The Beginning of Forever

Welcome to our Thursday Halloween Special.. and a Happy Halloween to all those who love this day! Today we are going to be looking at Halloween colours specifically Orange and Black. Now most cringe at the thought of an Orange and/or Black wedding but we wanted to throw away that stigma and show you just how beautiful either can be. Of course you can also mix inspiration from both to create your very own Orange and Black wedding theme. Using both bold and subtle ideas you will see that you could indeed have a full monochromatic wedding in either of these colours but also how to pull small accents to add a bit of these colours to your theme. The key for both is overlapping different shades with textures and finishes. Shiny with mat, dark with light, smooth with a raised finish. So let's start with Orange. Subtle with Bold is a prime example in the Orange inspiration board. Using a Subtle Ocre for the wedding dress and pairing it with a bold burnt orange suit for the groom. ...

Welcome to our Final week of the Wedding Inspiration Friday series of Gemstones and the jewel tone colours you can use to inspire your wedding theme. For our 3rd and final week we are exploring Tanzanite. Tanzanite  is a recently discovered gemstone, said to be connected with the traditions of the Masai tribe, who believe that it has healing properties. The Masai give tanzanite to newborn children, since it is thought to represent life. Representing Healing which for weddings is a very wonderful thing. To go into a new stage of life offering healing while accepting someone else would be a very good tradition to begin on. So lets's look at how you can offer Tanzanite, specifically Blue-Violet Tanzanite, into your wedding theme going with the feeling of calm, serenity, healing, and love. Below are the 3 different colour themes. Simple/Ombre great for minimalist are those who like a consistent look. Classic perfect for those who just want a pop of colour paired with neutral tones...

HAPPY FRIDAY! TGIF! Looking outside we can see that fall is slowly coming to an end. Yes after the tricks have been played and the treats have been eaten we start to get in to the feeling of winter. Colder weather stores beginning to stock the Christmas items. But we couldn’t end fall on the blog without a little fall wedding inspiration. While browsing through facebook a while ago I came across this very cute picture of a precious kitten engulfed in leaves. To me this picture is the epitome of fall. Specifically the colours. More specifically when I think of fall I think of the falling leaves in rich reds, yellows, oranges, and browns.. which of course is what most would think of.. but I also think about the little pops of sunlight we get with rich blue skies, or how all colours pop against the muted tones of the everyday fall light. Have you noticed that when we get to fall the landscape around you gives a more beige/grey feel.. colours really pop against this neutral back drop. ...
