The Week in Review

Dec 28 | Christmas Week Loves | by Cynthia

Talk about a wonderfully busy week - Christmas holidays, getting ready for the New Year, sparkle and dash and so much more!  This was definitely a week to remember, so if you got caught up in the hustle and the bustle, no worries, we have everything covered here in one easy read for you.
Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to keep the holidays strong; 2014 is right around the corner!

We had a white Christmas and couldn't have been more happy for the gorgeous fluffy love that blanketed this romantic state. Winter weddings are wonderful times to use the sparkly snowflake goodness that we all secretly look for. We heart these inspirational photos and hope that they inspire your own winter loveliness.

Congratulations to our 2014 Radiant Orchid Wedding Inspiration Board winner!

Not only did our participant give us dazzling inspiration, but she also took her board one step further and created an entire Pinterest page giving us multiple photos of ideas. Thank you, Jalesa for your submission! Here is a sample of her board,

Our Tuesday's Dress Love, found us crushing on Christmas fashion. Whether you choose jewel-toned colors, soft and luxurious textures, pastel softness or sparkly and bling, the season definitely makes for some gorgeous gown selections for Brides and their Maids.

 

 

 

 

Wednesday found us unplugged and celebrating with friends and family.  Our day was quiet, reflective and filled with love and gratitude which is exactly what we wish for all of our readers!

 

 

 

 

We started our 2014 Color | Wedding Trends on Thursday. One of the major color/style loves that we are noticing are outdoor weddings. Add in the color trend of Navy and Pink and you have a fresh yet dramatic combo for a spring or summer soiree.

 

 

 

 

Since New Year's is just around the corner, we are in the mood for the sparkly, the gold, the silver and the glided. These dessert inspirations would be perfect for your own New Year's Eve celebration!

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can never have too many lights at your wedding and since we know that lighting can make a huge impact, we rounded up some gorgeous inspiration.  Whether it is in the form of up-lights, chandeliers, pin-spotting or large backdrop installations, lighting can add a dramatic look to any event. We are especially in love with massive amounts of string lighting to give drama to the humblist of venues.
