Aqua Blue and Red Wedding Color Inspiration

Are you ready for my favorite color combo? Sure, it's a little different and not your average wedding color - but these two colors together totally rock! I have seen these colors matched up before but, when I saw this gown from Bonny Bridal (style 6123) I was in love! What a gorgeous gown!

This dress is from the Crown Collection but, with it's little sweep train would be perfect for an outdoor wedding! I could even picture this dress in a tropical location - matching the ocean color! Just thinking about how beautiful this would be makes me want to fly off to an out of the way destination wedding!

Designer Bridal Gowns

Nothing beats designer bridal gowns when it comes to workmanship and uniqueness. These 'couture' wedding dresses are definitely on every bride's wish list, but their prohibitive price tags keep most brides from getting their hands on them. If you have the budget for one, however, then why not treat yourself?

More than the prestige and glamour, the main reason that women buy designer bridal wear is for quality and inimitability. Designer bridal gowns are made with natural fabrics that let your skin breathe, which is not always the case with off-the-rack dresses. And unlike ready-made gowns, a designer bridal gown is molded to flatter your figure. You can be fitted for the right trim, silhouette, and length. The gown can therefore highlight the areas you want to show off, and hide the areas you want to conceal.


When you choose to buy couture bridal wear, you will likewise get to personally pick out the fabric and dictate the detailing. The dress will be one-of-a-kind, causing you to feel extra-special on your wedding day.

There is a huge difference between the price of ready-made gowns and their designer counterparts, and you should seriously factor this in before going for the latter. A ready-to-wear dress can cost as little as $500, but couture prices start at about $3,000 and go as high as $9,000 or even more (depending on the length of time it takes to finish one, the type of fabric and the detailing).

Keep in mind that a wedding is no reason to go broke. Don't buy an expensive gown if you cannot afford it. Instead, buy your gown from specialty stores that offer 'designer-inspired' versions which look just as good as the original designs, but are made with less expensive fabrics. This might be the perfect choice if you want a gorgeous gown for a fraction of the cost.

Red, White and Black Wedding Inspiration

It's the beginning of a new month! This summer has been flying by! I continue to be amazed by the enormous talent of artists who hand make gorgeous details for your wedding or bridal shower! Today was inspired by seeing these gorgeous red poppies:

They are actually sugar flowers made by Two Sugar Babies. You can dress up any plain cake with their amazing creations and voila! You have a work of art! Two Sugar Babies  makes cookie toppers, cake pop decorations, and even brownie toppers! Their creations even coordinate with social stationary designed by Kelly Lyden of WHHostess. 




So, finding the poppies led me on an adventure of red, white and black! I fell in love with this sassy feather fascinator (veil is not included in the price but can be purchased individually) paired it with bridesmaid dress style 7104 from Bonny Bridal (about $165 suggested retail price) and then found these adorable peep toe pumps! The price is AMAZING - only $39.99 and free shipping from Your Shoe Store. Lastly, I headed back to Etsy for one more look around for wedding items in my color theme. Luckily for me (and you) I found these handmade paper flowers. The price is awesome: $3.75 for 25 flowers. These flowers gave me all kinds of ideas! They are small (approx. 5/8 in diameter). My mind started racing with all the things these dainty flowers could embellish for your wedding and DIY projects: invitations, placecards, will-you-be-my bridesmaid cards and so much more! Are you using Red, White and Black as your wedding colors? If so, share any of your amazing finds!
