Wedding Colors: Vintage & Strawberry

04/30/2013 By Kristin Austin No Comments

Set the tone for your summer wedding with soft shades of red and blue… and then end the evening with dreamy fireworks! This vintage and subtly patriotic wedding color combination is a wonderful example of how you can tie multiple colors together with various materials. Adding a layer or even a crystal to your unique wedding invitation is a great way to introduce a third color and make your invites really pop!

Trend: Yarn Wedding Inspiration

04/29/2013 By Kristin Austin 2 Comments

Yarn is undeniably getting its moment in the sun right now — wrapped, tied, knotted, and even tangled, DIY yarn projects are trending in the world of weddings and beyond! We love the many ways to incorporate yarn into your big day. Though crocheted or knitted projects are gorgeously intricate, you don’t have to be a master crafter to make something beautiful out of yarn. Wrapping yarn around milk jars or monograms is a simple way to add color in a modern, but cozy kind of way. Tying small yarn pompoms and hanging en masse can make a huge impact as a backdrop, while a yarn ball chandelier to top it all off simply deserves a “Wow!”
