Vivid yellow is scarce. There’s the bright sun and fields of sunflowers in nature, but to see yellow elsewhere is a rarity.

Yellow is an attention-getter. It’s a color of optimism, too, and is seen as enhancing concentration. To integrate this lively color into your wedding color palette is an easy way to ensure a bright, bold punch of cheery color. Think bows on your toes, or an attention-grabber on your gown (as is so beautifully demonstrated below – WOW). Spring for sugar paste flowers in a sea of white buttercream frosting, or go bountiful with yellow bouquets and overflowering centerpieces.

Have fun! Don’t be afraid of this vibrant color! Mixed with color it can pack some major punch. Paired with a light gray it can offer a fabulous contract. But a word of caution: use bright yellow sparingly, as it can be overpowering. Remember, too: Beauty is in the details.

Love,                                                                                         Raya & Erin

The Red Carpet was shimmering Sunday night, as we saw millions upon millions of dollars worth of jewelry on the pretty necks, ears and wrists of the stars that attended the Emmy Awards. We saw gobs of show-stopping pieces, like Heidi Klum’s Lorraine Schwartz ruby and diamond necklace and Eva Longoria-Parker’s punch-of-color chandelier earrings by Loren Jewels. Too, we saw a handful of stars wearing bracelets on both wrists; an upcoming trend, perhaps?

The images below are proof that one standout piece can be the key to completing an entire look. In bridal fashion this is no different. Take inspiration from the images below and, if you’re getting married, use them to inspire your bridal jewelry look.

Who wore your favorite jewels?

XOXO,                                                                                         Erin

As usual, it was all glitz and glam at the 62nd Annual Emmy Awards. Last night we saw an array of gorgeous wedding-worthy gowns: Stunning Kim Kardashian in a white Marchesa Grecian gown, a flawless Claire Danes in a Giorgio Armani Privé Swarovski-encrusted dress, and sweet Jewel in a pretty blush Zuhair Murad gown. Let the photos below do the talking.

See my favorite picks below, too.

Who was on your best-dressed list? In our next post, be on the lookout for our favorite accessories from last night’s event.

Ombre for years has quietly been on the wedding trend radar. Occasionally we see it pop up on a flamboyant wedding gown, on the pointed toe of a heel or in a bouquet or floral centerpiece.

om·bré (äm′brā′, äm brā′): shaded or graduated in tone: said of a color (source).

Because a cake often has several tiers, it is quite possibly the most ideal detail of your wedding in which to organically incorporate the ombre style. The photos we’ve hunted down below are proof that incorporating ombre into your wedding may be easy, with the result being prettier than you would imagine; the descending richness of color is quite pleasing to the eye. Don’t you think?

Love,                                                                                         Raya & Erin

Vintage postcards are a delightful way in which to infuse a wedding’s style with historic charm.

And more and more, we’re seeing vintage postcards being used for more than just the standard save-the-dates. Postcards are being included on place settings, displayed on escort card tables, and are even being staged as a guestbook alternative.

The options are endless, so have some fun and get creative! The image immediately below, for example, showcases a vintage postcard that was transformed into a place card with a simple tie of a rope and a name tag. Also, a typewriter can be used to transform old postcards into something new and too, to personalize the details of the occasion even further.

Vintage postcards aren’t a trend; they’re a wedding stationery option that is here to stay.

Love,                                                                                                  Erin & Raya

Once upon a time bridesmaid dresses close to white in color were considered a no-no, as to outshine the bride was avoided at all costs. Due to this we’ve seen bridesmaid dresses of all shades accompany white and ivory wedding gowns. News flash: these days the bride is giving her bridesmaids more and more room to shine. This trend is making way for timeless appeal, and colorless elegance.

A light-colored bridesmaid dress lends for a classic, no-fuss wedding appeal.

It’s chic.

It’s crisp.

It’s clean.

Here’s proof:

So much room, too, is left for bursts of color elsewhere for the bridesmaids; a black satin sash, fuchsia heels, or a pop of emerald jewelry earrings. So if you’re having a tough time deciding on the color of your bridesmaids’ dresses, think: champagne, ivory, cream, bone, and even (gasp!) white.

Love,                                                                                            Raya & Erin

Macarons have Italian origins, but are now a Parisian specialty. A macaron is a dessert fan’s delight. When consumed, you bite through a thin shell to meet a soft and moist interior, giving way to a filling that caps off the textural experience.

Why choose these delectable treats? Because of their versatility. They come in a plethora of flavors, from traditional chocolate to mint basil or mocha. They come in every color under the rainbow’s pastel equivalent, sure to satisfy any bridal color scheme. Too, they’re clean, attractive, and stackable for the ultimate display and photo opportunity. Whether served as dessert, used as a midnight snack, or stacked high en lieu of a wedding cake, macarons will be a surefire sweet success for your wedding.

No matter your personality, no matter the overall time commitment, each bride can benefit from keeping all her ducks in a row. So this is our Sunday wisdom for you: be organized.

Checklists: Whether with planner or without, checklists will not only give you an idea of what needs to be done, and when, but will help you see on paper your progress. The Internet is chalk full of pre-made lists, or make a list that is more personalized to your wedding and needs.

3-Ring Binder: Have a binder handy for all of your clippings, contracts, inspiration, etc. Keep all wedding-related information in one place. Further organize with dividers, pocket folders, etc.

Excel: Use your computer’s spreadsheet program to further stay on top of things. Organize your seating chart, bridal gifts, etc. Use the Search option to further simplify things.
