Winter weddings are so magical, especially around Christmas time! With all the twinkling lights, snowfall, and evergreen decor, it is such a beautiful time of year. Nina and Josh picked a beautiful day to celebrate! Nina looked breathtaking in her lace dress paired with the <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.somethingborrowedbride.com/veil.php?productID=29" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">Miss Bliss</a></span> veil. And you can tell her new hubby gave the approval too as he is all smiles in the pictures above! I love how "in love" these two look! Congrats on your wedding and to many years of love, happiness and laughter!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6247013329266273324.post-78498596791076198162013-10-12T05:05:00.001-05:002013-10-22T22:03:45.516-05:00{Inspiration Board} Navy, Yellow, & Grey<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While this nautical color combo is typically used for summer and spring, it surprisingly can work for any season, including fall. The navy sits nicely with the warm tones of autumn, the yellow acts as the accent color, and the grey is a beautiful neutral to throw into the mix. See for yourself! </div>

It's no secret that with autumn comes all things warm and sweet - hence why the Pumpkin Spice Latte, seasonal treat, is the current best seller at all major and local coffee shops. I apologize if I've just inspired a coffee craving, but first, I encourage you to take a peak at a wedding theme inspired by this autumn special before you run out and pick up your own.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Pumpkin Spice Latte, what comes to mind when you hear this? Warmth, homeyness, and the colors of the changing leaves? Exactly! Here is a theme that captures all of this loveliness and then some. So grab your honey, share some heaven in a cup, and plan out your fall wedding together. </div>

Planning a wedding is tricky, and more often than not, one of the last elements put together is the music selection. But why is that? Music is one of the most unifying elements of the day - it takes the couple, venue, decorations, guests, food, and the romantically magical moments and ties them all together into one experience. Now for some couples, it's a no-brainer to go with the traditional bridal chorus as the wedding party approaches the alter. Others, may opt for a more personalized experience.<br />

"Autumn", what comes to mind when you see this word? Pumpkins, apple orchards, hot chocolate, brisk nights, warm colors and leaves crunching beneath your feet? I most definitely agree. It's such a magical time of the year, it's no wonder couples find planning a fall wedding so appealing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inspiration is literally all around you! Nature hands you an amazing color palette, and there are so many new textures to work with as well. So, as you can imagine, decorating will be quite free flowing from the get go. But what about a venue? </div>

If you and your honey are totally in love with all things autumn, and this is truly your favorite time of the year, why not bring your friends and family together in one of the most autumnal venues ever? An apple orchard! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apple orchards are quickly becoming some of the most sought out venues for hosting weddings during the fall. It's almost a no-brainer. Not only in terms of visual appeal, but emotional as well. Maybe there's a certain apple orchard that comes to mind right away, whether it was the site of an amazing date, or a cherished family tradition. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, not only are they beautiful and fit the autumn theme, but they can be one of the most intimate venues.</div>

When it comes to finding the right orchard, it might come off as a daunting task. Especially if you're located in the Midwest, it seems as though there are new apple orchards and pumpkin patches popping up now more than ever. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So how do we choose one? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each state usually has their own directory of orchards. In Minnesota, we actually have a few --- <a href="http://www3.mda.state.mn.us/mngrown/searchresults.aspx?location=&products=7" target="_blank">The Minnesota Department of Agriculture</a> and <a href="http://www.exploreminnesota.com/things-to-do/outdoors-nature/gardens-orchards-farms/index.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=things-to-do&gclid=COCQiJHA0LkCFchaMgodxjAAFg" target="_blank">Explore Minnesota</a> are a couple directory options. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quite a few orchards actually promote weddings on their own websites. Browse through and get inspired!</div>

Whether you plan on inviting 3,500 guests and rocking a 25 foot train or not, you can still plan a wedding royalty worthy. A wedding such as Prince Charles & Princess Diana's was achieved by combining both over-the-top elements and classic fairy tale elegance.

<br />
As far as décor and food, balloon inspired details are a must! Use them as cake toppers or create a simple back drop for the ceremony. An exciting way to add color is fabric or scrap bunting. Not only can you customize them yourself but it will save you a lot of money too. Vintage suitcases and mailboxes are a great way to hold wedding cards and small gifts. Last but not least, do not forget the fruit sodas! They will entertain your guests throughout the reception.

