    This wedding that I have for you all today from Loving Legacy Photography is fun, bright, and full of DIY goodness! With a gorgeous color palette of pale pink, aqua and white, a fabulous beach location, and awesome details, this DIY wedding will be an awesome pick-me-up for your Monday afternoon! The bride, Kaitlin, has shared some of her planning insight with us too, so you DIY brides might be able to pick up a few tips! What (or who) helped you most in your planning process and/or on your wedding day? There really is no one person. I was surrounded by friends and family that helped every st...

    I love showing you something a little funky and off the beaten, trendy wedding path from time to time.  This beautiful cake is neither buttercream nor fondant (although we suspect that buttercream is the glue beneath the surface.)  The decoration here is chocolate, believe it or not!  The stunning marbleized effect is achieved by using transfer sheets with edible dye.  The chocolatier spreads tempered chocolate over the acetate sheets, and as it cools to a hardened (though still malleable) state, the cake is wrapped with the sheetsof chocolate for this incredible effect. I love the designs...

    I’m a big fan of aqua, and paired with yellow and white, the color combination is so perfect for spring. I could see daffodils and ranunculus in the centerpieces and containers of aqua colored glass. Would you consider this happy palette for a wedding or home design?

    Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and if you're in the U.S. like I am, I hope you had a fun 4th of July! I don't know about what the weather is like where you are, but where I am here in Georgia, is hot, hot, hot! And so when it came time to decide what colors I wanted to talk about today, I really could not think of a color palette that expressed the way I was feeling more so than this one. Aqua, orange and white are the perfect vacation colors. And although I'm not exactly on vacation, I sort of am in a vacation state of mind if that make sense. I actually have a ...

    {Aqua, Orange + White}Orange and aqua seem to just go hand and hand. Especially when you're thinking of trying to convey an island vibe for your wedding. Aqua distinctly symbolizes the ocean while orange is symbolic of the bright sun. Put them together and what do you have? A gorgeous wedding full of all the things that a good vacation are made of. Love the looks of this palette? Well, I'm here to tell you it's easier to put together than you could ever imagine with the help of our friends at Object Splendor. The board I created below was actually inspired by their 'Island Vibe Wedding' pack...

    {Deep Mint, Dusty Aqua, Gray + White}Nothing quite captures my heart more than this lovely shade of mint. It's the sort of color that I'm predicting we're going to be seeing a lot more this year for weddings and definitely the sort of color that is full of pretty possibilities. I adore this color when paired with this soft gray color. Because what's not to love? It's soft and subtle with just the right touch of elegance. {continued...}{Click to Enlarge}{top row}: bridesmaid dress by BHLDN, mint chapel, sparrownestdesigns,{bottom row}: cake via martha stewart weddings, fun dots, cake stand a...

    Alright, so bad news first: the site will not be relaunching its magablog inspired version today.Yes, magablog. For those of you outside the advertising industry, a magalog is a catalog with editorial content. Needless to say, I’ve spun it off my for my own purposes (though someone’s probably preceded me in coining it…) to describe the vision I’ve had for this blog since the beginning: a resource to help fill the three month void between your Martha Stewart Weddings issues (side note: seriously, Martha? Seriously? You’re killing us here!). Good news: the delay is because my longtime...
