Red is a choice color for your bridesmaids, emphasizing their beauty without distracting from the bride. Material like silk is a good option for bridesmaids because it will keep their dress style simple, but still look pretty and elegant. This will keep your bridesmaids looking fresh while you still get all the attention a bride deserves!
Stripping down doesn't mean sacrificing your elegance. When you remove your dress at the end of the night, your spouse will be in awe when they see that your skivvies are just as smooth and flawless as your gown!
One of the great things about working with red and black is that you can still use things like beautiful dresses and flowers without feeling too girly. You can easily make your cake reflect your personality, and fondant is a great way to color it the way you want. Little splashes of color (as opposed to a whole red cake) can really tie it together. And with colored fondant, you can have any flavor you want under there!
This hotel is called the Raj Palace. Its beautiful orange and gold interior mixed with the unique rounded and peaked architecture will inspire a sense of royalty, extravagance and beauty unlike you've ever seen.
Finding an appealing, orange dress isn't an easy task - so think outside the traditional Western wedding realm and go for something a little more fun and Eastern. A dress like this maintains a sense of tradition with a positive twist of beauty and sense of royalty. Since this dress can go with gold, white or diamonds, it makes it ideal as a wedding dress to go along with the theme of your choice.
The theme may be honeysuckle, but
you're going to want a more hearty flower to be the base of your bouquet. White and yellow roses are excellent choices and
never go out of fashion. Since you want your wedding to
mean something, roses are a good choice because they represent
love and kindness. After you have your base, the rest of the bouquet can be filled in with daisies, traditional white filler, and even lace. And, of course, honeysuckle, for that
beautiful Spring scent!
"...the rest of the bouquet can be filled in with...honeysuckle, for that beautiful Spring scent!"
The evening of the wedding is the perfect time to
show your man how beautiful you really are. Pick a
lovely gown. Choose something that you're
comfortable in. A piece that comes with a robe is a classy choice, and
leaves your guy guessing for a while.
The Electric Lemon Wedding
Zap! Pow! Bright colors for a beautiful bride, and text so bright you can't read this without a gray background! :D
Your Inspiration: Lemons!
This build isn't for the weak, and you might not be able to see straight for a few days after the wedding. You want a color
so bright it will set off fire alarms, a color
so bold that sporting good stores want to manufacture your dress into a more effective hunting vest.
"...a color so bright it will set off fire alarms..."
You've never been a scaredy cat when it comes to fashion. You were the girl in high school with the
crazy hair - the one who
wasn't afraid to mix
insane patterns. Now, you're bringing the same
bravery to your wedding. A simple dress with a classic style is great for
bright, vibrant colors because it emphasizes just how
wild the color is. A traditional dress style applies nicely to neons and true colors because there's no questioning where the focus of the dress is; clearly, the focus is the fact that it's
bright freaking yellow!
If you've always been drawn to
neon yellow, then a ring like this is perfect for you. You don't need traditional diamonds to feel
classy. Entrust the
wild child inside of you with your matrimonial accessories - when it comes to your ring,
get something that you really enjoy looking at!
If your dress is white, then the bridesmaids can pull off the yellow theme. You'll still look great and your wedding will be just as
bright and shocking as ever. Things like
red lipstick or bright pink shoes look awesome with neon yellow, and simple white bouquets keep a good balance between all the bright colors around you.
Since your wedding is lemon-themed, then it stands to reason that you should have a lemon cake! Let your guests know it's lemon by ordering round or yellow designs on the white fondant. Or better yet, decorate the platter or top of the cake with actual lemons. Serve with lemonade, and voila!
Your table has the potential to look amazing with a few, simple decorations. First, get a white base to keep the yellow balanced. Then...balloons! Balloons everywhere! Next, set out treats to keep up the edible, sweet & sour theme. Candy is a great addition to your table. Try things like lemon balls or sugar cookies so that everyone gets a taste that they like. Glassware is great, but in this case, simple, white dishes look incredible and keep up the theme.
Putting together a good bouquet is going to be a little difficult for one reason: depending on the weather, certain flowers are going to be more in season than others. Yellow and white flowers are among the most common, but your wedding is so bright that you'll need to find the whitest of the whites and yellowest of the yellows. A good bet would be to take your favorite flowers -any flowers in the world- and spray-paint them neon yellow and white. This way, you get what you want and you don't have to worry about the flowers looking as bright as they are fresh. Also, you can add any fake filler you want, like lace or actual lemons!