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The "Phantom of the Opera" is a classic <span style="font-size: small;">story of love</span>, lust, and
tragedy. In 2006 it was brought to life on the <span style="font-size: small;">big screen and managed to
capture the hearts and imagination of many. For couples seeking a
unique, dramatic theme for their wedding, a Phantom inspired production
is an idea not to be overlooked - especially if you both loved the play,
and/or film. The movie itself offers thousands of ideas you can
incorporate to create that old theatre-esque look. Here are some photos
showcasing how flexible this theme can be for<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>your special day. </span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #211922; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 14.84375px;">When it comes to planning a East Coast, beachy, nautical themed wedding - I found a great deal of inspiration from the latest Nicholas Sparks movie, Safe Haven. The entire setting is absolutely gorgeous, and there is definitely a natural essence of love radiating from those ocean waves and blue skies alone. Whether you live along the Atlantic or not - you can recreate this feeling anywhere. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

When it comes to my explanations, I will try my best not to use too many spoilers. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few words might come to mind when you think of the classic novel turned movie, The Great Gatsby. Glamour, romance, sophistication - the 1920's provides plenty of elements you can incorporate into your wedding to generate a very similar feeling. If you are a vintage-glam loving bride, this look is absolutely perfect for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here we go! There are a few key elements to pulling off this look - let me talk you through a few of them, as well as provide you with some samples. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For starters, nothing says GATSBY like some <i>diamonds</i> and <i>pearls</i> (Really, all things that sparkle will do): </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjagH9dQJxWGUeo9AFTS2UltPNwoSR4afb42U5G305G9fmGCcP490P5S0eWCZpRcjLNpSFVFOXprTk-lRdBbFFrbbsZUjjWCe9vOrqzhMDDgZfTlb0bgwYyy0cUdm3JLqYC_V66HuYivWvs/s1600/TGG_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjagH9dQJxWGUeo9AFTS2UltPNwoSR4afb42U5G305G9fmGCcP490P5S0eWCZpRcjLNpSFVFOXprTk-lRdBbFFrbbsZUjjWCe9vOrqzhMDDgZfTlb0bgwYyy0cUdm3JLqYC_V66HuYivWvs/s640/TGG_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
Next,<i> LACE, </i>and <i>feathers </i>are a must:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lastly, a marriage of silver AND gold details:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So there you have it! Some of the key elements of the Great Gatsby look - for further searching I found it helpful to use phrases such as "art deco wedding", "1920s inspired wedding" and "vintage glam wedding" - sometimes even "classic Hollywood wedding". </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When searching for items - crystals, ostrich feathers, gold, silver, pearls, diamonds, deco, metallic, and vintage were great key terms to include. Extra emphasis on the ostrich feathers and diamonds. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Great Gatsby look: G<span style="text-align: justify;">lamour. Romance. Sophistication.</span></div>

The wedding themes we see today have been more eclectic than ever, combining multiple elements from a variety of different themes into one great big idea. You may be one of the few people who may not know where to start, so here’s a suggestion.
<br /><Br>
Why not start with lace details? It adds the perfect touch of elegance to a wedding without overwhelming more antique or rustic elements. Lace will become one of your best friends this year when trying to re-create a shabby chic wedding of your own. It’s a popular trend in fashion, interior and design this year so take advantage of it!

Vintage inspired weddings were a hot crowd-pleaser in 2012, so it is no surprise that this spring it will be making a strong return - with a unique twist. We saw a lot of modest color palettes, DIY projects, lace, and personalized trinkets last year - while these are still very much sought after, you can expect much more razzle dazzle and sparkle accents to accompany this look in 2013. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a revamped version of the Great Gatsby classic hitting theaters early May - we are seeing this love for 1920's glamour impacting bridal trends now, more than ever. So, a little sparkle here and there mixed with some shabby chic elements is ideal when planning around this theme. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is a very brief snapshot of what a marriage between these two very different styles would look like: Slinky lace/silk embellished gowns, fluttered sleeves, crystal and pearl headpieces/necklaces/bracelets, pleated bridesmaid dresses, ribbons, black ties, over the top cakes, slightly tarnished silver decorations, patterned prints, jeweled floral bouquets, chandeliers, lockets, plated dinners, and artisanal cocktails. </div>

Selecting colors for your wedding may seem like a daunting task at first, but once you open yourself up to it, inspiration can be found all around you. With spring right around the corner, this time of the year provides plenty of room for creativity throughout all of your wedding planning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For starters, look at the colors - pastels are soft and sweet and are easy to build off of. How about flowers? If you absolutely love them you're in luck. Spring is all about growth, therefore showcasing bright and cheerful floral arrangements is a great way to share what this season is all about. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are countless examples online for spring weddings. However, I promise you will find it much more rewarding, more personal and ultimately more romantic if you sit down and take the time to reflect on what spring means to you both as a couple and then start piecing together the perfect look to fit your love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Try this! Start by selecting your favorite spring color - pastels are great building blocks. Blues, pinks, purples, yellows, greens, etc - any color but in a more subtle tone will work for this theme. Choose a base color, and go from there. </div>
