'Two Hearts In Love' Thursdays. [Color Palette: Blue & Orange]

{via} 

Hey beautiful ladies,  I assume no guys read these posts (But hey to you if you do).

So I took a week off last week from the wedding planning series, hope no-one minded too much.

I have been trying to be consistent in these posts just in case anyone is finding them really helpful.

I hope that is the case.

Its been a few weeks since I did a color palette, so I thought I would use today to add another one.

These are two colors I would have never put together, but they are simply stunning!! 

I love hearing what colors people have chosen when they are planning a wedding.

Its almost wedding season (summer) for us....we have at least four we are attending this year. We are going to have to miss out on several as they dont fit with travel plans. 

A&I are also going to be in the wedding party of one this summer too.

My beautiful sister is getting married.....not till Sept though =)

So anyway.....

hope you find inspiration in the pins.

Even if these aren't your colors, remember ideas are totally transferrable to other colors.

Much Love,

L

P.S. Great Tip: Make sure you get a swatch of the exact shade you are using (maybe from somewhere like David's Bridal) and match everything to the exact shade, or you might end up with a lot of different shades.

'Two Hearts In Love' Thursdays. [Wedding Shoes]

 

I have no idea what you guys think of when you plan your wedding with regard to shoes.

I personally wanted flats for a number of reasons.

I felt it would be a long day and flats would be so much more comfortable walking around and greeting people =)

You spend a lot of time on your feet on your wedding day btw.

The other reason was that A is not that tall, so I didn't want to be taller than him in some gigantic heels.

Best decision I ever made when thinking about having comfortable feet.

They still hurt at the end of the day but they would have been SO bad if I had worn heels.

Having said that a lot of girls look great in heels and are used to wearing them (unlike me) so they may want heels on their day.

This girl wanted her dad to walk her down the aisle, 

he had passed away so she put these charms on her shoes. 

Kinda cute.

I chose blue flats in a typical arabic style shoe {see top picture}, part of our culture growing up.

They were super comfortable, and reminded me of our high school prom haha.

They were my 'something blue' not that I believe in wedding superstitions of course.

I could have gone with pink to match the bridesmaid dresses which would have looked just as cool.

I love the color themes and matching the accessories to your colors.

Such fun!

Then there are the bridesmaid shoes, if you are choosing them as the bride.

You can decide whether to put them in heels or have them in flats. 

Whichever you choose, both can looks pretty amazing.

I never knew there were as many options for cute shoes as there are.

Dessy sell flipflops you can buy your girls as favors with your wedding color round the rim, awesome for dancing at the reception, 

or even as shoes if you're having an outdoor/beach wedding.

You don't have to choose the classic white or black heels. I totally did with my bridesmaids and just let them have their own white heels. At least they could hopefully rewear them.

But these Pinterest finds make you really want to be creative.

 Loving the colors to accent the outfit.

 Totally!!!!

 I Love red shoes.

 Try some embellishments on the heels.

Fun text underneath anyone? =)

I would highly recommend a bride & groom shot of your feet, be sure to mention it to your photographer.

They look so cute.

I totally forgot about this on the day =)

Maybe we should capture this 2 years later? What you think?

Much Love,

L

'Two Hearts In Love' Thursdays. [Rain.]

 

My guess is that if you're planning on taking outdoor pictures, or planning an outdoor wedding, you've probably thought a lot about the weather.

Now if you live in the desert, you can probably guarantee that there won't be any rain.

However for the vast majority of us who get weather surprises, you just can't tell.

Just to point out, in the first picture which was one of my own wedding pictures, we didn't even have rain during the time we were out in the field.

But I found these gorgeous parasols which we chose to give our bridesmaids as gifts. 

They looked SO cool in the pictures.

I forget where I bought mine, but they totally sell them over at The Knot Wedding Shop.

They even come in a variety of colors, not just white.

I thought I would share some fun pictures taken with umbrellas to show that rain really doesn't have to be that big of a problem.

Well...at least for the pictures.

If you've scheduled to have an outdoor ceremony.....you might need a back-up indoor location.

(Just sharing what I would do)

Totally LOVE her pink heels.

As that last photo shows, you can totally have fun even with a multicolored umbrella.

Don't let the weather spoil your wedding day.

Enjoy the rain!

Break out the umbrellas.

Much Love,
