Wedding Details - Tablesettings

Jan 15 | Adding Color & Texture | by Cynthia
__________________________________________________________________________

We are suckers for details.  Whenever we research other blogs, our eyes are always drawn to the various details that make a particular photograph so interesting.  It could be a color, the texture of the linens, the way that eveything is mixed, yet matches, or it could be something as simple as the light streaming through a window.  As designers, we know that details are important because the sum of the parts is what your guests will take away in their memory bank when they recall your event.

We are particularly drawn to table settings.  It is one of the reasons I became involved in designing weddings - I wanted to make sure that the tables that your guests sit at are as beautiful as the rest of your event. Whether your style is contemporary, rustic, minimalistic, earthy, vintage, modern or a mixture of all, paying attention to all the elements that go into setting a beautiful table is very important for the final look. 

Here are some of our favorites.

2014 Wedding Trends

Dec 29 | Gray & Pink | by Cynthia

Gray and Pink continue to be strong contenders in the coming wedding year.  We completely understand why.  These two colors compliment each other beautifully!  You can go strong with pink, matching it to a charcoal gray to make this combo a drama statement, or {our fav} stay romantic and wispy with a softer blush pink and light gray tones. Either way, this dashing duo is sure to create a gorgeous wedding no matter what the setting!

2014 Wedding Trends

Dec 26 | Navy & Pink Outdoor Weddings  | by Cynthia
_________________________________________________________________________
We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday with friends and family.  We unpluged for the day to give our wedding minds a rest for the day, but mind you - only for a day!  We are already chomping at the bit for the New Year and will be sharing some of the 2014 Wedding Trends with you in the coming weeks.

One of the major color/style loves that we are noticing are outdoor weddings.  An outdoor event is a great way to express your individuality, show off a childhood home or embrace a rustic barn-styled event.  Add in the color trend of Navy and Pink and you have a fresh yet dramatic combo for a spring or summer wedding. We are totally crushing on a crisp snow white tent, lots of pink and white fluffy flowers, a gorgeous, sunny day and sweet smiles on your guests the entire time!

Friday Musings - Magnolia Rouge

Dec 20 | Bridal Blogs  | by Cynthia
______________________________________________________________________

Let's be honest, today's weather was less than stellar; cold, ice, snow, the whole wintry mix.   We decided that we needed to think spring and get with the green & color instead of the gray and drab, so visiting one of our favorite blogs, Magnolia Rouge was just the ticket to jump start our wedding hearts.  Finding this Photo Shoot on their blog shot by Anthem Photography cheered us immediately and we just knew that it was perfect to end the work week with, but it is the gorgeous vintage chair and wedding cake that get our hearts racing and up the wow factor!
