Stylish Wedding Hair :: Side Ponytail

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Side ponytails are a way of keeping your hair out of your face but still showing off your long and beautiful locks!  Whether it is full of curls or loose and romantic, your hair will give off a playful but glam look.

This is one of my favorite side designs shown below.  I love how it is less curly than the others, but still offers volume and style to the overall look.

Wedding Flowers :: Lily of the Valley

Friday, September 18th, 2009

For a much lighter, whimsical feel to your wedding I love these Lilies of the Valley.  Incorporating them into your bouquet will give it a much fuller look while keeping a romantic touch.

Mixing them into both the grooms flower and your bouquet will help tie you together in pictures.

I love how this cake took the Lily of the valley and incorporated it into the design.  The green leaves against the white icing makes the decoration stand out even more.  This is one small additional detail that will help incorporate a consistency throughout the day.

Who can resist this dramatic orange and midnight blue plant that resembles an exotic bird peeking out from the broad leaves.  A bold and simple style is my suggestion to you when you are using this flower at your wedding.  I would love to see pictures of how you incorporated this flower into your wedding day!

Gerbera Daisies are my happy flowers. Design your wedding with bright colors and Gerbera Daisies to complement.  These flowers work perfectly to guarantee your centerpieces and bouquets will stand out at the wedding.

I adore these centerpieces, the lime green in the limes at the bottom of the vases adds a fun and unexpected twist to the flowers.  These work great for spring and summer weddings, these flowers bring a certain attitude to the event.

I love these flowers for the guys, but I want to warn you…talk with your florists first.  These flowers don’t always hold up for a long period of time without water.  Florist have a variety of tricks to make these last as long as possible!
