WEDDING SPOTLIGHT: Hillary & Nick’s Buffalo Wedding
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE & FIND A WY VENDOR: www.wyoweddings.com Thanks to Melanie Araas Design & Photography in Sheridan for sharing this week’s wedding spotlight! This sweet couple is Hillary & Nick, and they had a beautiful wedding on the mountain outside of Buffalo. One of Melanie’s favorite parts was capturing Hillary’s time preparing for the wedding — she chose a beautiful location in the trees as her spot. Melanie said this is a really unique and fun way to catch some awesome ‘getting ready shots’ — and I have to agree! Kudos to her makeup artist, WOW — I am seriously impressed by this unique idea!

COLOR INSPIRATION: Autumn + Orange
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE & FIND A WY VENDOR: www.wyoweddings.com OUR SISTER PUBS: Wyoming Lifestyle Magazine: www.wyolifestyle.com Wyovore: www.wyovore.com www.perfect-wedding-day.com Is there a more classic autumn color than orange? With the beautiful colors we’ve been seeing in Wyoming in the fall, it’s hard not to tie those in to your wedding decor. But when we think orange…do we have to think retro 70’s dark wood paneling and harvest gold countertops too? Or that carpeting you had as a kid that looked slightly like the Muppet you were watching on TV while you were eating PB&J with the crusts cut off? (Or was that just my house?) 🙂 No! Orange…

Andy & Tiffany were married July 16 in Riverton — check out these awesome images! A beautiful couple who look SO happy…a very supportive family…and some BLING on the bottom of Tiffany’s SHOES.

COLOR INSPIRATION: Persimmon!
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE & FIND A WYOMING VENDOR! www.wyomingweddingsonline.com My kiddos and I were in Mountain Valley Bridal in Laramie the other day, enjoying the color selection in the dresses. My oldest and I were very intrigued by PERSIMMON — another color that I for one was not very aware of! Did a little research and discovered — persimmon is a HOT wedding color! A persimmon is a fruit that is much like a tomato in size. It can be called simply ‘orange’, of course, but I would argue that persimmon has a little more something to it than just straight orange…perhaps a brown undertone? Pink? Hmmm…well, if you…

COLOR INSPIRATION: Apple Green!
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE! www.wyomingweddingsonline.com Here’s the link to March 31’s TV interview on Casper’s KCWY 13 TV — thanks again for the opportunity! http://www.kcwy13.com/news.php?id=167 Yesterday I was very fortunate to share wedding trends for 2011 on Casper’s KCWY 13 TV, and Hart’s Tux & Gown in Casper provided some beautiful dresses with us to share! One was an lovely apple green one-shoulder bridesmaid dress that got me thinking — this is a GREAT color to share! And I have discovered so many colors that look beautiful paired with it… But first, let’s explore apple green itself… www.sweetthingsbyfi.com www.zazzle.com Now this cake is just too fun…and I’ve got a photo from…

From a WY Bride: COLOR INSPIRATION — Silk Blue & Plum
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE: www.wyomingweddingsonline.com WOW! A Wyoming bride shared that her & her fiance’s upcoming wedding will use silk blue & a dark purple for their colors. I must admit I was naive about the term ‘silk blue’ — she replied that silk blue is also called ‘ice blue’, but I have to say that the term ‘silk’ used with any color is sheer brilliance! Talk about adding the element of not only texture, but LUXURIOUS texture to a color description… And when it comes to your wedding, adding texture and a touch of luxury is never a bad thing… Bravo! And thanks for the color inspiration from…

COLOR INSPIRATION: Raspberry!
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE: www.wyomingweddingsonline.com I do enjoy an elegant black & white wedding, but OH BOY do I adore pops of bright COLOR! The trends for 2011 are leaving me feeling all warm and fuzzy, and today’s color inspiration is no different — RASPBERRY! The thing I have noticed about raspberry is that it is a color that is defined by interpretation. Some people envision close to a wine color when they think raspberry…others think of a darker shade of pink. If you wish to mix your shades of raspberry, it is potentially doable, but work wisely: sample all of your shades together, and think about how they…

Ribbon-a-licious!
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE! www.wyomingweddingsonline.com www.austinweddingblog.com Planning decorations and embellishments for a wedding is just as much about TEXTURE as it is COLOR! Smooth, shiny, glittery, crinkly, blows in the wind or maintains its shape…all of these are in our minds when planning decorations, although we rarely take time to stop and think about it. Today I’m thinking on RIBBON — a unique and fun way to add texture and color to your decorations! Above, these ribbon wands are a fun and unique twist on bubbles or bird seed — imagine your guests showering you with trails of ribbons as you pass by! And imagine how much fun the…

COLOR INSPIRATION: Cobalt Blue!
PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE! www.wyomingweddingsonline.com Ten years ago, my husband and I picked cobalt blue as one of the colors for our wedding…and I’m so excited to see that that color is popular again! So I did a little thinking on cobalt blue… Cobalt blue is a very strong and powerful color. It is rich in color and it’ll dominate the scene. So think of how you want to use it, and find elements where bold splashes of cobalt can really add drama to a scene… I adore this picture! This is a fun idea for a way to use cobalt. Bags of glass pieces, marbles, etc. can be found…
