I never really liked the color pink growing up. It came across as very girly and growing up with 3 boys there was no room for girly! Black has always seemed very classic and chic to me and a total staple in my wardrobe.
A couple years ago I did a reception for my friend Julie. Her colors were pink, white, and black. Her arrangement was adorable down to the Good&Plenty she had me spread around on the white linens. Now pink is one of those colors that I like. Can't say I love it, but there are a lot of shades and tones of pink that if done right can look very elegant or playful.
This color board was fun to do since it isn't super girly. I like the modern look of the flowers, playfulness of the cake, and the small touches with the candy.
Also using a basic black dress with a ribbon in pink is great because your girls can wear that dress again by just taking off the ribbon. I love being able to pick versatile things for weddings. In reality it is one day out of your life and make it memorable, but also try to make items repeatable!
I love flowers! They are so pretty and so much can be done with them. These 3 fall in my top picks for spring weddings. Each one has a great look!
For the traditional wedding:
This arrangement was done by Creative Concepts & Designs in Texas. I like the simplicity of the arrangement for a traditional wedding. Very clean cut and beautiful.
Higher end/ Fancy Wedding:
This arrangement was done by Boston Blooms. With the richer tones and a Cala Lillies this just speaks of romance and sophisication!
Backyard/Garden Weddings:
This arragement was shown on Good Housekeeping by using aromatic bells of Ireland in empty olive oil bottles. Great for outdoor weddings and weddings on a budget.

People are always asking me about odd things my brides request and how hard is it really to find them! Most of the time I can find what they are looking for and to me they really aren't that odd. The most recent thing I have heard a request for is a photo booth. I instantly thought that would be so freaking expensive and would take up too much of the budget. But I found this company that rents them for $1550 and you get it for 4 hours with black and whitepics! You can do color and they have more add ons, but that was the base price.
How fun to have a way for your guests to remember your night and for you to have some of your own candid pics!
