WEDDING TREND TUESDAY - DUSTY ROSE

Choosing your wedding colors can be a daunting task. You want to reflect your personal style and tastes while also encompassing the theme or ideas you have for your big day. Sometimes it can be helpful to start with a neutral and blend accent colors that you love. Enter Dusty Rose....


One of the hottest colors of 2017, dusty rose is like rose gold's non-metallic cousin. This muted pink shade is a great neutral and can be paired with jewel tones like navy and emerald or with softer colors like blues and grays. It also is a very flattering color on many skin tones, so would be a fantastic choice for your bridesmaids. 





This lovely, soft hue would be perfect for a vintage wedding, a rustic wedding, or a more elegant soiree. It really is a perfect option for a lot of brides. Would you consider adding dusty rose to your wedding color palette?

WEDDING TREND TUESDAY - FOOD & DRINK PAIRINGS

When most people think of pairing food with drink, they think of wine. White with fish, red with beef, which wine goes best with which cheese, etc. But with the rise of cooking shows, internet food blogs, and the mainstreaming of "foodie" culture, more people are interested in new flavors and combinations. This interest has carried over into weddings, where couples have taken to pairing tasty treats with liquid libations.
