In the Details: Fascinated by Fascinators

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a wonderful Holiday weekend. For me, I got caught up in all the various countdowns to the Royal Wedding. While I'll leave all the updates and chatter to the media, the one thing I will say I can't wait to see is of course the dress and also all the lovely hats and fascinators worn by guest.

I love the creative flair and over the top design to many of these fascinators and think you can add a bit of flair on your wedding day with something simple and sophisticated

But of course a fun and whimsical fascinator is also perfect for bridesmaids and guest.

While I do enjoy the over the top design of a fascinator and hats, if don't want to go over the top for your wedding there are plenty of fascinators that still have flair and are a bit more understated. If your looking to add a little whimsy to your attire or that of your bridesmaids or guest, start with a fun fascinator.

In The Details: Blush

>> Monday, April 18, 2011

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Last week I saw these beautiful Monique Lhuillier dresses

and fell in love with their beautiful blush tone. Inspired, I went searching for more lovely ways to incorporate a pretty blush color in to your wedding. Starting with pretty dresses for your bridesmaids

To accessories like this lovely floral inspired bolero and shoes

Of course you can icorporate this beautiful hue in all the other details of your wedding from the bouquet to the signature cocktail.

This pretty blush hue blends perfectly with so many other colors so if sticking to a single color isn't your thing think about incorporating pretty yellows, greens, pinks or peach. Hopefully these images can get you off to an inspiring start.
