Many more breathtaking photos to come from this elaborate and intimate wedding in Chicago.   The red and orange details were stunning against black tea length dresses.  The bride wore the red shoes below as she strutted down the aisle.  The reception hall was perfectly decorated for this fall 2010 wedding! Quickly the energy in the room was in full celebration mode as the guests hit the dance floor and the live band made sure everyone was on their feet.  A candy buffet awaited each guest as they left with a mixture of everyone’s  favorite  red and orange candies. The night was a success and thanks to Rich Miller will be remembered with wonderful photos!

I have mentioned numerous times on my blog that many people can sign there name on a sheet a paper and conduct a form of roll call at your wedding. You want to remember your guests not only by their name but by their personality that they brought to your day. If you aren’t hosting a formal event, or even if you are – and you want to introduce some fun to your day order this book, 642 Things to Draw.

This book will allow your group to not only leave their signature, but a drawing of their choice. Trust me this will allow your guests a good laugh at the wedding and you will have a great book of memories of your day! Whether it is as simple as a sandwich or as complex as a string quartet – let your guests get creative while they wait for you to walk down the aisle!

Also you can find it at Amazon and search through the inside of the book to get a sneak peek.

I came across these engagement photos from Wedding Creativo Photography and fell in love!  Unique.  Full of Personality. Peaceful. Disciplined.

How did you personalize your wedding? These M&M’s are a great way to add color and personalization to your big day, along with a sweet satisfaction!

You can head over to MyM&M’s and create your own message on your customized chocolate candy!  These are great because you can order the colors that you want, to enhance the theme at your wedding.  Use them on a candy bar, or place them individually at each place setting – but make sure to do your calculations carefully so you don’t run out.  You can’t just run to CVS and pick up more of these custom treats!

Since these M&M’s are more expensive, possibly using them at a bridal shower is a better option for you. This way you don’t have to order as many M&M’s but you still get the same yummy message across to those you love!  The M&M’s that you see in the photo were customized for my wedding – going along with my pink and orange colors.  They had both my name and my husbands name on them and were placed at each place setting for my bridal shower and on these ice cream bowls that the hostess made.  They were a great addition, that stood out to me and my guests!

Add some flavor to your wedding  with some delicious avocado.  Combine this brilliant color with pinks or browns, blacks or creams – each color will help create a different atmosphere for your event.  This avocado green will mix with and compliment almost any color!

These vibrant colors can be seen throughout your menu choices or your paper programs/save the dates.  Show off the the avocado green in your flowers or let it pop against your white or chocolate tiered cake!

What color did you mix with avocado to create a memorable combination?
