Monthly Trend {Choosing a color Scheme} | CHATTANOOGA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

Sunday, April 3, 2011 | love, Bridget at 2:03 PM | Labels: Trend, Trends

If you visit our event blog over at http://eventfulstar.blogspot.com you will know our latest post is about the trendy colors for spring as stated by Pantone. I think I love them!!!! lol! Here are the colors:

I wanted to go into a little more detail about choosing your colors for your wedding... I think it's safe to say the color scheme can make or break a wedding. For example if you are going for a soft romantic thing and you choose hot pink and orange ehhh that's a FAIL lol!

I have the BEST tool for you to use to help with picking out a color scheme. http://www.colorschemer.com/

You can browse through the schemes others have created or you can come up with your own. It's kind of addicting actually, but an incredibly useful tool!

Sorry this is a really short trend but I really wanted to tell you guys about the color schemer site!

Hope this helps you in deciding your main flower for your wedding. Picking your favorite flower will help guide you in building your bouquet, center pieces and other wedding decor. Note that many of these flowers are year round, but many are not. It's best to determine your flower choice after your wedding date is set as it could be expensive to get a flower that is out of season. If you do not have a flower that you love why not choose based on the meaning of the flower?

Wedding Websites Trend | CHATTANOOGA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

As we start to rely more and more on technology and the internet Wedding Websites are become more and more popular. Just think Facebook is widely popular and we post just about any and everything on there and the same with Twitter. Why not make a separate free or paid for website/blog for your wedding. It's the best way to inform your quests and wedding party of what you are doing. You can list your location, times, pictures, ideas for colors, decor and tons more in one spot. I think it is especially an easy way for you as the bride and groom to keep up with everything you are doing. Have it in one location and resort back to it wherever you have access to the internet. Beats carrying around a heavy notebook everywhere right? I've researched some great services for free websites. A lot of these companies offer very customizable sites and even things to help you with organizing and planning your wedding. How can you beat that? Below you will find some of my favorites along with sites from real people who are using these services.

New Year New Wedding Trend | CHATTANOOGA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Saturday, January 1, 2011 | love, Bridget at 1:08 PM | Labels: save the dates, Trend, Trends, Wedding Invatations

Happy New Year everyone! It is the first of the month which means we are going to be posting our trends! I am posting the Wedding trends while Maria posts Quinceanera trends.

Since it's the first of the year I decided why not start off with ideas for invites and save the dates. These days the invites aren't just your typical pretty color paper with words and or clip art. They have gotten creative, fun and a very exciting part of the wedding process. One of my favorite places to shop and one of the best places to find cute and creative invite is http://www.etsy.com and I suggest you guys all give it a look over if you haven't already.
