Trend Tip Tuesday: Lime Green

I am in the process of decorating our dream home. I have worked room-by-room to ensure I don't rush the decorating process but really enjoy myself. My formal living and dining room and done in grey and blues and I have decided my pop color will be lime green. Once I decided on this color I see it everywhere.

It got me thinking about you spring brides and how you could incorporate this hip color into your wedding. Green can be dressed up with crystals for a glamorous, glitzy feel or dressed down with ceramic vases and lace for a more vintage feel. Just as I have in my home, use the color sparingly and it is sure to grab your guests' eye;

I hope this trend tip has inspired you! Until Next Time...Happy Planning

Trend Tip Tuesday

Looking for a hot 2010 trend? Then think about wearing a flower in your hair! Here are some tips to ensure that your wedding day ‘do is picture perfect:

1. Tear photos of hairstyles with flowers that you like out of magazines and print out images you find online to show your hairstylist what you want.

2.  Schedule a trial to see if the style you want looks right and make sure to use the same flower that you plan on using at your wedding.



3. Don’t forget to take photos of the final ‘do you decide on so the day of the wedding there is no question as to what your hairstylist should be doing. Remember to get photos from every angle: right, left, front and back

4. Determine if you are going to use a real flower or a silk flower and who is supplying it: You, your stylist or the florist.

5. If you are choosing a delicate flower, like a gardenia, ask your stylist to stick around to replace it after family portraits and the ceremony so you have a fresh bloom in your hair for the reception.



6. Don't just buy one bloom for your wedding day. Buy or order several just to be safe.

If you don't think real flowers are for you try silk flowers. I have found some really nice ones on etsy.com
