pink loves orange



























Normally, I'm not one to pair two intense colors, like this. I'm usually into more subtle colors. But, a few weeks ago, I found an old photo of myself, as a teenager, wearing this fun A-line dress, which I had designed and made. I was into 1960s fashion, at the time, and I felt that pink and orange was the most fabulous color combination ever. Pink and orange together certainly looks zingy and cute, and it seems quite perfect for autumn.

: bliss : wedding backdrops

I've been noticing a wedding trend, lately, of creating beautiful backdrops, for both ceremony and reception. This is not the tulle swathed look of days gone by. Rather, there are fabulous paper flowers, pinwheels, and cranes. And even a projection of a tree arbor, which has a sort of theatrical quality. What a lovely way to transform a space!

: bliss : black & white wedding
























As always, black and white looks striking and chic, to me. And that goes for wedding themes. I think that the b&w theme is timeless, just as a wedding should be. Not to mention, it photographs well. Bridesmaids certainly appreciate having a fabulous LBD to wear post-wedding day. For added color, I think Tiffany blue, pale pink, lavender, or yellow would look beautiful paired with black and white.
