Color Block Wedding!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

One of the newest trends in weddings for 2014 is color blocking.  Color blocking is “blocks” of solid colors put together.   In 2014, you will see color blocking in everything from wedding fashion to wedding decor.  When using bright colors this look can make a very a bold statement.  Here are some of our favorite inspiration photos to help you create the perfect color blocked wedding.

Start off by finding the perfect color blocked invitation in your wedding colors.

My favorite way to use color blocking is with the bridesmaid dresses!  Another hot trend is to have bridesmaids wear skirts. Choose a skirt in one color and a shirt in another to create your perfect color blocked combination.

If you don’t find the right bridesmaid dress, wear a fun color blocked shoe!

Use draping during the ceremony in solid bold colors to create the color blocked look.

For the reception tables, use the same vases with different colored flowers in each one.  Or choose color blocked stationary and plates with the same color flowers.

You can’t have a color blocked wedding without carrying the same theme for the cake.  We love these color blocked wedding cakes!

Elegant Halloween Themed Wedding

Themed weddings are one of the hottest trends for 2014!  Themed weddings are lots of fun for the guests and done in the right way are far from cheesy!  Lately, I have heard of more and more brides considering a Halloween themed wedding.  At first, this theme may seem far from what you typically imagine when picturing a wedding, but with the right details it can be frightfully fantastic!  Take a look at some of these inspiration photos for an elegant Halloween wedding!

One of the keys of having a Halloween wedding is to have fun and think outside of the box when deciding on decor.  Try using yellow as a wedding color instead of orange/black!

Consider wearing a black sash or for a truly unique look wear a black wedding dress!  Don’t forget about the guys.  Love these matching Halloween socks!

Reception Idea: Wedding Bucket List

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Have you ever wanted to create a bucket list?  A bucket list consists of things you want to do.  Some people create bucket lists for a season, for a year or even for a lifetime.  As you start your new life as husband and wife why not create a bucket list of things to do as a married couple?  Coming up with that list may be harder than it sounds, so try asking your wedding guests to help you!

Have guests write down a bucket list item they think your should do as a married couple.  Read them after the wedding and start checking off your items!
