Wedding Color Inspiration: Rich Magenta

Colorful greetings to all Lots of Love Readers!

Fall weddings are popular because of the cool weather and the wonderful colors of autumn. A great color choice for a fall wedding color is magenta. This light purplish red color is popular because of its vibrant and full color quality. Magenta is lovely on its own. It also works very well with green, silver and different shades of pinks and violets.

Here's a collection of awesome wedding details in magenta:

 

Get your guests excited when they receive news about your upcoming wedding.

Pick a tie in shades of your wedding color. 

Askthe guys to wear magenta socks for added fun.

Show off your magenta shoes . 

Wedding bouquet of purple and magenta dahlias, roses, orchids accentuated with silver beads

Flowers from the same family of colors as magenta bunched together with some greens. 

 Drapes with crystals and pink, purple and magenta flowers. 

A floral arch bursting with colors. 

Instead of rolling the red carpet, fill the aisle with floral petals. 

Instead of an elaborate floral arrangement, line the aisle with pink parasols.

Treat guests with some cocktail drinks and aperitifs on these cocktail tables dressed to impress. 

Tuck a rose on table napkins for a sweet feminine touch.

One magical evening enjoyed with family and friends with hanging flowers and suspended votive candles on bubble glasses. 

Enhance the over-all mood of the wedding reception with colored lights and some floor treatment. 

 Guests will surely enjoy a shot of chilled raspberry soup

Surprise guests with a bottle of champagne with rose ice cubes. 

Opt for a wedding cake iced with rose flowers

Or perhaps something ruffled like this dainty ombre cake.

Or a stunning bejeweled cake

Gift suggestion for the mothers of the bride and groom - fans and pashmina in rich magenta 

 

Give away heart-shaped soaps to show your many thanks for guests who came to celebrate your wedding with you.

2014 Wedding Trends: Colored Wedding Gowns

Hello Lots of Love Readers and Happy Friday!

We understand that it's every bride's dream to look her best on her wedding day. We also understand that it starts with the perfect wedding dress.

One of the things to look forward to in 2014 are colored wedding gowns! While white gowns will still dominate the wedding scene, more women will be open to wearing gowns with faint shades of peach, nude, pink, champagne and blush, among many others. Inspiration can be drawn from famous celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Biel who chose to walk down the aisle pretty in pink.

Here are some gorgeous colored wedding gowns:

Champagne 

Pink Blush 

Cream

Pink

Pale Blue

Yellow

Nude

Let's remember that the perfect accessory to a perfect wedding gown is that smile on a bride's face.

Kelly + James = Soft and Classic

Hello Lots of Love readers!

Today we are sharing a beautiful wedding we had the honor of working on for a classic beauty, Kelly, and her handsome husband, James. This wedding was so soft and classic. We absolutely loved it.

Here they are, looking amazing:

Their wedding day started in a way we here at Especially For You are not accustomed to: quiet (We are used to large bridal parties and the commotion that comes with it). You know what? We enjoyed it!

Kelly got her hair and makeup done and came to the amazing Malibou Lake Mountain Club to get dressed, only joined by her mother and grandmother. It was so special seeing these three ladies spend this important time together.  

Now, time for the ceremony. It was not overly done. It was the wedding ceremony of two people who promised to love each other forever, witnessed by only close friends and family.

It was a beautiful ceremony.

Now, we are ready to let guests into reception to let loose and celebrate the wedding!

 

 

 

It was such a fun night.

Here are some of the details from Kelly and James' Big Day:

{special reserved signs} 



{perfect escort cards}

{special signage for Notes + Wishes and Gifts}

{Beautiful floral and candle cocktail table centerpieces}

{the perfect wedding cake}

{soft and textured centerpieces with crystal table numbers, complete with love quotes}

{simply beautiful silver and pink ribbon-tied favors}



{cozy fireplace with a candle-lit mantel, a white grand piano, and high ceilings}

{a sun-lit window backdrop for the sweetheart and cake tables}

{Mr. + Mrs. chair signs} 

{gorgeous family band...from 1924!}

 {paper striped straws with personalized flags for the bar}

{personalized metallic font napkins for the bar too!}

{the perfect sweetheart table}

We wish our quietest couple ever, Kelly and James, a sweet life as husband and wife. And hey, maybe a LOUD baby (wink, wink).

Lots of Love,

Susan
