A beautiful color combination makes for a bold statement! Check out these wedding ideas!

Choose a color bloom, such as lemon yellow, and give each bridesmaid their own signature flowers to carry. A fun and creative way to showcase your color scheme.

Design your tablescape using bright yellows, pops of ivory, navy linens and candlelight galore!

The white vases , candle ware and china pop off the navy linens and provide a fresh backdrop for the luscious yellow flowers.

Last but certainly not least, why not send guests home with a fun toy to remember your big day that also serves as an escort card!

Nothing says warmth and romance more than a winter wedding. Every year we spend our holidays designing weddings with a winter scape. As with any design, I usually begin with an inspiration. The wedding I am currently working on began with just this photo.

Reminiscent of the royal wedding of 2011, this church was decorated with an aisle lined with all white curly willow. The branches were secured to the pew ends to give the effect of snow-kissed trees illuminating the way for the bride to her groom.

Winter weddings work best when elements of the outdoors are brought inside and transformed into a magical wonderland.

From this picture, I am planning the centerpieces which will entail crystals, candles, branches and lush bouquets of all white flowers.

The head table will showcase a line of all white vases filled with tufts of babies breath and linked with pearl beads. The babies breath is reminiscent of large, beautiful balls of snow! The other tables will alternate arrangements with large branches dripping with crystals as well as candlestick groupings to being in the soft, romantic glow of winter.

Last, but not least, I am mulling over the bouquets and other personal flowers. My idea for the bouquets includes tufts of all white blossoms including cymbidium orchids, spray roses and garden roses with crystal embellishments on the handle.

The Bridesmaids will showcase all white blossoms against black dresses with a simple version of the bridal bouquet.

For the men I was thinking of miniature cymbidium orchids with soft tufts of willow and wrapped with a sleek grey ribbon.

As you can see, a lush, winter dream wedding is only a wish away.

Get creative.

Hunt for ideas.

Trust the professionals.

Watch your dreams take on a life of their own.

This year is all about

COLOR

Specifically, Brides are flocking towards hues of tangerine.

Pantone has announced the 2012 color of the year to be Tangerine Tango.

This year we will see a lot of color palettes playing up the bold yet stunning tangerine.  We are going to explore three different color palettes using this years hottest color. As we change the accent colors, it’s amazing to see the tangerine take on different personalities.

Our first inspiration board features the tangerine, lemon and hot pink. It makes me think of a beachside wedding on a tropical island

Tangerine flowers in this board feature mango mini callas on the groom. The Bridal bouquet brought the lemon and hot pink to life with hot peonies and bright yellow freesia. For a fun twist, tufts of white ostrich feathers accented the bouquet.

Our next board features tangerine and Tiffany blue.  This color palette is for the bride who is not afraid to use bright contrasting colors.

Centerpieces showcase tangerine colored makara orchids in white glass vases. The bridal bouquet is comprised of orange roses, orange lilies and orange hypericum berries.

Our last board features tangerine accented with wasabi  green. These colors add a modern twist to your wedding color scheme.

This gallery feature bright orange tulips.  The ring bearers pillow was comprised of wasabi colored button mums tied with a tangerine bow. The bridal bouquet contains vendela spray roses, wasabi mini cymbidium orchids, red gerbera daises and touches of tangerine miracle roses.
