Chicago Indian Wedding

I love when I get to share weddings of the people I love.  My cousin, Jasmin, married her Mister this past March, and their wedding, captured by Almond Leaf Studios, is featured on Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book.  Jasmin did an amazing job creating a vintage ambiance to their traditional Indian wedding, and the 3 days of wedding festivities were so much fun.  And today we are sharing her travel themed bridal shower on rnlMusings.  Don't they make such a cute couple?  And to see these two love birds in action, you can checkout their wedding trailer below.

Pink & Purple Wedding Inspiration

With the big wedding around the corner we're sharing the lovely couple's color palette for their big day.  It's a beautiful combination of blush, pink, & purple.  The ceremony will feature a bolder pink and purple combination, while the reception will play with softer hues like blush and feature plenty of romantic candle light.  Can't wait for the festive weekend ahead and to celebrate the beautiful couple.

St. Patty's Day Wedding Inspiration: Luck of the Irish

A St. Patty's Day inspired wedding board.  Imagine a backdrop of lush green countryside, subdued hues of green, romantic florals, soft candle light, and bouquets of wild flowers wrapped in lace.  And no St. Patty's Day inspired wedding would be complete without four leaf clover accents, a palette of soft white and green, hints of moss, and rustic elements.  Inspiration for your St. Patty's Day inspired soiree, enjoy!

Oscar Gold

This Sunday is the 84th Annual Academy Awards!  And it's the perfect excuse to gather friends, make some popcorn and polish off those girl scout cookies.  As much as I love Hollywood today, nothing comes close to the classic elegance and glamor of old Hollywood.  Seeing as the Oscar's are considered Hollywood's golden night, here's some golden, old Hollywood inspiration for your Oscar's soiree, enjoy!

Lime Green & Purple

One of our lovely couples getting married this summer, Anisha & Mike, asked us for some lime green & eggplant purple inspiration.  We love the way lime green pops off the darker purple palette, it'll make for a stunning visual.  Some purple & lime green inspiration for your soiree, enjoy!

Black & Blush Bliss

Love this color combination.  The blush creates a soft and elegant feel while the black resonates an ambiance of classic sophistication.  Combined it's the perfect modern romance knockout for your wedding or shower.  Some ways to incorporate black and blush into your soiree, enjoy!
