Everyone looks good holding a parasol!

We’re seeing more and more playful parasols at weddings, and we suspect they’re going to be a big trend this summer.

Neon Nuptials

We were so inspired by Merci New York’s neon inspiration shoot that we decided to create this mood board with our favorite neon product picks. Check it out!

The bright and bold hues of these neon tights, shoes and accessories have so much playful spirit. And we’d LOVE to see a flower girl in neon green!

But if you’re worried an all-neon color scheme will be overwhelming, go for just a flash of neon with bangles, nail polish or lip tint.

Ribbon Wedding Aisle Runner

Oh, this ribbon aisle runner is lovely. And what a wonderful way to incorporate your wedding colors into your ceremony! Have some fun with this idea, and think about incorporating different colors, patterns and even textures. Just be sure to secure each ribbon strand to the floor, so that your wedding aisle stays put.

Wedding Color Palette: Sea Glass

We love the idea of planning a summer 2012 beach wedding around sea glass. Evoke the ocean with rich shades of blue and green for a brightly colored big day that will feel anything but washed out.

Have you ever seen a peacock in person? They’re absolutely stunning. We love the idea of using the striking colors and patterns of this majestic bird as your wedding color palette.

Wedding Color Palette: Grecian Blues

brides — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 15:59:28 +0000

We loved the photo we posted a few weeks ago of a bride celebrating her wedding day in Mykonos, Greece so much that it inspired us to create this grecian blue wedding color palette.

These relaxing blue and white shades feel especially appropriate for today, Labor Day, as we hope you’re having fun somewhere far from the office with lots of sunshine and tranquil blue waters!

Now that September is here, we’re adding rich reds and browns to our wedding color palettes. This wedding color palette is a tribute to both the summer beach sunsets we’re leaving behind and the autumn leaves on the horizon.
