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…

The Art of Registering — by Ashley White
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE! www.wyomingweddingsonline.com Ashley White, our newlywed blogger, is back with a hilarious look at the art of registering…and why it’s okay to know exactly what YOU want… Ashley & Gus White — Photo by Ardent Photography, Laramie What they don’t tell you about registering is that you’re supposed to take the number of guests you’re inviting, multiply that by two, and register for that many things. There we were, my then-fiancé Gus and I, kicked back in the sunken-in office just off the front doors of a home decor center; you know, the distinctly bride-friendly room, all frosted glass and scripty writing, an official-looking desk with…

Sarah’s Top Wedding Tips — THE WEDDING DAY
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE! www.wyomingweddingsonline.com Sarah Merrill of Suite Blooms is back with another set of wedding tips! Take it from someone who’s been there… Thanks Sarah for these great little nuggets of wisdom! TIP: Eat something. You are nervous, pressed for time, and have to look PERFECT, so it would make sense to skip breakfast and or lunch – right? Well maybe not. Your mind isn’t clear when you are hungry – so you are more likely to forget something – like your vows. Additionally, being hungry can make you grouchy and more prone to be impatient with your friends and family. Plan ahead and pack something simple, fresh,…

Sarah’s Top Wedding Tips — PLANNING
LINK BACK TO OUR WEBSITE! www.wyomingweddingsonline.com Sarah Merrill of SuiteBlooms in Cheyenne is back with a new topic! Read on to discover Sarah’s tips for wedding planning… TIP: Double up on your Groom’s Boutonniere. That’s right; buy 2 for him. Here’s why – boutonnieres are already prone to dehydration because they will have been out of water 5+ hours before the wedding. Couple the flowers’ dehydration with the bruising and petal loss that will occur when everyone he knows gives him a hug, and you wind up with a broken, bruised and smashed boutonniere that will make your groom look just as bad as it does. Remember that immediately following that…

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…

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…
