The Spring 2013 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, on stands now, features a color pairing that can warm up a room or cool it down; be bright and modern, or vintage and romantic. The pretty combination of cornflower blue and melon looks beautiful in flowers, on flavors, and everything in between! I simply ADORE this color combination and I wanted to share a few of my favorite images from the Spring issue with you today.
Lovely inspiration from table settings and food, to invitations and flowers, and even a gown for the rare bride who dares to wear a non-white dress, these colors offer endless versatility for a creative palette. Beyond weddings, these colors are perfect to inspire any warm-weather celebration! Let's check out all the prettiness and I hope you all have your issue of MSW....as always, it's filled with tons of beautiful inspiration for your big day...Enjoy!!

Hi Guys and Happy Friday....let's take today and enjoy a few of the cafe's favorite inspiration boards from our beautiful friend Alisha of Weddings of Whimsy....thanks for all of the lovely inspiration Alisha!......Enjoy!!
I have some gorgeous color-palette eye candy for you all today! I am inspired by the refreshing hue of mint. It's kind of the more green version of sky blue... and it's amazingly versatile! I had about five different color combinations in my mind that worked well with mint, but as soon as I saw it next to my favorite hue of pink- the decision was made. Blush is exactly what the name says it is. Its three parts au-natural and two parts happiness. The perfect compliment to cool mint. The best thing about this combo is that I can picture it in a romantic, outdoor wedding just as much as I can see it in an indoor museum venue against stark-white walls. It is the perfect combination for those wishing to create an ethereal look to their wedding while still adding color. So sit back and soak in this refreshing color palette and be inspired! ~ A

Good Morning Everyone & Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all enjoying your first week of fall, celebrating with Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and breaking out your coziest sweaters! I have a pretty palette of color inspiration for you today, one that I think is just right to ease us into warmer autumn shades. I adore fall weddings, and I have quite a few that I will be [very happily] attending in the next few weeks. Though I love fall color schemes that showcase deeper colors, I am not fully ready to surrender my favorite lighter hues... which brings me to this elegant & playful, slightly french-inspried color scheme!
I love the way this pinkish-purplish mauve mingles with the warm-but-soft apricot hues. And I love how this golden brown toffee shade pulls it all together in a perfect "let's get married in October" way! Let me know what you all think of it! As always, thanks a ton for reading!

I was inspired earlier this week by an article in Martha Stewart Living about jadite, old fashioned green glassware that really puts a pop in your decor. The shades of jadite paired next to any light shade of blue reminded me of seaglass... which brings me to this post! Calming blues and clear, glassy green... what could be a more lovely pair for a spring or summer wedding color palette? One of my favorite things about these seaglass shades are that you don't have to go crazy trying to match everything perfectly. As long as you stay within the same soft tones (no neon lime greens, please.) you will acheive this fresh, serene look.

Happy Wednesday Lovelies and say hello to Katrina & Keinon...get ready ready for some serious "eye candy"....their wedding story is simply beautiful.....filled with style and lots of fun and pretty details.....capturing all the special moments of their day are two of my favorite ladies, Courtney and Zahra of Project Duo! I ADORE Courtney and Zahra.....their work is always "magazine worthy" and I love it when they stop by the cafe to share it with us!
One of the many details that I loved about Katrina & Keinon's wedding story is that after their ceremony, they had an intimate dinner that they shared with their families...after the dinner, they threw a "par-ception" - party + reception and this is where all their friends came and by looking at the images, I can tell it was a serious party! Helping Katrina & Keinon plan their beautiful day is the lovely and talented, Michelle Gainey, of Lemiga Events...Michelle is AMAZING!.....let's check it all out and I'm so happy to share that their wedding is also featured at Essence Online Bridal Bliss....Enjoy!!
