I Love Color

One thing about planning a wedding is having to choose a choice two or three colors to be your palate for everything. And you stick to those colors. Or, at least, that's what some people say. What if you chose a bunch of different colors, and just enjoyed them all in their natural variety? Bam! That's today's wedding.


First thing I thought of, was how to have color in the wedding dress without 1. having a single color, like red dress, and 2. not having to go do David's Bridal. What came to mind? Gwen Stefani's amazing Dior gown that she had died Ombre style, with pink dye. What is ombre? It's that neat transitional dye look. We all learned a new word together!


So obviously, need ombre gowns for the bridesmaids, same general style, but each girl in a color that flatters her best, along with a matching bouquet (no more "is this bouquet yours or mine?"). For the bride, a gold bouquet. Yum-o! The groom in a black tux with a color tie and vest that best suits him, and his groomsmen in a tie and vest that matches the bridesmaid they are escorting down the aisle. LOVE IT!!


Bride's shoes are gorgeous! Royal blue peep toe, woof! The invites are all the same style, but different color combinations. This theme is then easily adopted everywhere else for the programs, place cards, etc. And with all the color options out there it's uber easy. For the aisle, petals of different colors, this particular shade scheme made up of tropical flowers. I love the parasols - a great addition and favor for outdoor summer weddings. And for the reception? Instead of having "table 3", have "blue table" and "orange table". And a last easy decoration idea - multiple colors of paper lanterns.


And the cake? Each layer, a different color. Mix it up even more, and have one layer in poka-dots, one in stripes, one in plaid....


Your wedding will be full of so much vibrant energy!
