Mason Jars

Mason Jars

Mason jars aren't just for canning anymore!  When it comes to weddings, mason jars can be used in a multitude of different ways.  From floral centerpieces to glowing candle holders, the jars can be accented by wrapping twine, lace, burlap, fabric or ribbon.  Mason jars are becoming even more stunning when painted in pastels or accented with a shimmery glitter. 

You can insert pictures for extra decor, paint them with chalkboard paint and use them for table numbers.  For the ceremony, they can hang from trees, from the chairs or on shepherd hooks down the aisle.  You can even incorporate them into your food and beverages by using them for drinks, salad in a jar or dessert parfaits.  Your possibilities are endless with mason jars!

Grecian Weddings

Grecian Weddings


To purify themselves, Ancient Greek women would bath in a river or fountain that was considered sacred to the goddess of wedlock.  Now a days, both the hands and feet are washed to insure purity.

Greek weddings usually take place in the morning, most commonly after morning liturgy (public worship), because the bride and groom fast before the ceremony.  The Betrothal (exchanging of rings) and the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony (crowning) are the two most important parts of an Eastern Orthodox Wedding.  The crowns may be a wreath of flowers or an actual crown made of gold with red velvet and jewels.

Bread is dipped into wine and given to the bride and groom in ancient Greek tradition.  Brides in Greece also believe that sugar tucked into their wedding gloves will sweeten their marriage.

We can look for stunning shades of blues and whites to encompass the Grecian theme.  From midnight blue to turquoise to pale blue we can anticipate shades that will be accented with golds and marble tones when it comes to the silverware, stationary, cakes and jewelry.

Visioning many beautiful beach weddings to take a new twist in 2014.

For the love of gray...






Gray... that fabulous color between black and white.  Great as an accent color or in the forefront.   From sharp gray suits to soft gray bridesmaids dresses the color has a warmth all its own.  Platinum diamond rings and chandeliers sparkle like no other as stationary details and chevron prints have an appealing affect.
 Shades of Grey

Whether you choose to use soft gray or sparkly silver make sure to use it with the 
appropriate blend of other colors to not drown out your beautiful day.  Custom 
white floral bouquets with a touch of dusty miller encompass just the right 
amount to off set the tone.  

Pantone Color Trend 2014 is Paloma. An awesome grey tone that is not 
quite a soft gray nor a charcoal as well.   Some colors come and go but classic 
gray never goes out of style.  Sometimes less is more...
 but with shades of gray it's always more.

Wedding Wishes,
~M

Glowing Bridal Hair Styles



Hair flowing, hair show it!!  Ok, So perhaps I have made my own rendition of  the song "Hair"
from the Hair Musical.  Thank goodness you did not have to hear me attempt to sing it
(incorrectly I might add).  After I Googled the lyrics I got inspired.

With so many different styles- up do's, down do's, and side do's galore!  Not to mention all the
clips, crowns, barrettes, feathers, bows, bells and whistles (perhaps you shouldn't put a
whistle in your hair).   How can one make such an important decision?   Do you want a
comfortable hair style that matches your personality or would you like to try something
new and have your hair make a signature bridal statement?

Whatever you do make sure to explore lots of options- gather a couple different styles to try out,
 seek a professional hair stylist (and yes, they are completely worth the money!), schedule that
trial run at least a month in advance and please, please, please make sure you do
not attempt any drastic new color choices too close to your wedding date.  

Remember: Trends are great but pictures last a lifetime.  Your decision will stick with you...
not only on your walls at home but your Facebook wall as well.

Wedding Wishes
