The Sun Will Come Out...

It's rehearsal day for Vasiliki and Steven! These two are just the cutest couple!

For the past few weeks we have been going back & forth about needing a tent in case it was going to rain but the sky has cleared and we are expecting one of the warmest days of the year this weekend! This BIG Greek wedding is going to be amazing!

Tonight I'm meeting with 3 new clients and have a design proposal in the works for my February "rustic winter wedding' couple!

New Ideas for Something Blue (that don't involve garters)

You may be the most modern bride on the planet, but when it comes to “Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue,” most brides like to keep the tradition/superstition. According to lore, each item represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy.

Blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. Brides in ancient Rome wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity is link to the color. Blue was a popular color for wedding gowns before the 19th Century, as evidenced in proverbs like, “Marry in blue, lover be true.”

 

We found lots of ideas for working blue into your wedding look. Some are obvious, such as shoes and earrings, others not as much, like blue toenails.

Blue fingernails may be a bit much, especially for a traditional wedding, but bluetoenails are subtle and will transition well to your honeymoon.

Wrap a blue, or blue-embroidered, handkerchief around your bouquet. Bonus points for sentimental value, such as if it belonged to your mom or grandmother
