What a wonderful day at the Point Plaza Bridal Show on Sunday! Very well put together by Gail, this bridal show was no sleeper. We saw a great group of brides who were eager to learn about the latest trends and design ideas for their upcoming wedding! Point Plaza Hotel did a great job in producing this wedding show and offered a nice selection of menu options!

Dave from Studio 757 was in attendance and displayed his talents with his unique photography!

Ames Tuxedos out of NewportNews offers the best tuxedos and believe me they have everything for your men to be beautifully dressed as the bridal show featured great tuxedo options!

Back to the brides.....this show allowed me to meet such a lovely group of ladies! I so enjoy hearing about the colors of each wedding, the locations that they are considering and all the details of the planning! One bride chose Las Vegas as her destination wedding and another future bride is preparing for a local beach wedding! Oh, and the color palette a few brides chose salmon and yellow...(dont sleep on yellow for 2010), teals with green, and vibrant colors such as fushia and lime green! I love the different options that allow each bride to make their wedding day unique! Take a look at this inspiration board for ideas...Happy Planning!

Red Sunflowers

What an amazing focal point to have red sunflowers take the center of attention at this poolside wedding and reception! Meghan and Brendan were so madly in love and it showed thru their amazing pictures captured by Andi.....their fabulous photogrpaher! Take a peak and I promise you will feel like you were right there at the pool!

Enjoy!

Color- Choose what represents your style!

You can make it work!
"The ballroom at Hampton Roads Convention Center looked amazing. Tanya Frazier not only coordinated the wedding but did all the flower arrangements in towering displays that included pale green, variegated cala lillies and palm fronds. Check out this style swatch to see how it all came together".

The color of your choice is an important component when designing your wedding. I am working with a bride who is getting married in September and has not chosen her color yet.....We are proceeding cautiously, as color invites the critical link and the key to the "feel" you want your guests to have on your wedding day!


Dont limit your choices!
You can have any color of the rainbow, but keep it in the family of contrasting or monochromatic. So whether you want Pool Blue or Vintage Lavendar, your color scheme will establish the tone and the environment when choosing the flowers to accessorize!

Above pictures are some examples of how colors can add surprising details to your wedding!
