Navy + LimeI really love this colour combination; isn't it just the perfect mix of Classic + Mod? Navy has always been one of my go-to colours and wardrobe staples; however, it's only recently caught my eye in wedding colour palettes. This SoCal wedding pairs navy with cream, burlap, and pops of lime, setting the tone for the perfect end-of-summer fiesta. The bridal party's bouquets are simply gorgeous and I really love the burlap + lace runner. (See more details, here).What is your favourite colour palette these days, wedding or otherwise? Do you find that you often return to the same combinations (in ...

leaves and lime...The Boy and I have discovered Sri Lankan food and with it I have rediscovered my love of cooking.

For now. Perha...

Inspiration: Aqua and LimeWho’s best placed to talk about wedding color trends for 2010? The wedding vendors who are already knee deep in outfitting the upcoming weddings of 2010, of course! Curious, I had a gander at My Personal Artist’s trend watch for the spring and summer of this year, and found both aqua blue and lime green on the list. My first thought was let’s put them together! Here’s the result: Paired with brown detailing and tiny rhinestones, aqua and lime wedding invitations can be beachy but don’t have to be.

I went for the “shortcut” route and modified a recipe that utilizes boxed cake mix as the foundation instead of doing everything from scratch (it was a holiday, after all!). Full recipes for the cupcakes & lime buttercream icing below… ***** INGREDIENTS Cupcakes: 1 box white cake m...
