Ian Stuart - A Gown for Every Bride

Ian Stuart's line of bridal gowns has something for everyone. It may be the most diverse couture brand on the market. The thing that I love about the gowns is the distinctive French elegance that comes through each design. So, no matter your wedding theme or personal taste you should take a look at the many Ian Stuart collections at www.ianstuart-bride.com

Deep Purple Wedding

Deep purple will bring a flare of passion, curosity and elegance to your wedding. Purple is also a great wedding color because it flatters many skin/hair colors - making every bridesmaid happy:) This color blends well with mustard yellow, sage green, white and off-white.

Green with Envy

Your friends will be *green* with envy when they attend this wedding. Green weddings are a fun addition to this year's hottest color trends. The nice thing about using green is that you can mix and match a lot of different shades of green and still keep a clean look. Green also goes well with many other colors, including black & white for a sophisticated finish.

Trend Watch - Poppies

One of the hottest trends this season is Poppy/Coral and Light Blue. I suggest going with "Tiffany Blue," named after the famous jewelry company. Brides can, and should, have fun on their wedding day - what better way to do so than a pair of killer heels. I love the bright coral shoes shown here. Go ahead, cater to your inner princess!

Something Blue

With summer fast approaching many new colors are hitting the wedding design scene. Blue is one of my absolute favorites. The next couple of blogs I will highlight some of the new color trends and show some of the inspiring ideas that each new color brings. Blue is timeless and so romantic. The bridesmaids dresses, from the Vineyard Collection, are sure to look good on every bridesmaid - no matter their hair color or complexion!

Putting a little extra money into corporate event design can really pay off. The photos above show what a wow factor carefully planned table scapes can have. These tables, designed by Bliss Events, make the event one to remeber. The designs are elegant, yet functional... perfect for any event! Weddings, corporate events, non-profit events or social gatherings can all copy the basic design elements shown here.
