Wanna {ROLE-PLAY}? Bubblegum Pink, Seaside Blue and Orange Crush // My Dream Wedding (Vol. 1)

One of the BIGGEST QUESTIONS you will
ask while planning is

"What colors do we want
to use for our wedding?"

It's simple. Just choose your favorites!

If I were to have my dream wedding today I would use my favorite color Seaside Blue because my favorite colors as a kid were blue and green. The last few years I have found a new attachment to corals, oranges and even fuchsia. I would want my wedding to be filled with bright, bold and beautiful accents to ensure that my guests would smile the whole day!

These pictures would be the perfect inspiration for the decor because of the pops of color. As an artist, I have always known that blue and orange are complementary colors on the color wheel. You can see why they work so well together. I would want to wear super hot aquamarine heels under a fitted white lace dress with a bouquet full of hot oranges and pinks. The men would wear neutral suits in khaki or grey with hot pink ties and vests. I'm sorry guys, but you look pretty hot in pink!

The flower girl could wear a sweet coral party dress, the cocktail could be vodka-infused strawberry lemonade, and the reception could be poolside or by the lake (I'm dreaming here).

All I know is that if I could get my paint brush out for a "dream wedding" art piece, you would find these colors on my palette. Why not have such a special day reflect your mood and personality with the colors that make you happy?

Something Blue {bridal shower} // Wedding Day Prep (Vol. 3)

Get ready for the showers... and I don't mean April rain! If you're a woman and you have girlfriends, (which most of us do) you will most likely be attending at least one bridal shower this year. What does this mean? Well, you might be a close friend or relative in the wedding and decide to host the shower. Or you are a friend that is invited to attend. You could be the Mother of the Bride who wants to help in any way possible. And lastly, you might be the guest of honor, the lovely bride-to-be!

One of my lovely Fizzy Brides sent an email to me after her bridal shower. She had surprised all of the ladies with my custom glasses with cartoon portraits of each as well as the wedding colors. Blue was the color of the bridesmaid's dresses and I always like to match the bottom of the glasses to the dress color. I always wish I could be a little fly on the wall each time my glasses are opened as gifts. It would be so fun to everyone's faces and hear the squeals of excitement when they see their likeness on a fun and practical gift. Ronessa, the bride, was lovely enough to send these fabulous pictures that truly captured the moment I've always wanted to see!

"Hi Bethany, I have attached some pictures below. I'm sure you can tell by their faces that the girls thought the glasses were great! Thank you, Ronessa"
