Fall has always been a fun time to play with a colour palette. Like the leaves floating down from the trees, there are so many hues of red, green, yellow and purple to choose from.
But what stands out this year is the trend towards soft antique shades such as dusky rose and sage green, coupled by the punchier ones of navy or teal.

Let’s take a look at what some of the brides with a theme in mind will be wearing:
A Rustic/Vintage look might mean you can go with a sage green and white combo. Bouquets will add the accents to this muted palate.

RSVP Bouquet suggestion:
White hydrangea, Ranunculus, Roses and Eucalyptus
Or
Asters in burgundy and pink, Cala lilies with similar coloured roses and green
accents.
For a Vintage with an added sense of fun are jewel-toned gowns. Each maid gets to shine in her own 1920s or 30s original gown. Hair bands, boas or fascinators complete this look, while the bride glows in her own retro white lace.

A Classy look for fall is the pairing of midnight blue or blackberry with white. Not only is this a classic look, but it is easy to work with and the contrast between bride and wedding party is dramatic.

RSVP Bouquet suggestions:
White hydrangea as the base, add Sonia roses, a dusky pink or a more sassy red. Again eucalyptus ties this together nicely.

A wedding in Teal and Gold is as eye-catching as an autumn afternoon. The rich tones of both of these colours lend themselves well to satin and silk fabrics. Decor-wise: Small lamps and candles hung from branches or in the trees cast a warm glow with this kind of palette
RSVP Bouquet suggestions:
Asters, Calendula, Sunflowers, Zinnia, Cala Lilies and Sumac leaves.

From Rustic/Vintage to Classic – to Playful, Romantic or Chic, the trends of 2015 are as individual as you are.
Have fun creating your ideal wedding!
Cheers!

Wedding styles seem to be growing with endless possibilities; it is remarkable we are expected to settle on one sole them – and stick with it! The influence of social media such as wedding bloggers and Pinterest open a new door for weddings, presenting all kinds of new ideas we never thought possible. The influence from these outlets have allowed the creation for wedding décor to flourish! We now have access to all kinds of DIY crafts, themes, bouquets, alternatives to alters and the list goes on and on, making it almost impossible to decide on one particular theme.
Whether you decide you want to stick with a traditional style wedding or branch out and try something new, there seems to be endless ideas for every bride and groom. However, if you are someone who isn’t sure and are caught between the two, the new 2015 trends compliment both styles, as it ties a traditional classic wedding with a fresh modern lift.
From foodie buffets to bouquets, here are the latest wedding trends for this 2015:
Floral Chandeliers: Hanging centerpieces
Flowers: Peonies & Eucalyptus
Bridal Party: One of a Kind & Mismatch
Wedding Invitations: Boho & Vintage Style
Refreshments: Craft Beer, Sangria & Local Labels
Cakes: Unfrosted or Hand Painted!
Head Table
Instead of the classical one line head table, we are now seeing tables set up with the bridal party seated on both sides – just like another guest table.
Tasting Stations: Foodie Buffets
Cheers!

This year, more than ever, weddings have been following a new style known as “Shabby Chic”. The fun theme incorporates a distressed décor while still keeping the glamour of a fairytale wedding. The “Shabby” part of the wedding often includes aged items, such as old glasses and dish wear, wore out furniture and miss matched items. However, in order to tie in the “Chic,” feminine and romantic pieces such as flowers and crystals are then added to complete this trendy look.
How did it start?
Many brides may think their wedding is following a new generational trend; however, this popular décor style got its name back in the 1980’s in Great Britain when it was mentioned for the first time in “The World of Interiors” magazine.
It is said that this style of décor was born in Britain, as they are known for their love for historical pieces. In light of this, many of the old homes in Britain were owned by the upper class and were furnished with vintage furniture. It was for this reason, distressed furniture received the image of being stylish and started the trend all together. Now, we see it everywhere from home interiors, to restaurants to now weddings! People are even purposely buying new pieces and making them look old, in order to achieve the trendy “shabby chic” look.
Here is some “Shabby Chic” inspiration for your wedding…
Cheers!

We are totally loving the printed bridesmaid dress look! They are not only for the bridesmaids, but any bride can wear this look as well. They are different options available out there from watercolours (Which we are sooooo in love with) to sequin and even polkadots! Just have fun with it, especially if you are looking to be different. Take a look at some of our favourite options below.

YOU MIGHT ALSO ENJOY:
Wearing heels on your wedding day: Yes or No
Heels are known to instantly add glamour, style and elegance to your look, and not forgetting that they make you feel sexy. Your wedding dress is just as important as the shoes on your feet. You want to look good, but be comfortable.
Are you a heel kind of girl? Do you wear it out for your girls night out events, at the office or even just to hang out? If not, its best to start practicing. Walk around the office in them, around the house or whenever the opportunity presents itself. Keep in mind wearing heels constantly can result in bad posture, blisters and worse case scenario, a terrible injury should you fall and hurt yourself. By practicing, you lower the risks of these issues occurring as well as avoid embarrassing tumbles down the aisle.
Remember, your wedding day is going to be a long day. Secretly carry a pair of chic flats with you should your feet start to hurt for any reason. You can even chose to alternate between the two, wear flats during dinner and change into your heels for your first dance. Just make sure they look suitable and they match the style of your wedding dress.
Don’t forget that pedicure!

How far would you go to find your dream dress?
Every bride wants THE DRESS, but where do you draw the line? How far over budget are you willing to go, and how far will you travel to get it? If the dress of your dreams was been offered at 50% off 8 hours away, is it worth the travel or do you settle for something similar closer to home?
Contrary to what we see on TV shows, like TLC’s “I Found the Gown”, the potential costs of obtaining the dresses may mean there is no deal to be had. The show is based on a discount bridal boutique (VOWS Bridal Outlet) in Watertown, Massachusetts. The designer gowns they have in stock are anywhere up to 80% off the retail price. Some brides travel across the country or even from outside the country to find the dress their heart is set on. For brides living in the area, what an amazing place! Even people a couple of hours away, who can make it a day trip, do it!
For the rest of us the question is, once you add up the costs of gas, flights or bus tickets, on the road meals and snacks, parking, and potentially a hotel room, how much are you really saving? Do the math, stick to your maximum budget, and try not to go looking with only one dress in mind. Try some dresses that are outside your usual style – and listen to the consultants! They know what they’re talking about! On the other hand, if budget isn’t a problem, travelling can be part of your bridal party adventure, one last single girls’ weekend…
