Pink Inspired Weddings
Pink is one of my favorite colors, and a very popular wedding color. Pink Wedding Dresses are now trending in Hollywood as well. Pink can be paired with so many colors. One of favorites is Pink and Gold, or Pink & Silver.
Traditionally Brides wear white, but if you want to opt for something different, there are some beautiful shades of pink wedding dresses. My favorite is a light Dusty Rose Pink, or a bubble gum pink.
Both of these are classic looks, just in Pink. I myself have a Pink Wedding dress. Some ideas for a non conventional wedding is to choose a colored gown, and have everyone else in white.
Pink bouquets are so beautiful and come in so many shades. You can have light pink with dark pinks, white, yellow, embellishments in silver, and gold. This one is one of my favorite I found on the web. It's a perfect bouquet of Pink and Bling. Perfection!(for me anyway!)
I love this one too where you can add in silver embellishments into the bouquet.
For a wedding cake you have countless options to make it outstanding. I personally think Pink with another color looks best but I love this one below that includes all shades of pink, from dark to light.
Here are some varieties of Pink for your cake selection.
One of the most important aspects to a wedding reception is uplighting in a specific color, and pink is a great choice to set a romantic ambience. Uplighting can be rented or you can purchase your own uplights.
To see a variety of lighting, Koyal Wholesale is a great place to view options. They are a wholesale company and offer over 10,000 wholesale items. I love their lighting options and it's a great place for inspiration and ideas.

Sexy Brides wear Sexy Shoes
When it comes to shoes for Brides, you can have a lot of fun shopping!
I prefer for a bright colored shoe, however they do make some very nice white, off white, and champagne colored shoes for Brides.
If you get a super sexy, tall high heeled pair of shoes, make SURE you have some flats, or lower heels waiting for you at the reception site.
I love red and hot pink shoes. Blue seems to be trending as well as purple! Check out Shoespie for a great selection of bridal shoes. I can't get enough of this storefront. They have a huge selection of colors! I have found my new site for Wedge heels.
I have become a shoe fanatic, never use to be. I like them all!
This one is my favorite of course, BLING!!!!
Again, I love the rhinestone bling shoes! Just imagine them sparkling on the Dance floor.
Whatever you choose, I think shoes can make you feel sexy, and feminine and ultimately will show at your reception for the garter toss section, and imagine how cute some photos could be with bright or sparkly shoes to show under your dress.

Travel Themed Weddings and Inspiration
Are you and your finacee into Traveling? I found some really cool and fun things for a travel inspired wedding.
I thought this was a really unique idea; as you and your husband/wife either leave church after saying I do, or as you leave your reception, have paper airplanes to throw,(OR FLY more appropriately) as you exit.
You can use regular paper, colored paper, or more appropriately, use Atlas paper, or maps with a variety of destinations.
With a travel themed wedding, you can also incorporate a "Map Cake", or maybe a map of somewhere significant you have traveled to.
For Seating arrangements, you can purchase some large Maps, and use different countries to match the tables.
Each table could be either a State, or a Country.
For a food table, there are a variety of ideas you can come up with.
I loved this travel inspired food table! I love how they used a little suitcase and called it "In Flight Snacks". Very creative!
A Candy buffet could be used similarly, with paper airplanes, little suitcases filled with different "In Flight" treats.
Invitations can be very unique and you can add your own personal style and obviously convey maybe areas you and yours have traveled to.
Gifts for your guests, or Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, or special relatives that have traveled long and far, use Atlas paper/or Maps to wrap gift boxes.
I thought this had a special touch and love the look of these gift boxes.

Country Weddings, Yee Haw! Country Centerpieces
I think planning a country western wedding would be super fun. There are so many good ideas for pulling off a country, yet sophisticated wedding ceremony and reception. Starting from little cowboy hat save the dates, to ceramic cowboy boot centerpieces holding fresh wildflowers, you can pull off an affordable wedding that is super cute. Centerpieces can be done by yourself and really affordably. Check out some of these ideas and inspiration.
