spring is finally here, well sort of. if you are planning an Easter weekend to early spring wedding, here are some fabulous colors to embrace throughout your theme. This wedding screams spring with touches of victorian decor. Absolutely fabulous!

Tip: when using many different colors, us them wisely. you don't want your reception to look like the circus. choose colors that compliment each other and be consistent with certain things, like calligraphy, stationary, napkins, and silverware...

trying to figure out what to do with your initials??? here are some creative ideas that don't require much work. the hard part is figuring out where to put these letters... find a place that is bare and needs some extra flare. here we have two places: one is hanging on the entrance of the reception door and the other is on the guest table.

how stunning is this color scheme. if your looking for something that will wow your guests, choose a dark color paired with something bright and exciting. in this assortment of colors, black and yellow make a huge statement. Choosing a theme doesn't mean you have to have an explicit icon blasted on every napkin or card... this statement lets the guests use their imagination as to what the theme might represent (maybe bumble bees)???

Tip: a good way to fill up space on a table without having to pay an enormous amount of money on flower arrangements, is to use lots of glass wear. maybe add some stems here and there. this look makes a room shout modern and sleek!
