Hello Kitty Wedding Ideas

Charming greetings to all our Lots of Love Readers!

Sometimes, when you are planning a special celebration like a wedding, you seek inspiration in things that have made a mark in your life. For some, it can be a movie or a trinket from your past. For others, it can be a memorabilia or a favorite childhood character like Hello Kitty. 

This adorable kitty has won the hearts of many. Hello Kitty is a fictional character produced by Sanrio,  Japan in 1975 and was brought to the United States a year after. Little girls love Hello Kitty and collect Hello Kitty merchandise from dolls, to stationery, mugs and all other stuff. Because of its fan base, the company created theme parks in Japan dedicated to everything Hello Kitty.

Last year there has been a controversy involving Hello Kitty saying that Hello Kitty is a lady and not a cat. It  caused great shock and horror to many netizens. But eventually, it panned out after some explanation made by its creators. Despite that, Hello Kitty lovers still remained loyal to the character that they have come to love through the years. 

Here are some Hello Kitty stuff that were featured in several Hello Kitty themed weddings:

As a tribute to your favorite fictional character, you can have a Hello Kitty bridal shower filled with everything cute and pink.

Decorate tables with loose petals arranged in Hello Kitty's signature pink bow. 

For the rehearsal dinner, you can decorate the tables with everything Hello Kitty, from place mats, place cards and napkins. 

The wedding will not be complete without a Hello Kitty themed cake. 

 

Instead of the usual multi-layer cake, you can decorate it with sugar cookies which you can share with everyone at the wedding reception. 

Serve pink cocktail drinks in mason jars decorated with Hello Kitty pink bows. 

Thank you gift for your bridesmaid and maid of honor - Hello Kitty earrings.

For the mother and mother-in-law, a special gift like a Hello Kitty tea set. 

You can give away these specially made picture frames as wedding favors for guests at your wedding.

 

 You can also fill tiny little boxes with your favorite goodies or keepsakes.

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.

All About Wedding Shoes

Warm greetings to all our Lots of Love Readers!

Every bride should have that perfect wedding shoes to go with her perfect wedding dress. Finding the right one could be overwhelming with all the options available in the market today. Irregardless of style or preference, there are several things that every bride should consider when buying wedding shoes: 

Never sacrifice comfort for style. You’ll have to remember that you will be on your feet for an extended period of time from the wedding ceremony down to the reception. It is important that you wear shoes that not only flatter your feet but should also be comfortable and fit you very well.  

Mind the dress. Consider the length of your wedding dress when buying your shoes. Make sure to bring it during your final fitting so your dressmaker can make the necessary adjustment to your hemline.

Perfect match. Your wedding shoes should complement your wedding dress and not be the ruin of it. If your dress is satin, then your shoes should be of high shine material to complement your dress. You may even have your own custom-made shoes in the exact same material as your dress. 

The Bold and Beautiful. Who says wedding shoes always have to come in white or neutral? These days, it could be anything from radiant red stilettos, leather boots, and sneakers usually worn under a long wedding dress hidden from plain sight but ever ready to be showcased any time, any how. 

Consider the time and place. Find the appropriate footwear suitable for the occasion. You can wear sandals for a beach wedding or boots for a winter wedding. 

Break it in. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Make it a point that you break your shoes in before the big day. 

“A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.” ~ Christian Louboutin

Lots of Love,
