The Autumn Peacock: Get ya' Stroll on!




Your peacock stroll that is! Peacock feathers inspire a very beautiful wedding palette. However, most times the blues, greens, and purples in the feathers are the main attraction. There are some more subtle colors in peacock feathers such as nutmeg/burnt orange/rust, that would make for an elegant wedding if used creatively. This is a beautiful choice for an Autumn wedding, pair it with a deep purple, and use the usual teals and/or royals to accent. You CAN teach an old peacock new tricks! Be inspired! ~Mandi

2012 Color Trend Alert: Turquoise & Oatmeal



I realize autumn is coming to an end and we are approaching winter, but Spring wedding planning for 2012 is in full swing!! TURQUOISE is going to be a hot color this upcoming bridal season. You can dress this blue-green hue up or down. Turquoise will look great this spring with colors like fuschia, lemon, black, tangerine, navy, or my pick to pair it with: OATMEAL. This combination is cool and breezy enough for a garden or beach wedding, yet elegant enough for a church. Tone this pair down by adding chocolate, or pump some life into it with magenta! Be inspired! ~Mandi
