Heart Month - Red Red Red!

It's that time again, February is upon us and love is in the air. Some people think V-day is too commercialized and others wait all year long for Feb 14th. I always wonder how many people will actually get engaged on this day. I know the Holidays are a popular time for proposals, but is Valentine's Day? How about for weddings? If you were proposed to or decided to get married on V-day send me a note and some pictures of your special day. Below is an entry that focuses on the color R.E.D. and how you can incorporate it in your wedding day.

I'm not sure about every culture, but I know that back home (former Yugoslavia) people receive envelopes containing money as weddings gifts. I know this is true for the Italian culture as well as the Chinese, but I'm not sure about others. Let me know if it's also a tradition in yours!

Sites for Reference

Two sites I frequent to get ideas for wedding fashions and for everything and anything wedding related are www.marthastewartweddings.com and www.instyleweddings.com.

Martha is the quintessential queen of all things wedding. Signing up for her daily email with wedding ideas is a great way to get your creative juices going and apply some of those ideas to your own wedding. Not only that, you can find how to videos (for example: how to make your own bouquet) online.

While, on the other hand i frequent InStyle's website more for wedding dress and brides maid dress ideas and pictures from celebrity weddings. If they feature a dress by a particular designer I haven't heard of it leads me to find their official site and go through their entire dress collection. The more exposure, the more I am aware of what's out there and what i love.

Hair Accessories - FLOWERS

Flowers, FLOWERS, flowers

Using flowers as part of your hair style on your wedding day, or even your engagement photos is a great accessory. They give a whimsical, summery feel to your look as a whole. You can use your favorite flower, or play off the flowers in your boquet and centerpieces. Maybe you decide to include the flower that your fiancee first gave you, or presented you with when he propoesed. It really can hold sentimental value and give you a one of a kind look. Below you will find some of the examples I've come across that I absolutely loved! Enjoy :)
