Hot (and Cool) Wedding Colors | Pantone’s 2016 Colors of the Year

By, January 12, 2016

Pantone 2016 Color of the YearAlong with the New Year comes the announcement of Pantone’s Color of the Year! For 2016, Pantone broke from tradition for the first time in history, and made not one but two selections: Rose Quartz and Serenity. These colors combine aspects of warm and cool tones, creating a perfect sense of fresh balance and calm. We decided to show how Pantone’s winners can add to the wedding day fun, and create new possibilities this wedding season.

As you will see in the photos below, both Rose Quartz and Serenity make for dynamic and memorable wedding accent colors. The subtle, muted blues of Serenity are cool and tranquil, while Rose Quartz complements with its punch of pink vibrance. When paired together, the romantic, sunset effect will leave your guests enchanted. Both colors are great any time of year, and can be augmented by a variety of greens and purples, or splashes of silver and yellow. In addition, these hues can be found in the natural environment, creating a dramatic and artistic backdrop for wedding day images.

If you’re looking to add an elegant twist to your big day, we’ve gathered the perfect inspiration for incorporating these trending colors. Scroll through the images below highlighting Rose Quartz and Serenity, and make sure to pin your favorites :)

Vintage Weddings | Nostalgia at its Best!

By, April 28, 2014

Things have a way of coming full circle. Embracing the vintage style at weddings makes everything old new again, in the best possible way. Some wedding couples take their “something old” and expand it into an entire wedding theme! Decorative touches such as antique furniture, mid-century fashions, and classic décor provide the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable vintage wedding.

We love to capture weddings that have a sense of nostalgia for bygone eras. Here are some of our favorite shots from weddings that are recent, yet vintage :) We hope you enjoy!

Groom’s Fashion | Which American City Represents Your Style?

By, May 09, 2013

Like a wedding dress, the groom’s attire helps set the tone and style for the wedding day. The groom’s outfit helps to dictate whether the wedding has a relaxed beach vibe, a party atmosphere, or a formal air of sophistication. A lot of work goes into selecting the perfect jacket, locating a stunning tie, or finding the right pair of fresh new kicks. We love that our grooms put care and attention into their ensembles, and continually prove themselves as style icons.

Taking a look at some of our past grooms, we paired several distinctive looks with famous cities across America. Check out the styles below and tell us what type of groom you are!
