INSPIRED BY | FLOWERS

This week we're all about flowers, a wedding essential! A wedding without flowers is like vows without an "I do" …well not exactly, but they are one of our favorite things. We're always so inspired by our couples' floral choices and how they integrate their style into their bouquets. Some are chic and trendy. Others are classic and traditional. No matter the decision, flowers are a focal point on your big day.

As a celebration of all things floral, we've rounded up some of our all-time favorite boutiques, prepare to fall in love with these beautiful blooms.

INSPIRED BY | ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Engagement rings are a gorgeous, personal and a lifelong accessory choice. Your ring is a beautiful opportunity to display your style as well as your commitment, but the choice can be a little daunting. Rarely do we run across a ring that wouldn’t fit a million different types of bride. Sparkle looks great on everyone! To inspire, we’ve put together some of our favorite engagement rings and wedding band sets. They have different settings, colors and carat size, but they're all beyond swoon-worthy. Think of this as just a taste of our dream Celebrate Dallas “Bling” board. These beauties are nothing short of pinnable.

2020 PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR: CLASSIC BLUE

The Pantone Color of the Year dropped last week and we want to talk about it! Last Wednesday we waited with bated breath on Pantone's Instagram post announcing 2020s Color of the Year. They teased a few snaps of a gorgeous sunset and we were convinced that the COTY might be an Orange Blossom, a Ruby Red, or Bold Fuchsia so when Classic Blue was announced we were a little… underwhelmed. Blue is a beautiful color both in and outside of wedding design, but being lovers or all things extra we expected something a little more dynamic. I headed over the Pantone's blog for more insight on the choice. They described Classic Blue as:

Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.

- Pantone

And that's when we got it; calm, confident, and dependable though not always top of mind when dreaming up wedding color palettes, are some of the most important components to planning a wedding and a life with your boo. While going through our gorgeous wedding archives, we found so many past weddings that'd used blue to compliment their wedding style. Each exuded elegance, style, and understated beauty. Classic Blue, it took us a second, but we're into you.

If you’re into Classic Blue too, we’ve put together a few complementary color palettes plus inspiration from some of our own wedding’s Classic Blue moments. Enjoy!

INSPIRED BY | WEDDING VEILS

Veils are a beautiful addition to your wedding day ensemble, dresses are gorgeous, but veils are effortlessly classic and we can’t get enough of the drama they create. Whether they’re long and flowy following you down the aisle or vintage birdcages accentuating your eclectic style, we’re here for them all.

Originally worn to symbolize modesty and reverence, today’s veils have evolved into an art and can be customized in nearly any way you can think of. Historically most brides wore long traditional veils that covered their faces and trailed behind them, but according to Martha Stewart the most popular veils types today are:

1. Birdcage: Chic, dainty, and out of the box

2. Blusher: Hits at the bust, typically worn over the face while walking down the aisle

3. Mantilla: Regal and trimmed in lace

4. Tiered: Layered and dramatic look

5. Fingertip: Present, but still lets the dress do the talking

6. Ballerina: The most common veil type

7. Cathedral: Watch your step because this baby is loooooong

8. Elbow: Enhances (or helps create) an hourglass figure

But, wedding veils aren’t just fashion statements, they’re also gorgeous props. When we get pictures back from photographers we can’t wait to see veils swept up in the wind or draped over the couple. They’re always fun and give photographers a creative alternative to traditional walking and kissing shots (of course those are lovely too!). We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite veil pictures for some inspiration, but even if you’re not planning on wearing a veil, stick around and feast your eyes on these beauties!
