“Something Blue” Inspiration

Katie — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:19:23 +0000

Wearing Grandma’s vintage brooch for your “something old” (and borrowed!) is simple enough, and most brides have no problem picking out “something new” for their ceremonies. But what about “something blue”? What are your plans to fit this key piece of the old rhyme into your big day?

4th of July Weddings

Since the Fourth of July falls on a Saturday this year, it’s a popular day for weddings. Are you attending any Fourth of July weddings? Would you incorporate red, white and blue accents into your ceremony as a nod to the national holiday?

Tea Length Wedding Invitations

As a self-proclaimed lover of all things unique and different, I can’t help but fall in love with some of Wedding Paper Diva’s newest invitation designs. At my own wedding, I used ever-popular tea length bridesmaid dresses, which appear both modern and sophisticated at the same time. If you want to tie this same look in to your invitations, consider the Together Forever Wedding Invitations:

The graphic designer in me loves the text treatment–simple yet striking. You don’t often see landscape tea length cards, so this feature stands out to me as well.

Another tea length horizontal card that I’m loving is the Modern Bouquets Wedding Invitation in Verbena. The hues of blue reflect a very 2009 color palette, and the cluster of flowers in the corner denotes spring.

Inspiration Board: Slate Grey and Aqua

I have an unhealthy obsession right now with anything that is grey, particularly slate grey. I love it with any variety of colors, but for the upcoming winter season, I especially love it with a light blue aquamarine.

Bold and Beautiful

Yesterday I posted pictures from a vibrant orange and stunningly blue themed wedding. What I didn’t tell you was all the extras they included that really made their wedding stand out. The couple incorporated several surprises in the night that was a big hit with guests. One thing they did was rent a photo booth. A popular trend at weddings these days, guests practically ran over one another to get their pictures taken. Here are a few more pictures and one of Wedding Paper Divas’s own orange and blue creations.

Bold, Vibrant Colors

I went to another wedding this past weekend and it really showed me how color can bring energy to an event. The bride chose deep blue with vibrant orange to create a bold, modern look. Orange tones brought a sense of fun and liveliness while the brilliant blue brought a contemporary and formal contrast to everything from the bridal party’s dreamy blue dresses with tangerine sash to the tables decorated with bright orange blooms and sparkling blue napkins topped off with juicy orange daisies. Nothing about this wedding was ordinary. If you’re looking for a way to infuse excitement and liveliness into your wedding day, add this color combo into your decor.
