~Lounge Me Pretty~

All of us in the wedding industry AND on blogs know that Style Me Pretty is THE wedding inspiration blog.  They are simply just fabulous!

One wedding decor trend that I still LOVE is the lounge area.

And this one from Style Me Pretty is GORGEOUS! Love the furniture, the soft draping, I would love to be a guest here!

Last night I wrapped up a two day wedding weekend, it was a BLAST and we have 2 lounge areas to show you soon.  I had the pleasure working with Pia from Lin and Jirsa Photography, from Orange County.  His photos are AMAZING and I can't wait to show you the sneak peaks soon.

Speaking of lounge, that is exactly what I am going to do after 17 hours of wedding craziness/fun!

Blush Pink and Purple: so feminine and adorable!

So let's learn a little about the color pink

(via)

Pink is the color of universal love.

Pink is a quiet color.

Lovers of beauty favor pink.

Pink provides feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance.

 

Put some pink in your life when you want:

• calm feelings
• to neutralize disorder
• relaxation
• acceptance, contentment

Psst . . . this week I am meeting with 3 local photographers . . . more information soon!

~Ombre Wedding Inspiration in Pink~

Ombre

"n. A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp."

Of course I had to choose pink . . . one of my favorite colors and so classy and feminine for a wedding.

You see a lot of this color on my blog!

As I've been browsing the blog scene lately I've come across some gorgeous monochromatic, or "ombre"  photos . . . here are a few:

(both photos via Martha Stewart)

(Floral table decor via Martha Stewart)

(Via The Party Dress)

(Via Weddings by Lilly)

Simply beautiful, feminine and elegant.

I can't wait to use this color scheme for one of my bride's someday!

Happy Monday to you all!
