Chic Color Selections- Chocolate Brown, Apple Green, and White

I feel like chocolate brown will always be a chic color for weddings. Brown can be paired with several colors, but I love this combination.

I love how this couple accented the green programs with the brown ribbon, you can even switch the colors around and have brown programs with green ribbon.

Or you can keep chocolate brown as the focal color and pull the green in with the details. I think it always looks cool, to add fruit or vegetables into your decor.

There are various ways to use this color combination, use you imagination!

The Real Wedding of Jhon & Haydee- May 16, 2009

I had the pleasure of helping Jhon and Haydee plan their May wedding. I was hired for Day of Planning services which started two months before the wedding date. Jen Bates Photography was their photographer for the day.

The couple chose red, black, and white as their colors to be used in a modern design.  The ceremony took place at Christ Church in Nashville.  The couple decided to have a custom aisle runner designed for the ceremony.

Packing for the Honeymoon

Packing for your honeymoon can be a stressful experience. Being organized will help minimum the stress, so first make a list of everything you need to purchase for the honeymoon. Then make a list of the things you need to pack. Once you put something in the bag, be sure to mark it off the list. This will help you not forget anything at home!

It’s important to have a carry-on bag with your essentials and an extra outfit, in case your luggage doesn’t arrive when you do.

Tips for Packing:

  • Bring shoes that will go with several outfits
  • Bring outfits that can take you from day to night with few accessories.
  • Be sure to check the weather for your destination and pack accordingly.
  • Roll your clothes instead of folding them, it cuts out wrinkles and takes up less space.
  • Make sure to label your luggage.
  • If you are traveling over seas, make a copy of your passport.

The honeymoon is the beginning of your life as a couple, relax and have fun!

Nail Polishes for Your Wedding Day

There was a time when bride’s would only have French manicures on their nails for their wedding. Now a days, brides are breaking out and adding more color to their nails.

Instead of the French you could do a nice pale pink, here are my favorites from Essie:

LuciousLips     balletslippers162

“Luscious Lips”                                                  “Ballet Slippers”

Or for a more bolder nail,

plazasweet446   597-Wife-goes-on-copy

“Plaza Sweet” a nice coral color          “Wife-goes-on” a pretty pink

longstemroses “Long Stem Roses” a true red

 

Choose a nail color that will fit and complete your look for your wedding!
