Chocolate Brown

Chocolate Brown has become the new neutral, especially for weddings. However, unlike most neutrals, chocolate brown is warm and inviting. And the good thing about chocolate brown is that depending on what color your pair it with, it can be used for spring, summer or fall weddings. Here it is paired with pink, which happens to be one of my favorite colors... Source: Favoridea

God's Knot

Have you ever heard of God's Knot? Well...I have to admit I had not until my former clients chose to have a God's Knot ceremony in their wedding last month rather than lighting of the Unity Candle. Being the inquisitive person that I am, I googled "God's Knot" to find out more about it. The ceremony consists of the bride and groom braiding the three strands. In doing so, the couple demonstrates they have chosen to allow God to be the center of their marriage and they (God, the bride and the groom) are woven together as one.

The Gold Strand - represents God at the center of the marriage

The Purple Strand - represents the Groom

The White Strand - represents the Bride

Bling, Bling

What woman doesn't like bling! Afterall, diamonds are a girl's bestfriend. One of the hottest wedding trends for 2009 is to have a blinged out wedding. Bling is not just for jewelry any longer. Brides are using bling on invitations, cakes, dresses, bouquets, shoes, decorations, you name it. Of course you don't have to use diamonds to have a blinged out wedding - crystals will do just fine. However, please don't forget style and good taste must prevail and everything in moderation. Check out some of the things brides are using bling for. This bouquet is a bit much for me, but some brides may like it.
