A Variety of Colorful and Vibrant FlowersSometimes a bride may have a difficult time picking a particular color scheme because she likes lots of different colors and combinations of colors.

Getting Inspired: Colors & FlowersMy friend Christine just got engaged and is in the early stages of planning her wedding. She’s still nailing down a venue, date, etc but as she’s a designer by trade, her mind is already squarely on the fun, pretty stuff!! And that is fine by me because I love all that stuff and am always ready with an opinion and 900 inspiring images (only a slight exaggeration when I open my iPhoto!)

Popular colors for flowers in the year to comeIn the case of weddings in which predominant are the strong and bright colors you have to emphasize all the accent on pale tones for the flowers that are going to be present on the guests’ tables or in your outfit and that of the bridesmaids.

If we’re speaking about the bouquets for the bridesmaids then we’re definitely referring to some spherical bouquets made of roses and these have cream tones of course. These bouqu...

FlowersI still need to post about my experience with the florist, but for now I'll leave you with this picture! For the centerpieces we've tentatively decided on three tall cylinder vases in varying heights, filled with bright green hydrangeas and black river rocks on the bottom. So it won't look quite like the picture above, but you can get the idea of the green and black contrast! I am off to NYC for a meeting...hope everyone has a great weekend!...

Or just stay with the same idea throughout. Either way, flowers and decor can really make it moody.Flowers and Decor are typically 10% of the budget, can can go up-up-up if you are looking for something very specific or it can go down if you are looking for a simple minimalistic look.Most people have a vision of the type of lo...
