Spunky Inspiration

I am heading southbound on a mini-vacation this weekend. It will be full of quality time with my family at the beach. I wanted to leave some frisky inspiration before I head out! The summer colors in this bouquet are vibrant and happy. The mixture of spunky pink, dark chocolate, orange surbert, and sourpatch lime are sure to get compliments at any wedding.

Color Palette: Eggplant

Purple has always made me happy! We all know that a little purple goes a long way - but not when it is done right. This beautiful eggplant bridesmade dress is simple and elegant and the flower combos are endless.

Me Lucky Charms

So, it is time for the awkward bouquet toss. All the 'single' ladies get a stab at a chance to tackle one another to see who is next to be married. Who needs boys anyway? :) The alternative idea of having a break-away bouquet for the toss is appetizing. Each maid will receive a piece with a 'lucky charm' attached for good luck. Everyone gets to share the experience and has a charm to take away with them! Talk to your florist about the options of a break-away bouquet. The charms or fortunes can be whatever tickles your fancy. I was intrigued by the below yantras just because it is unique. However, if you feel the need to attach a four-leaf clover or horseshoe, be my guest. *note* A yantra is meditational device used in Hindu and Tibetan Tantric meditation. From the root "yam," meaning "to sustain," the Yantra is a symbolic image used to maintain a focused state during meditation. A yantra is usually composed of an outer geometrical form enclosing an interior geometrical designs. Each particular design is used for a specific purpose or intent. Check out the beauties:

Light Sage & Brown Palette

Light sage is on of my personal favorite wedding colors. It is outdoorsy enough but still elegant. Willow branches with hanging candles really set the mood for this feel. Let nature be your guide!
