Latest inspiration board... The Perfect Compromise- Fuschia & Navy

For the bride that loves pink and the groom who doesn't... fuschia and navy is a really nice way to balance things out and compromise. You may be thinking right now... "but I love love love pink and his oppinion doesn't matter"... No matter how crazy their little ideas can sometimes be, I always try and incorporate the groom's input into my weddings. Why? Because its his wedding too, they try ladies, they try and they do care. You will be married to this person for a long time... it will be a lifetime of compromising. Why not start now? Walking into an overdone pink on pink wedding is kind of traditionally boring. Why not make it fun and reflect your personalities perhaps his favourite colour is blue. Add the blue like a navy blue and make that pink pop and keep it so its not over done. It looks so beautiful, modern and chic, also it adds the two of you into the theme of your wedding.

Babys breath-simple, wild and elegant on its own



As seen on Design Mom

Babys breath.... sigh. This cutsy little flower I have to admit has grown on me. Not as a filler flowers mixed with carnations or roses, but something all by itself. When I picture babys breath I think of me 4 years old as a flower girl for my uncles wedding with curly tendrils and babys breath throughout my hair and bouquet. So I thought, is there anything out there that has babys breath on its own, and there was. Here's the canvas (you can find the links to my sources here as well and you may want to adjust your volume as there is music with it)...

Baby's breath would look breathtaking for your "country chic" wedding, perhaps in an old galvanized watering can for your garden wedding, as an accent in white for your "add your colour here" plus white wedding, your winter wedding or the good ol'fashioned white wedding.
And the best part of babys breath is it's an inexpensive flower.

Babys breath floral care & handling tip... if you want the buds to be more open fill your sink with very warm water, cut a bit of the ends of the stems, then put the ends of the stems underwater so that they can drink, you will see some of the buds open up, give it a little tap, after a few minutes place them back into a vase.
