Fall Over Colors No Longer!

College has started, football is on TV and the leaves have officially began to change colors! Fall has arrived! Shades of red, maroon and orange are filling the streets and sidewalks. This color palette makes for a great wedding! But don't think that seasonal colors are the only way to go for your upcoming nuptials! This fall isn't just about pumpkins and turning leaves anymore!

The newest color trends can take you from October all the way through February this year!


Charcoal, Grey, Silver, Plum, Purple, Lavender

Yes, they are fabulous colors, but you can turn them into fab textures too! Combine satin lavender bridesmaid dresses with charcoal wool suits for the men. Velour ribbon is the perfect wrap for your bouquets. Make a chilly afternoon wedding into a hot event with the warmth from heavy fabrics and deep colors!

Is your wedding a formal evening event? Add some sparkle with silver or champagne table toppers! Glittered votives or mirrored centerpiece bases will add light and panache!

Have fun and get creative with these cool shades!

To Mic or Not To Mic, That is the Question?!

"How was Angie's wedding last night?"

"It was super fun!"

"I bet the ceremony was beautiful!"

"Actually, I couldn't hear a word. The officiant didn't wear a microphone."

"Oh, lame."

Don't let this be a conversation your guests have after your wedding! Sure you are offering free food and cocktails, but don't forget your guests attend your wedding to actually witness you getting married! If they can't hear you or the officiant it will make for a lousy ceremony for your guests.

How can you avoid such a situation? Simply get a microphone for your officiant! A mic will allow both you and the officiant to be heard clearly wherever you get married. And don't fret about it being an eye sore or in the way of your special moment, you can rent a lapel microphone that the officiant can wear that are barely noticeable to the crowd.
