I think most brides pick a something blue that's a light shade of blue but you're not bound to that part of the color spectrum.

I have a lot of favorite colors. I’m the girl who cannot pick just one. I have an even bigger obsession with color combos. This is why during my own planning process I struggled with colors, from Yellow and Gray, to Red, Orange and Gray.

Yet it has somewhat of an updated traditional feel to it. Are there any color combos that just make you swoon?... |

I made mention to it earlier this week but Navy is my color for 2012. I don’t know why but suddenly Navy is popping up all over my wardrobe and in my house. I just adore it. It’s not a shocker that this love has transcended into Navy Wedding Cakes. I searched and searched for my first Navy cake feature. And then I found this Navy Blue Bow Cake made by The Pink Cake Box, a baker we just love to feature here on AWCB. This cake has four tiers and is a round cake. The cake is chocolate ganache and covered in white buttercream. The Navy comes in the form of an adorable swi... |

After the 64 degree weather in Chicago this weekend, I think it’s safe to say spring is upon us! And what better way to celebrate spring than with a light, airy, and elegant color palette befitting the season? Pairing soft blue and dove gray with the palest of peach, this board is all about romantic details like flowing linens, fluffy flowers, ribbons and calligraphy.
