There is nothing more classic than a pure white palette for a wedding. I’m a big fan of playing with proportion and textures in order to make a classic white wedding more contemporary.

A bunch of white hydrangea is always pretty and timeless.

I love when a bride and groom have fun posing with their getaway transporation. Here again, is another place to add a personal touch to your wedding day…

Hot vintage sportscar and a hot couple, need I say more?

Baby blue bike and a just married sign, such a lovely detail.

Fun couple + Vespa = one of a kind photo

A tandem bike? Even better!

I love the deep jewel tones of peacock feathers. And used in a subtle way, it could be the perfect element to bring your wedding’s design together.

I love how this hair piece uses the peacock feathers with a tiny cluster of crystals at the base.

For bridesmaid’s dresses you could use aqua and deep blue colors from the peacock feather.

For a clutch, this peacock print bag is perfect.

What’s better than one pair of hot shoes? How about 5 pairs?

Pink flowers are so soft and romantic, and are the perfect accent to a garden wedding.

I love this bouquet with three different types of roses.

For this poesy, the florist wired together pink cymbidium petals to create a large “flower” called a composite.

I love the simple footed white vase against the different shades of pink flowers.

This arrangement features only one large pink dahlia, but the crocheted cozy around the simple glass vase creates such an interesting and pretty texture.

I love the subtle contrast of the pink cymbiums of this bouquet paired with deeper jewel tones and the subtle purple accents.

Another major wedding website, Weddingbee, has just been bought by EHarmony. You can read the full post here. Thoughts?

Signature drinks at weddings are a great way to welcome guests and provide a pop of color and interest at the bar. Best of all, coupled with serving wine and beer, it can help keep your alcohol bill under control.

To me, a signature drink does not need to be a new drink, but rather it should be a favorite drink of the couple. The best way to make your signature drink memorable is is to pay attention to presentation.

I like to have a good 20 drinks setup on a separate table from the bar or tray passed. This helps prevent a long line at the bar (one of my biggest pet-peeves), and all the drinks lined up with their beautiful garnish is just so pretty. Make sure your caterer gets the drinks set them up a little before guests arrive so your photographer can get a shot of them.

All signature drinks don’t have to be alcoholic. Refreshing cucumber water or a great lemonade are perfect for a pre-ceremony welcome drink.

So have fun creating something personal and refreshing for your guests to enjoy at your wedding.

I love the tradition of a wedding cake, but I also like to mix it up a bit and offer guests a variety of sweets at a wedding.

How can anyone go wrong with ice cream? Tray passed to the dance floor in traditional sugar cones, your guests won’t be able to say no.

To finish a traditional Italian feast, biscotti and espresso would be the perfect ending.

An individual serving of chocolate mousse? Yes, please.

Decadent cheesecake, creamy and delicious.
