Is Autumn the New June?

Hello! We've had a whirlwind summer season, and we'll have more real wedding pictures and stories up soon. In the meantime, we're getting excited about our upcoming fall weddings.

The weather's been cool and breezy for the past few days here in New Jersey, and even though summer isn't over, it sure does feel like fall is in the air! We've been seeing a surge in September and October weddings recently, which brings beautiful autumnal colors, leaf decorations, pumpkins, and even some masquerade-style feathered masks and Halloween candy stations.

So, what are your favorite fall event ideas? Do you like reds and oranges? Burgundy velvets and black branch centerpieces? Or do you favor more of a country autumn decor, with straw bales, colorful leaves, and pretty pheasant feathers? Tell us your favorite color schemes or fall decorations below!

2010 Bridal Trends We Love!

2010 is now in full swing, and already there are some cute, sassy, and fun wedding trends emerging. Here are a few that we're definitely in love with:

1. Wedding shoes in bold colors or prints. Whether it's hot pink, leopard print, or gingham, brides are letting a little personality peek through under the white skirts.

2. Birdcage veils. We love the retro, glamourous look of a delicate birdcage veil. Add in some pastel feathers or a vintage-look ornament to complete the look. It's timeless and yet so modern.



3. Useful favors. Couples today are eschewing the little bag of jordan almonds in favor of must-haves such as purse hooks, cute bottles of sunscreen, personalized water bottles, sewing kits, or even keyboard dusters! Finally, a wedding favor that your guests will keep for years.

4. The return of the "getaway dress." It's the end of the reception - time to change into a gorgeous new outfit for your "getaway"! This dress can be any color, not necessarily white, and adds a fun twist to the reception dress idea.
