Crazy about Flowers!
Seeing as it is officially Spring, what could be a better topic than flowers? What I LOVE about flowers for weddings, is that there is something for everyone in any budget. And your options are endless with flowers. Not only are they used in bouquets, they can line aisle ways, add life to centerpieces, or drastically change the look of your venue. One of my all time favorite blogs for flowers is Just Bloomed. The inspiration from that website is almost insane. It's really hard to narrow it down to a few favorites. But...I will try :)
You can keep it simple with flowers, or you can go all out...and the great thing is that either way you go with them, it will look great. Working with a florist is one of the most fun parts of the planning process, in my opinion. You can get as creative as you want! And let's not forget the added bonus when you get to take them home with you after the big day. I know I didn't mind having leftover carnations and roses around our house after our big day :)

Gown Spotlight: Monique Lhuillier
Not sure how many people tuned in to watch the Bachelor wedding of Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney this past week, but it was stunning. I was absolutely in love with Molly's gown, made by the amazing Monique Lhuillier. Isn't this gown gorgeous?!
I have always been a huge Monique fan as far as bridal gowns go, and when I watched this wedding, I knew there needed to be a blog entry in her honor :) Let's check out some of her work, shall we?
This first inspiration board is from the Monique Lhuillier collection at Kleinfields of Manhatten.
I love all the details in her dresses. Gorgeous! If you follow this link to The Knot, they have an entire gallery dedicated to the brilliance that is Monique Lhuillier. There is just something about her dresses that is dreamy. They are feminine, modern, and elegant, not to mention, classic. They are definitely one of a kind!

Color Me: Yellow!
I can't think of a more appropriate color to blog about today! Finally, some nice, Spring-like weather! And Spring time means it is getting close to prime time wedding season!
As I was putting this weeks inspiration board together, I couldn't help but be cheered up. And speaking of the inspiration board, can we check out that cake on the far right of the top row?! HELLO! As soon as I saw this cake, I fell in love. I'm trying to come up with excuses as to why I would need a cake like that now that I am married :) It is just really one of the most beautiful cakes i have ever seen. And trust me, I looked through picture after picture for our wedding.
Top row, left to right: Zappos, The Knot, The Knot
Middle row, left to right: The Knot, Google Images, Bellissima Vita
Bottom row, left to right: The Knot, The Knot, Tying the Knot
The options are all over the board with this color. Even lemons can be used for centerpieces. And speaking of lemons, I'm a huge fan of fresh squeezed lemonade in the Spring and Summer months, so there is an easy, crowd pleasing drink! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
I have noticed the color yellow being paired with a smoky grey a lot recently, and I am loving it! It's very modern and fresh. I found an inspiration board on Always a Blogsmaid that shows off these two colors well!
It's hard to choose my favorite color to pair with yellow...total toss up. How can you narrow it down? They all look amazing!
