The Renaissance – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration

-
TGIF!! Happy Inspiration Friday! Are you ready to go back in time?

This inspiration Friday is brought to you by my wonderful friend Dawn who gave me the idea to do a Renaissance inspired wedding. Thank you Chicago for having a renaissance fair to inspire the great idea!

When considering doing a wedding of a past era I suggest going 50/50 direct vs. implied inspiration. For example have a couture gown with renaissance inspiration and then use a cake toper that depicts a direct image of the renaissance period! This will give creative new ideas for your wedding while keeping the renaissance theme intact. Also incorporating new items into your wedding theme will give it a unique feel that your guests will enjoy!

Lemon Lime – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration

Happy Friday… The sun is shining here and it’s so warm out. And when it’s warm you always need something to quench the thirst. Hence our lemon lime blog today. We have been loving the fruit infused floral centrepieces that have been going around. It adds such a cool uniqueness to any wedding. They are also quite affordable because you can choose to use flowers and fruits that are in season. A huge variety of colours to choose from and eco-friendly too if you stick with locally grown fruits and flowers. Yellow and green are colours you can never go wrong with. There is so much inspiration in nature that you will have endless ideas with that colour choice (and endless food recipes' and desserts). And since lemons and limes are natural yellows and greens we are using those refreshing, thirst quenching fruits as our inspiration for the blog today. Hope you enjoy. As always be sure to check out our Wedding Affiliates Store and Paper Flower page for some great items for your wedd

Happy Friday to all our readers! Last week we finished up our Movie Lovers Mini Series … Hopefully you enjoyed it and if there is ever a TV show or Movie you would like to see turned into inspiration for your dream wedding (or even just for fun) Contact Us , cause we’d love to feature it on our next Inspiration Friday. This week we are getting powered up to give you ideas for Winter Weddings . This week we took the colours red and purple (which can feel like summer and warm season colours) and turned them into a great winter wedding inspiration board. Winter, of course being ever so white (in Canada anyway), is a great backdrop for colours so don’t be afraid to add some pop to your winter wedding. Usually winter colours are deeper and tinted but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be rich..
