So back in the world of “if I had unlimited weddings to throw”… here’s another color combo I think would be sweet, yet unexpected. Enter the field of the yellow & green wedding. :

BLACK & WHITE MAKES FOR QUITE THE SMART AFFAIR!

Ahhh, as I search through hoards of wedding and reception decor photos, I can’t help but wish I could have 4 or 5 weddings, just to explore all the different fantastic color choices! Back in the world of reality though, my choices are fixed, and they are not black & white. However I’ll leave you (hopefully) inspired with some of the exciting motifs I’d try to recreate were this our color choice. The possibilities are so tempting, I swear if I had a wedding to spare, it would be black & white all the way…

Does Audrey Hepburn not make you want to get married just so you can wear this impossibly cute black & white dress!!??

As we speak, I am trying to figure out WHAT to do w/this fantastically hot dress!

The bottom left white wedding dress w/black sash is so unforgiveably stunning, it makes me want to lose my mind & start all over w/the dress hunt again!!

...And what of the ENDLESSLY cute favors available for the black & white wedding theme? Courtesy of favorideas.com

Does it get much jazzier than this black & white wedding theme? Courtesy of Hostess.

Oh so elegant! These flowers + candles = sheer romance . Hostess.

Don’t even get me started w/the wedding cakes!!…

Wow.

Double wow.

I think this is sooo elegant too. Courtesy of The Knot

These bridesmaid dresses deserve a tribute all their own…

Are these NOT the cutest bridesmaid dresses you've ever seen? Courtesy of ItsaJaimething.com

So, even though black & white aren’t my favorite “real life” colors, something about the combination of these two gems for a wedding/party seems to transform the ordinary to the extraordinary! It was nice to have a whole different reception “in my imagination” with his funky duo. Does it out-class the other popular color combos?? What thinks ye? C

POMANDER PRETTIES…

earthcafelady — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 08:42:35 +0000

Okay, so a few weeks ago, I didn’t even know what the term “pomander” meant. Today, they’ve become embedded on my radar since, when you’re on a mission to plan a beautiful but BUDGET-friendly wedding, cute DIY options such as this can become an obsession, and a solution! If you’re like me & haven’t heard of pomanders before, or could use some DIY deco inspiration as well, consider yourself schooled:):

Thanks Martha Stewart Weddings via Engageology for this beautiful scene!

A Closer Look:

How pretty are these to line the aisle of a wedding, plus making them by hand adds a special, intimate touch...Thanks Vintage Glam Blog

Another color: (None of these is in our color scheme but I like the versatility & color choices available:

So elegant, thanks Wedding Bee!

A picture of them being made:

Vintage Glam shows the process of making them by hand...

These have a slightly different feel (more “sharp”, less flowery) but still visually interesting:

You can cut them to create interesting shapes, as described by Martha...

Martha Stewart’s idea for making miniature ones as napkin rings blows my bubble gum wrapper off!:

Oh how I L-O-V-E this DIY napkin ring! If only I could wave a magic wand...

Here’s a step by step guide found on Martha Stewart.com -I have no DIY experience so I hope I can pull it off!:

Wow, long link!! Anyway, I really really think our aisle will look beautiful lined in these in our wedding colors. I even wonder in what ways we might recycle these & use them at the reception? Hmmm, if you have ideas, please bless me!?! Hugs & DIY fun, C