The wedding was the start, but the night of your wedding is just the beginning of the fun! Find something that you can have a great time in. Try something bright, or a new fashion that'll leave your lover wanting more. Be brave on the night of your wedding, a night so fun and amazing that it will be hard to match!
Why should he choose yellow?
Yellow is a
fantastic color for both genders. Because of its prevalence in nature, its a common color that
looks good just about anywhere! Especially weddings! Yellow changes depending on how you wear it. If it's worn with a black tux, it will look
brighter; with a white tux, it will look
paler. And with a gray tux, it will look more
sunny and warm. All of these are great choices, however. Yellow can also be worn with colors like navy, burgundy or dark green. It's a neutral color, and splashes of yellow are a
charming option for any groom, especially for outdoor or
brightly lit ceremonies.
The Dryad Wedding
Making whimsy and nature part of your unforgettable ceremony
Your Inspiration: White Cactus Blossoms
If you've always had a
closeness to the earth and a fondness of nature, than you wouldn't want any other build. The Dryad Wedding takes the natural beauty of Mother Earth and employs it in a princess-like wedding style.
The first step to having a
natural and beautiful wedding is finding a dress that you look great in. Make sure it's a fabric that you love - some websites offer dresses made of recycled fabric, or you can find a used dress. No matter what you do, though,
don't settle. Pick a style you want in a color you want. In this case, the go-to color is
bright green because it
encompasses nature and looks fantastic with white.
If the earth and nature are an
essential part of your relationship, then get a ring to show it. Many eco-friendly consumers try to avoid diamonds, so if that's a route you want to go, keep other stones in mind. Green stones are a good way to reflect
beauty and nature together. The ring above is a great example of how you can take nature and make it into a more
traditional wedding token. If you want to take it a step farther, you can get a natural ring made of materials such as
wood or coral.
Think of the bridesmaids as your
faeries or nymphs: little
sprites there to help you feel like a princess! Green is such a wonderful color for bridesmaid dresses because bright green is
warm, but since green is a "cool" color, it leaves all eyes on the bride.
White and pink bouquets and accessories are perfect for that little splash of color your bridesmaids need.
"Think of your bridesmaids as your faeries or nymphs: little sprites there to help you feel like a princess!"
With bright green as your color, you can get really
creative with your cake! Going the more traditional route may require
fondant and green coloring. You can take this opportunity to use natural cake toppers, like grass around the platter. Little plastic
butterflies look great, too, and you can add any
natural colors while still having the cake look great! If you're vegan and did the wedding to be
100% green, you can get all soy-based products. Vanilla is a great choice for a cake like this, and you can spice it up by serving lime beverages.
Wedding decorations can get really
fun with a green wedding. Firstly,
you can use anything natural. Second, you can add
any colors you want that are found in nature, and it will look fantastic! And third, no matter what colors you use, they'll look good against white and glassware. With this color of green, you can't miss!
Your bouquet should be as pretty as your dress since you want to incorporate the
beautiful earth into your wedding. Really take the time to choose a flower that's
close to your heart. No matter what you choose, it will look excellent with its natural, green leaves. White
calla lilies or roses are a beautiful choice because they go with
small, pink filler flowers very well. They look particularly good against the green you want for your wedding. These are very soft and elegant flowers, and their natural white is the
perfect addition to your wedding.
No matter what you wear under your dress, make it
surprising! One thing you can do is choose the color of your bouquet, like a white or pink, and wear the same colors under your dress. This can symbolize the blooming of a flower...and flowers can be very
erotic and feminine things. This is also a good time to employ
soft fabrics and
pretty, floral patterns. You will surely
look as beautiful as a flower on the night of your wedding!
A Wedding For The Elves
A bright, fantasy wedding that you could only dream of!
Your Inspiration: An Elven Princess!
If you're one for
fantasy, then welcome to the perfect wedding build! Elves are known for their sense of
mystery and beauty. It's time to take that and incorporate it into a
bright and unforgettable wedding.
Your dress may end up being
the most important aspect of your wedding, because you can't rule an
elven kingdom without a leader! Since elves are known for their
connection with nature, the color will be green. But not just any green - a true,
royal green, or emerald green. This green will look good with
black lace or velvet. Try something in a
corset style. If your shoes and accessories have lace or string, they're sure to go with your dress. And don't forget a
regal hairstyle!
Having a ring with
emeralds or green stones really says something about the bride. It's a
charming color, associated with
wealth, prosperity and youth. It's also a fairly uncommon color for rings. Green looks great with
gold or silver, so either band is going to be a good choice. With a silver band, however, employing the use of diamonds is more convenient to create an
elegant charm.
