Black & White Wedding Fascination

I'm fascinated with the new trend of black and white color scheme that have hit the wedding scene.  It's fascinating because it's not just about the typical solid black and white or overly frilly look.  It's about incorporating textures and patterns such as romantic paisleys and damasks, lively polka dots, and striking abstract floral designs which exudes a mood of modern romantic charm.

Here are a few inspirations from WildFlower Linen that I think captures the essence of the modern black and white wedding color scheme.

These elegant white and black paisley champagne flutes from Eddies Hand Painted Things would be the perfect complement to a modern black and white wedding color scheme.

Share your views on the modern black and white wedding.

Bridal Show Review

Paws

I had a great day on Sunday at the Princess and Paws Bridal Extravaganza hosted at the beautiful Tennis Club in Poughkeepsie NY by Cinderella4aday.  It was a first for me and it did not disappoint.  It was filled with fun, excitement, and great food by Cosimo's Catering.  The fashion show was a hit especially with the 'paws'.  I established positive connections with other vendors and walked away with a few good leads. Now that's a day well spent.

Expression Stemware Too Part 2

Last week I shared some new hand painted expression stemware designs with you.  This week I have two old gals with a new twist - Lady Tiger and Princess Daisy. Lady tiger sports a new tiger print design on it's base an golden swirls on the lily. Princess Daisy had a color change with pink, black and silver and a black base which sports a princess crown.


Lady Tiger - The tiger lily is a true stand out, a spectacular bloom that signifies 'wealth and pride'. Make a statement get one for you or a friend. It will continue to bloom long after the real tiger lily fades.

Princess Daisy - Innocence, purity, and a love that conquers all, that's 'Princess Daisy'. This is a gift for the one seen as a princess; also a great 5th anniversary gift.

Expression Stemware Too

You my most ardent followers know that most of my designs are are floral centric and that I've posted an article on expression stemware before.  Those designs were totally about the flower - Lady Tiger which is a tiger lilly, Rosy Intentions which is a rose etc.  Well I have created some fresh new designs with flowers of course but they also depict character traits on the base of the glass.  In other words the stemware is about expression too.

I designed these stemware to give the bride the option of matching bridemaids gifts to their personalities or habits. The bride can match a favorite flower along with a personality to her bridesmaid, each stemware can be different to match the personalities of the entire bridal party.
They also make great girlfriend gifts.  Take a look!
