We’re all about fall. Sweater weather, PSL in hand, and of course, pumpkins everywhere. While the bright foliage of fall is gorgeous to look at, it might not be your choice when it comes to wedding colors. But neutrals go with everything so turn that bright pumpkin down a few shades and you’re good to go! We love when couples take their seasonal favorites and change the color, especially when they make them gold! In honor of fall, here’s a few of our favorite ways to use gold and cream in your pumpkin wedding decor.
We love the bright bold colors of fall. With practically every tree bursting with color, even the foliage is basically already wedding decor. As much as we love red, orange, yellow, and purple, they’re not everyone’s favorite colors. Plus, it’s something we’ve all seen before. Thankfully, fall has more to offer than just bold warm colors. Try these three alternative fall color schemes for a softer approach to cooler weather.
Christmas is just a few days away! New years plans are in the making and that means LOTS OF SEQUINS!
If you as me, the best part of New Years Eve is all the glitz and glam, sequins everywhere. Whether you’re looking for a NYE inspired wedding or just some fun ideas, you can’t go wrong with some gold sequins. If these ideas are just the beginning, check our Pinterest board for more NYE inspiration!
It’s no secret that we love everything pink and preppy, and the Vineyard Vines whale is no exception. What’s not to love about a brand that’s all about fun in the sun? As it gets colder here we’re dreaming of warm weather weddings, with sun and waves and of course, our favorite summer wardrobe staples. You know, like Vineyard Vines.
If you’re dreaming on a Vineyard Vines themed wedding, check out their wedding site and maybe even create a customize tie and cummerbund set for your big day. Complete with a personalized embroidery/text section on the backside of the tie, these set are the perfect groom and groomsmen gifts. A one of a kind piece they will actually wear again.
If we were planning a Vineyard Vines themed wedding it might look something like this…
The cake would be pink and navy with whales of course.
The groom would wear this smashing “Crabby” tie.
There would be plates and plates of these whale cookies.
The ring bearer and flower girl would be too cute to handle.
Even the drinks would be decorated with whales.
There would be no shortage of fabulous bow ties.
There would take lots of pictures like these.
The bridesmaids would be cool, comfortable, and stylish.
The favors would be just the cutest.
And the couple might even sail away on a VV printed surf board. You know, just because they can.
