Wedding Color Inspiration: Strawberry Ice



Colorful greetings to all our Lots of Love Readers!

We've heard of the phrase "Pretty in Pink" and seen how this color brings a flattering and healthy glow to someone who is in love. For 2015, Pantone chose to include Strawberry Ice as one of its ideal shades for Spring and Summer. This shade of pink brings about a subtle charm that is refreshing to the eyes and adds a warm glow to any wedding. Strawberry Ice can be paired with toasted almond if you are opting for a shabby chic/ country themed wedding. If you are opting for something more lively and festive, you can pair it up with tangerine. It also works well on its own or blended with other shades of pink. 

Here are some great strawberry ice ideas for a wedding:

Cinderella Wedding



Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

Every girl who has watched the 1950s Walt Disney Film Cinderella would be very much familiar with the lyrics of the song "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and has spent countless nights daydreaming about finding true love and living a life happily ever after. We're very happy that Disney decided to breath new life to the animated feature with its 2015 release.

Cinderella is one of the many Disney princesses that we have come to love. She's a sweet and gentle soul that has been dealt with badly in life. However, her life's circumstances has not stopped her from being optimistic and hopeful that someday, she will live to experience the fulfillment of her dreams. And true enough, with some help from her fairy god mother and her furry and feathery friends, she found true love and her happy ever after.

With a love story as such, it should come as no surprise for brides to be inspired by Cinderella's story and wish for a Cinderella-Themed Wedding.

Here's a collection of wedding details inspired by the fairy tale movie that that has been part of every little girl's childhood:

 For an outdoor wedding ceremony, create an elegant arch of white flowers hanging on twigs and branches and line the aisle with floral bouquets and ribbons.

 

For an indoor wedding ceremony, decorate the aisles with bundled twigs and ribbons to recreate a white wedding in the woods.

A wedding reception  will not be complete without a splendid wedding cake fit for a Royal Wedding adorned with the proverbial glass slippers, castle cake topper and charmed crystals.

Or you can opt for something a little less sensational but equally appealing like this simple blue cake adorned with Cinderella's helpful feathery friends.

Thank guests for coming to your wedding by giving them castle design tea light candle holders.

Lots of Love,

Wedding Color Inspiration: Custard


Happy Greetings to all our Lots of Love Readers!

Planning for a wedding is an exciting task because it gives us a chance to actualize our dream wedding ideas. For some it comes spontaneously while for others, it could be a source of a lot of stress. You can actually find a lot of great wedding concepts out there. The key is taking stock of things which you think will work for you and see how you can put them all together. 

Sometimes, inspiration for a wedding could come from something that is important to you like the first piece of jewelry that your fiance gave you. For this article, we feature another Pantone Spring/Summer Wedding color palette - Custard. 

Just like other Pantone color choices for the year, custard exudes a subtle warm tone that follows a minimalistic en plein air theme inherent in nature. This delectable shade of yellow radiates a sweet and cheerful aura that is both relaxed and comforting. Custard is affable on its own but it also works very well when combined with other colors like glacier gray and aquamarine

Here's a great collection of wedding details in Custard:
