Contests!

Jul 21st

I’ve been trying to get this post up all day to let you all know ASAP, but other obligations (work) prevented me from doing so.

I want to help everyone find the best things for their weddings, and what better way to GET these things than contests? We all would like a chance at getting free stuff!

Style Me Pretty is having a contest for gorgeous cake stands from Raise the Cake. All you have to do is pick out which one is favorite from their collection and post a comment on Style Me Pretty’s post telling them which one it is!

Next, we have the Savvy Steal Giveaway from One Wed for a Simple Human steel bar rectangular step can. Yeah, I know, it’s a trash can, but if you know your housewares, you know that Simple Human is the best of the best. This trash can is worth $200! So why not enter to win it?

*Both contests end on Friday, so enter soon!

Inspiration Board: Peach & Teal

A very dear friend of mine (best) has been obsessing over Peach and Teal colors for the past few weeks. Every so often I get an email of a photo or link with the words “Remind me I want this for my wedding that isn’t happening for another 10 years.”

Well, I know this time span isn’t true, and I absolutely adore her, so I made a Inspiration Board to tickle her fancy. She has always talked of a beach wedding, and these colors are perfect for the beach.

Along the way, I realized how fresh and crisp the two colors are together. The combination exudes class, intimacy, and a very easygoing vibe. Peach and teal (or orange and aqua/turquoise for bolder color choices) would work wonderfully as a color palette for any season. Adding in neutrals, such as white or tan, could easily set the tone from playful to more elegant.

*Row 3: Outdoor seating; candles; Ceremony decor; small centerpiece

And I did eat a peach while searching for all of this inspiration. How could you not?
