Inspire Me – Smitten by Bows

Bows aren’t just for little girls anymore. They can be adorable, but when it comes to weddings, they can also be very romantic. With bows being an elegant addition to an event, there are many ways to incorporate this sweet detail to your wedding. Your gown, the cake, the invitations, and your shoes are just some of the things you can find that are embellished with bows.

Hot Wedding Trend – Ombré

One of the prettiest trends this wedding season is ombré. Ombré is a French term meaning “shaded”, and it is typically seen as a multicolored stripe with colors graduating from light to dark. Ombré creates a beautiful effect you see when colors or tones gradually fade into each other.
