom’s cake, he surprised everyone with a guitar solo, and my dad and I did a one of a kind choreographed dance.

We had every detail covered, from a memorial for loved ones who had pasted, to our wedding hashtag on the cocktail napkins. On a special note: We even honored my aunt who is battling cancer with smiley face yarmulkes, and balloons for the bridal party pictures. It is a personal symbol of her journey, and when she walked in, she instantly knew it was for her.

Get your guests excited about your pink and coral theme with these lacy invitations. Their laser-cut design is a work of art—a keepsake your guests will cherish.

Flowers
Big blooms are a dramatic way to show off your colors. Give your arrangements a fun look with pops of fuchsia and bright pink flowers. Besides choosing wedding flowers based on your color theme, think aboutwhich flowers best represent your style—classic roses, rustic wild flowers, etc.

Lace
Dress up your decor with lacy details. Lace is a versatilefabric that adds a delicate pattern to decor, favors, chairs, tables and even your bridesmaids’ dresses. With so many differentstyles of lace, find the one that fits your classic, rustic or vintage style.

Bridesmaids
Create a beautiful textured and colorful look with mix-match bridesmaid dresses. A popular trend right now is having bridesmaids choose their own dresses. By letting your bridesmaids find their dress (with your color theme and style in mind) they find one they love and within their budget.

Tissue Poms
Nothing says “party” like big balloons. These paper honeycomb balloons give helium balloons a run for their money. They’ll add texture and color to your venue, as well as a festiveparty feel. To addmore “wow” to your paper balloons, add hanging pom pom streamers. Here is a how-to tutorial: Geronimo Inspired Pom Pom Tutorial .

Bouquet
Out of all the wedding flowers, a bride’s bouquet is the most personal and important flower arrangement. It is the bouquet that is special and unique to each bride. For something that stands out, leave the greenery for the bridesmaids and table arrangements. Have a bouquet created that is filled with gorgeous peonies and garden roses.

Cake
Make your wedding cake beautiful eye-candy for guests to gaze at. For the lovely cake decor, add delicate frosted flowers that are colored with pink and orange, for a lavish ombre effect. For a cohesive look, use the same types of flowers in your flower arrangements.

Cake Slice
Pink ombre really takes the cake. It’s a beautiful way to showcase the gradation of your color theme. Take this cake for example: Each layer uses a different color of pink, from rose to watermelon pinks. Cutting into this cakemakes for a big, beautiful surprise.

We can’t stop swooning over this color combo. So if you are dreaming of a spring or summer wedding, consider orange and pink in your wedding theme! Don’t leave any details behind, and infuse this pink and coral theme into your flowers, table decor, and wedding cake, to give your wedding something wonderfully spectacular.

Engagement Season: Save the Date

Since so many of our friends and coworkers around the office are getting engaged this time of year and there will be plenty more this holiday season, we wanted to share some of our newest save the date cards and save the date card etiquette.

After you are engaged, one exciting step along the wedding planning process is your engagement photo session. It is great to have an engagement photo shoot because it allows you to get to know your photographer better, bask in all your love, and the photos are perfect for a photo save the date card or save the date magnet .

Engagement Season: Save the Date

After you are engaged and have shared the news with your close friends and family it is time to send out your save the dates. These are sent out in advance to notify for your guests of the upcoming wedding and give them time to make travel plans, especially if you are planning a destination wedding or holding the wedding on a holiday weekend.

You should send your save the date cards around 6 months before your wedding and if it is a destination wedding around 8 months prior to the wedding.

Since you are sending the save the date before the wedding invitation you have the opportunity to be fun and informal, even if your wedding is going to be a formal event. This is the chance to show your true personality and creativity and have some fun along the way!

The most important thing to remember about a save the date card is that it shows your guests they will also be receiving a wedding invitation and will be invited at a later date. Etiquette states you cannot send a save the date card to someone and then not invite them to the wedding. Make sure you have time to work on your guest list before sending out these cards so no one will need to be “uninvited.” If you are not completely sure who will be on your guest list you can send your save the date cards to only your very close friends and family that will be attending for sure and later on send the wedding invitations to the other guests. This will ensure you are not committing yourself to any but your most important guests.

Here are some of our newest save the date cards. Which one is your favorite?
