Blue and Yellow Wedding

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

I would have to say blue and yellow weddings are some of my favorite.  Pantone came out with the top colors for 2012 with soladite blue and solar power being among them.  These colors work perfectly together to make a timeless and beautiful color combination.

Blue and yellow are great for any season but especially work in the summer with the bright yellow flowers.  Pairing this color combination with ivory is the perfect way to accent the colors and break up the boldness of each color.

My favorite part about a blue and yellow wedding are the gorgeous blue bridesmaids dresses paired with bright yellow bouquets that looks beautiful against the darker dresses and will show up great for photography.

Some brides are evening using soladite blue, solar power and hints of gray and/or green as accent colors which give a more earthy casual feel to the wedding.

For the reception tables you can choose to use more yellow or more blue in your linens.  My favorite look is to go with an all blue or patterned blue overlay  and use yellow flowers that will stand out and be seen on the tables.

Leave us your thoughts on this yellow and blue wedding color combination!!  We want to hear what you think!

Happy Planning!

All That Glitters is…Gold!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Metallics, especially gold, are one of the biggest trends in 2012 and I am completely in love with this trend!  If you want an elegant yet modern wedding, try pairing your wedding colors with gold.  So many colors look fabulous with gold and it instantly transforms a soft, neutral color palette in to a rich color story.

Gold is a not only a perfect accent to many different wedding colors but is best seen in the wedding details.  One of the first ways to give you guests a sneak peek in to your wedding is with your choice of invitation.  Gold letterpress invitations are a perfect choice when using gold!

Some bold brides are even choosing to wear gold wedding dresses.  Definitely not a for every bride but if you want to stand out, a gold dress will certainly do the trick!

If a gold wedding dress is a little too much for you, then try pairing your dress with gold shoes or accessories.

You can even carry a bouquet with gold accents!

Many brides are going all out and choosing a gold wedding cake.  At first I thought this might be a little over the top but I have to say I think it is so unique and interesting I just can’t help but love it!

Whether you choose a soft color palette like pink or choose a bold color like orange, gold is the perfect compliment!

Look how unbelievable gold looks with this chevron pattern (another 2012 trend)!?!

Tell us what you think about this 2012 metallic trend.  Like or dislike…we want to know!

Happy Planning!

The Best Wedding App!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

While looking at some of my favorite wedding blogs (other than this one ;)) I kept reading about a wedding app designed for engaged couples. The app that everyone in the wedding industry is talking about is called Appy Couple.  I did a little of my own research and I am very excited about this unique mobile wedding app to help you share your wedding with family and friends.

The best part of this app is how easy it is to use.  You pay a setup fee and then your guests (no matter how many guests you have) can download the app for free.  Don’t worry if all of your guests don’t have a Smartphone, Appy Couple gives you a free coordinating wedding website.

I am in love with all of the designs and you can customize everything to coordinate with your wedding colors and theme. This app includes all the information guests will need for the wedding including your wedding registry, travel arrangements and things to do in the area.   The app also allows you to send instant updates, pictures, or personal messages to guests about the wedding. Guests can even RSVP to the wedding directly on the app…how cool is that??

This app is like a wedding website where you can share stories on how you and your fiance met or inspiration for theme of the wedding.  One of my favorite parts of the app is that you can update bridal party on events like luncheons and rehearsal dinner times, etc.

Check it out for yourself!! The Appy Couple is for Iphone, Ipad and Web and Android Market will be coming soon!

Happy Planning!
