New ideas for orange and yellow color palatte!

When you think of the fall colors orange and yellow, it is easy to conjure images of lit jack-o-lanterns and Halloween decor.  But, these colors can also create a wonderful vibe.  Their color tones can be warm, inviting, formal and elegant or casual and fun.  With September being the third most popular month for weddings, you should embrace the season and make it your own.

This fall, orange is the hottest trend.  Yellow is such a complimentary color to balance the striking orange.  Depending on your location and the vibe you are looking for, these colors can be both vibrant and muted. For instance, this first bouquet uses muted oranges and cremes that gives a natural feeling of being outdoors.  The second bouquet is vibrant, alive, and has such a pop of color.

New Beginings

Fall has always been a time for new beginnings.  It signals a new season, a new school year, and new fashion trends.  Weddings, easily one of the most important milestones in a persons life, also have a sense of new beginnings as a couple decides to take the leap to officially begin a life together.

This fall I have my own new beginning.  I have always been passionate about planning events.  I love thinking through all of the many small details ensuring nothing is overlooked, developing possible contingency plans in attempts to expect the unexpected, and finally the thrill and exhilaration of everything coming together to produce a unique, memorable and flawlessly executed event. 

While I have enjoyed planning events ranging from fundraisers to new student orientations, a wedding is truly an event of a lifetime. Like any wedding, my own wedding last Spring had it's own set of challenges- including the groom spending the hours before the wedding sick in the emergency room.  But, it was an event that reflected us as individuals and as a couple.  I posted some pictures on my Wedding Portfolio page.

I am looking forward to my new venture helping other brides plan their important day and exploring what the future may hold.
