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 .

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

 Drapes with crystals and pink, purple and magenta flowers.

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

Wedding Color Inspiration: Emerald Green

Lovely greetings to all Lots of Love Readers!

Settling on a wedding color can be tricky especially when you are not sure how you can put everything together. And so,  in the previous months, we've been featuring wedding colors to provide inspiration to brides to be and wedding planners and offer options to consider in their wedding preparations. 

For this article, we are giving you another popular wedding color option for fall - emerald green. 

Green is the color of nature, change and transformation. It is great both for indoor and outdoor weddings. Emerald green is a bright green color that makes a great contrast to the colors of autumn.

Here are some great emerald green wedding elements:

Floral Arrangements 
Use flowers in bloom to create gorgeous bouquets.

 Simple white and green bouquet for the bridesmaids

 Lovely floral crown for the flower girls. 

 Old fashioned flowers like hydrangeas are becoming a popular choice because of its gorgeous colors. 

Aim for simple and elegant - a lily of the valley bouquet

Keep it interesting by arranging flowers in vases with varying heights.

Here's something that always works: cymbidium orchids in tall glasses

Bring the outdoors indoor by decorating the aisle with greens all the way to the altar.

Tablescapes

Carry out the green theme into the reception with green table covers and accents.


Printed Details

Tag wedding favors with escort cards to usher guests to their seats.

Print your menu on green stationery.

Cocktail Hour

Wow your guests by serving drinks in your wedding color like this green cocktail drink with star fruit

Or something spiked like this concoction of vodka, Irish cream and martini.

Wedding Favors

Or you can pack some sweets in simple green boxes

Don't forget to also give tokens to your bridesmaids to show your heartfelt appreciation for all their help.
