I was asked most recently if I could coordinate or create a romantic Halloween themed wedding. So WOW when I think of Halloween I think of orange and black, costumes and candy. Now I am challenged to see how I can make all of that romantic. I asked myself does it have to be orange and black. What about other colors like purple and black or a deep red and black? Then I began thinking hmmm......the sky is the limit. Take a look at some of the awesome things I found.

Love this idea for the guest book and escort card table. The pumpkins are a great touch.

Bouquets that aren't so spooky but classic.

Then I found a few fun and whimsical ideas that don't use the Halloween colors at all. How about gray and yellow with candelabras and white pumpkins. Don't believe me take a look!

Winter White Weddings

With all the snow falling outside what better topic to talk about than a winter themed wedding. There are lots of ideas out there from iced covered centerpieces and hot chocolate bars to snowball cocktail drinks and romantic capes. Having a winter wonderland wedding begins with a single snowflake.

I guess I'll finish enjoying this snowscape outside my window and drinking my hot chocolate!
