Mint To Be | Inspiration

I must prelude this inspiration board with a little back story behind my history with the color Mint Green. I was a dancer, and in the 5th grade we were performing the Nutcracker for our Spring Recital. Our part of the ballet, was the Waltz of the Flower. Well, when I found out that we would be choosing the color we wore with our partner, out of a hat, I knew my bad luck would ultimately win. I was chosen last out of that hat, and forced to wear the fluffiest Mint Green Tutu ever! You can bet that I never stopped talking about how I got stuck wearing the most horrible color in the entire group. 

My 5th grade feelings about the color, are quite contrary to what I feel now. Mint Green has been on the rise for some time now, and it is so fresh, so trendy. I really adore the feeling it gives off. 

In this inspiration Board, "Mint To Be," I included delicate details of ivory and variations of mint. I imagine this wedding in the summer, at a lovely garden location, full of lush florals and succulents. Here is just a little bit of that vision below! I hope you are inspired! Thanks for stopping by! :]

White Blossom Teams Up With Instagram!

If you haven't heard of it already, it is time to jump on the bandwagon! "Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your photos with friends and family." This app was originally only available to iPhone users. However, just this past week, Instrgram became available to Android users, as well. The app is free to download, and I guarantee you will be hooked! I was! :] Just snap a picture, choose a filter, and Viola! People are able to follow you, like your photos...etc. There are also photo sharing options! (For all of you Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr lovers out there!) I assure you they are not paying me to talk up their product! ;]

I encourage you to, if you haven't already, download the app! Then go follow us at "whiteblossomweddings" We would love your support, but more importantly we would love to give you a sneak peak of all the weddings and events we partake in! It's like having a VIP pass, with live coverage of our events! :] I will give you a brief sneak peak of what we posted last weekend! We were blessed with two beautiful couples, and two beautiful weddings! Enjoy this preview!

Guestbooks Galore!

Brides, let's be real. If your Guestbook looks like this, then we have a problem! Gone are the days of the tulle & lace covered guestbook from the 80's that you sign only your name in; we have moved on to much greater things in the world! Thank goodness! :]

Wedding guestbooks have become more of a keepsake for couples as opposed to their former role as just dust-collectors in the attic. Also, guestbooks are becoming more of a project. There is more thought going into the ideas behind the guestbook, and what kind of presentation it will have. Nothing makes us happier than to see fresh, new ideas! So I will present you with a few that are fun & creative, but as always I encourage you to think outside the box when it comes to your big day! 

(Descriptions below from Top Left, to Bottom Right)

Some of the ideas that we love included above:

1. Signing a wine bottle

2.Wishing Tree, best wishes for the newlyweds

3. Individuals Mini-Envelopes on the book pages 

for little notes from the guests

4. Signing a vase

5. Sharing "what love means to you"

6. Guests find & sign on their birthday in a calendar- 

GREAT for your first year of marriage!

7. Snap a Picture, paste & sign! 

8. The Thumbprint guestbook

9. Sign a wooden bench

These are all great ideas! 

Be inspired, and have a wonderful day! Love, WB.

Color, Color, Color

It is always so interesting to see how couples incorporate their wedding colors into the designs of their special day. When we say the outcome of possibilities is endless, we surely mean it! 

The Wedding Industry is constantly changing and introducing new, upcoming trends. One of the trends over the past couple of years has been introducing color! I'm not saying your mother or grandmother did not have a color palette for their day, I'm saying we are bringing color to weddings in a whole new way! And it is so exciting!

Colored Crinolines

Believe it or not, you can do this at home! (With any shade of Rit dye)

So, what do we love about this trend? It's daring. It says a lot about the bride's personality, it makes a statement, and of coarse, it is versatile. Colored crinolines can be used under the wedding gown, bridesmaids, flower girls, or even under a fun reception dress...etc. 

Colored Belts/Accessories

Say goodbye to the boring silver and gold, and hello, to the lovely colors!

Etsy.com is the best place to find some of the most colorful, unique bridal belts and sashes. Khloe Kardashian was even wearing color on her wedding gown in a sash!

Again, if you want to do a more traditional look for the ceremony, you can still do a fun, colorful accessory for the party!

OMG, shoes! (& socks!)

Detailed shots taken by your photographer typically capture the little details that not all of your guests are attuned to, like shoes!

Your Groom and his Groomsmen can coordinate their socks to match the wedding colors! This is a fun trend, that always makes for perfect pictures!

Chances are if you go for a bold, colorful shoe for your wedding day, people won't forget. 

It sure beats having a pair of drab ivory heels in your closet that you'll probably never think twice about wearing again.

These are certainly not all you can do in the incorporation of color in your wedding, but hopefully this colorful inspiration 

will help get your wheels turning! 

Last but not least, don't afraid to be bold; it's supposed to be the best day of your life, you want others to remember it too!
