FUN WITH THEMES: French Provencal
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE: www.wyomingweddingsonline.com Playing with a fun theme today… French Provencal! A combination of rustic elegance and French details, a little touch of countryside, fruits, wine, cheese…earthy wood tones and elegant lace can combine perfectly! This theme can become pricey quickly, however the feel of Provence can be achieved with inexpensive components too. Use reusable items such as wood cutting boards or pieces of wood in your decorations; scraps of lace to peak out from underneath food trays and cake displays… green glass bottles, white pottery and strands of prairie grass and olives… and other items that you use every day can be collected and incorporated into…

We Love Elizabeth Taylor — The Quintessential Bride…
MGM Productions — 1950 If you haven’t seen the 1950 production of Father of the Bride starring Elizabeth Taylor, you must! It is a charming movie, to say the least. The 1991 version was always a favorite of mine growing up, and when I discovered the 1950 version a few years back, my husband and I had to stay up half the night to watch it. The movie was a hit, with Elizabeth’s dress reportedly designed by Helen Rose, influencing bridal gown trends in the early 50’s. http://pasttrends.fuzzylizzie.com/hollywood.html The world said good-bye to an icon of American cinema, and she will be missed…but her memory lives on in her many…

Give Your Fans a…FAN!
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE! www.wyomingweddingsonline.com Clever, no? OK, more like cheesy. Yes, agreed. 🙂 Obviously your guests are more than just GUESTS, they’re your biggest cheerleaders in life: your friends, family, former teachers and coaches and Girl Scout cookie-selling buddies and teammates and co-workers. People came for more than a free meal — they came to support you! So I thought that the idea of FANS for programs was not only AWESOME, it was very ironic! Talk about multi-tasking brilliance: inform your fans of the program, give them some entertainment, AND keep them cool all at once! I am a HUGE fan of multi-tasking — I prescribe by Alton…

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…
