Blue Topaz – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration

-
Happy Friday! and a long weekend to boot! For all those celebrating have a Merry Christmas as I know I will… Also Happy Hanukkah too those celebrating! The holiday seasons are filled with joy and merriment but best of all filled with family and friendship!

We are continuing with our Winter Weddings special. This week we are inspired by the December Birthstone the Blue Topaz. Last week we did the December flower The Narcissus so make sure you see that blog too!

A stunning, vibrant clear gemstone that is quite perfect for the winter season. And what goes better with a bright blue in the holiday season? Gold… of course!! Gold and bright blue feed off each other bringing a subtle pop to wedding decor. But they also give the feeling of peace, relaxation, and serenity. Blue being a cool colour makes gold more vibrant! So don’t be afraid to swap the balance in the other direction then we have (more gold than blue) as they work well both ways!

Red and Purple Winter – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration

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..

Narnia – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration

Happy Friday!!!!! Hope you are enjoying a wonderful TGIF! We are entering the wardrobe to the amazing an unique world of Narnia today as we continue our Movie Lovers Mini Series this week. Narnia and Lord of the Rings are two of my favourite movie series ever!!! So this week I wanted to inspire you with a Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe inspired wedding! Although a Narnian wedding could be quite mystically themed, I decided to take a more whimsical winter vintage look. Being on the verge of winter and truly loving the benefits of a winter wedding (like discounts in the off season) I decided to make winter the more prominent inspiration for this Narnian wedding.

Happy Monday!! Hope the winter chill as not quite got you down yet. We are a midst or almost a midst the holiday season and so we are continuing our Winter Weddings series this Monday with a little Winter Modesty. In any location that sees colder weather during the winter seasons know that a bride who risks baring the cold on her wedding day will need a little extra fabric to keep her warm. Some believe that this can leave a bride looking a little plain or too prude, but the Rosa Clara collection begs to differ! With sleek, flowing, curve fitting gowns that add just the right amount of coverage to leave the bride warm but stunning! Cute bow accents, sleeves to keep you warm, and lace detailing to frame the face will keep the word plain far from the memories of guest who take glimpse of the bride. So here are our favourite gowns (with a but of modesty) perfect for winter weather. Winter Modesty And for the bride who likes to show a little more skin, but still wants to keep...
