Thanksgiving weddings!

For Thanksgiving, I'm just glad to be healthy! A Thanksgiving wedding is definitely a unique opportunity to highlight what you are grateful for.

For inspiration, think of a color palette in ivory, burnt orange, and brown. Consider adding touches of brilliant gold, too. And for my own take for this event:

Wedding cake with painted leaves
Bridal gown from Amsale - love the look of this gown with the gloves
An orange and yellow wedding bouquet
Cookie favors for guests from Eleni's

Invitations for a Valentine's Day Wedding

Valentine's Day is coming up as we all know. My favorite time of the day because it reminds of those days when kids used to have Valentine's parties at school and we'd all exchange cards. It was so much fun. Now that we are all grown up, who is to say that you can't have your wedding on Valentine's? After all, it is the most romantic time of the year. And this year, it falls on a Sunday! Start your event right with these lovely invitations I found:

From artfire.com - so cute.




From creationsbyleslie.com - where the card has a whimsical touch to it.




From moderngirlinvitations.com - this one is just pure chic and modern with a simple heart design.

Plaid Weddings Are Here to Stay

I could not be more in love with plaid or more popularly known by Scots as tartan. Back in school, I actually had a plaid skirt as my uniform! Perhaps I should have kept the skirt now that it seems to be back in fashion. And for a wedding in tartan, this could be a very colorful and texturally interesting display. Consider a dress trimmed in red plaid all the way to a matching invitation that carries on the theme beautifully! A palette to accompany this is needed:

Pretty Wedding Dress from TartanSpirit.com - This is my favorite so far!


Wedding Invitations from Myexpression.com - Luv it, gorgeous baby!


Flower Girl Dress from Macy's - So cute - it could steal the show. Perfect!


Chocolate Cup Wedding Cake from Sweetart in the UK - This is a cool alternative to a traditional cake! Inspirational!


And let's not forget the Kilt from IrishImports.com


Be pretty in plaid!

A Gothic Halloween Wedding
