As all of our tech-savvy users know, we’ve been running a “Question of the Day” on Twitter (follow us at WeddingPaprDiva).  We recently polled our users on their wedding colors for some inspiration, and one of the responses we got was pink and black.

The many shades of pink available to brides will let each girl make this color scheme her own.  Today, I’ve chosen hot pink–the shock of color on a black backdrop is so stunning, your wedding will surely not be forgotten.  A close friend of mine used these colors for her wedding and I still remember the way the gorgeous bouquets looked against our black bridesmaid dresses, both in real life and in photos!

Planning a summer wedding? An ice cream bar is a great idea to keep your guests cool as they dance the night away.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Check with a local ice cream shop to see if they can help cater your event
• Be sure to select a variety of classic (i.e. vanilla and chocolate) and non-traditional flavors, as well as your personal favorite
• If you want to keep a cohesive theme, choose flavors that match your color theme
• Sites like Wrap it With Us offer great ice cream bar supplies from scoopers to bowls and more
• Forget the silverware.  Serve the ice cream with personalized ice cream cup spoons as shown below:

Happy Planning!
