It’s Easy Being Green!

Posted by Michal

Earth day and spring rain bring two things to mind; the color green and fresh spring grass! Wheat grass is easy to grow and makes wonderful centerpieces, place card holders, and favors. Spring brings new life and renewal to the planet, and you can reflect that by using green grass reflections in candles, placemats, cakes and placecards. Remember to reuse and recycle!

While Spring still seems light years away here in NYC, it’s never too early to start predicting the coming season’s trends… and I’m calling for gingham!  In keeping with everyone’s current love for rustic weddings, I think the old-fashion checkered print is going to be BIG for Spring – Dorothy from Wizard of Oz BIG!  Here’s a little gingham mood board to give you a jump start on inspiration!

Vintage Italian Vineyard Wedding

Posted by Michelle

I love this vintage Italian vineyard wedding shoot found on Ruffled. Shot by Sedona Bride and styled by Margaret of Van Damme Weddings in the fashion of the 1940′s, the concept shoot contains mismatched plates and glasses, vintage luggage, and beautiful bright, rustic flower arrangements. Gumballs in large hurricanes surround pillar candles – so smart for adding some bright colors!

Luck Be a Ladybug

Posted by: Michelle

Ladybugs represent good luck and fortune, making them sweet and meaningful icons for Spring weddings.  And for those who haven’t found their soul mates yet… be sure to watch where one flies off to, as it’s an old superstition that a ladybug will fly in the direction of your true love!