The more white the dress, the more green the bridesmaids should be. Emerald is a
unique and regal color. A bride wearing this color can be contrasted by bridesmaids wearing white, black or lighter green. However, if you're clad in a more traditional white, then focus the attention to your beautiful dress by having your gals wear the green. They'll look amazing in
silk, velvet, lace or other rich fabrics, while you still get tons of
positive attention.
Green makes for an
interesting cake. The hardest part about a green cake is finding a flavor. The good news is that if you have fondant, you can do anything you want, and as it turns out, an easy way to get a green cake is with said fondant! So take advantage of this opportunity to have a
custom cake. This is a good opportunity to get a very
elegant cake that looks like it was
made for royalty. Add some
jewels or make your cake into a
treasure chest; something you'd find in a
throne room or at the
heart of a dungeon!
"...if you have fondant, you can do anything you want..."
Green isn't the easiest color to shop for. But that's why they have lights! Using
green lighting is a great idea, because you get to
decorate however you want. You can get mostly white or black decor, and using green lights will make your entire venue look like the
Emerald City! Because of the nature of the lights, this kind of wedding is best done indoors to
capture the essence of this particular green.
You're going to have quite the unique bouquet, because flowers usually aren't green -
foliage is! Take some of your favorite
leaves. Leaves that look
long, silky and elegant are perfect. Then, use
white, pink or yellow flowers to fill out the bouquet. This way, you can use beautiful flowers and the added colors of your choice while still having a mostly green-themed bouquet.
Tonight is your night to shine. Choose some lingerie that you feel
super confident in. But still make it
elegant! Something
lacy is perfect. Little green
bows or fringe give your piece that unique touch. Black is always a good idea for lingerie like this, and looks excellent with emerald. This will really
wow your new hubby! Forget being an elven princess, this will make you into an elven
goddess!
Why should he choose green?
Green is a
great color for your new hubby! Because green is a natural color, it's seen as
gender-neutral. Some greens are more masculine than others. Typically, the
darker the green, the more male-oriented it will be. If your guy doesn't want to do bright green,
he'll look just as good in something darker without compromising the theme. (Generally, all greens look good together, like trees.) White and green look
splendid together, and green on top of black is
notoriously handsome. A traditional tux with green? Yes, please!
The Summer Sea Wedding
A gorgeous summer theme to go along with the sun, the beach and the sky!
Your Inspiration: Seashells, seashells, down by the shee...by the seesore...by the...agh!
The beach is a place that so many people find dear to them. Why not make it the theme for your wedding? Using beach colors is a great way to get
creative and natural!
There are two types of dresses that can work for this build (although both are recommended to be
sea-green or turquoise.) The first is a
classic wedding-style dress with a top that
hugs the torso and a
bottom with flare. However, much like a
mermaid or beautiful maiden of the sea, the dress should have
transparent aspects. Note how the above dress is revealing, but the style allows the mesh to cover the chest and sleeves. A classy build with a modern and lovely twist. The alternative is a
classic fishtail dress (the bottom hugging the legs like a pencil skirt and flaring out at the ankles or calves.)
As long as it's accompanied by a
solid, gold band, a turquoise ring is going to look
incredibly elegant. Turquoise is a
unique choice for a wedding ring and doesn't distract from the diamond or gold band. Perfect for the woman who wants something as unique as it is
sophisticated!
"Perfect for the woman who wants something as unique as it is sophisticated!"
A white dress with sea green or tuquoise colored bridesmaids is a
home run! Throw in some colors like
beige or coral and a few sunflowers, and your girls are going to look
unbelievably beautiful. Because this is such a
bright, summer build, an
outdoor wedding and photos are a good idea.
Break out that fondant! Sea green, turquoise, teal...not the first color you'd think of when it comes to a wedding cake. If you want your cake to be mostly the blue-green of your choice, then keep the cake simple. A few white or
sea-oriented decorations will make the simple, greenish cake pop without looking crazy. However,
the lighter the cake, the more you can do. A coral or beige colored cake would call for more greenish or blueish decorations. Don't be afraid to add some
seashells or cute decorations!
Most colors go well with glassware or crystalware, but
this is a unique build for a unique bride: it's time to bust out the china. Something
gilded, coral or porcelain is perfect. Anything that is
ceramic will be a beautiful addition to your table. Along with lightly colored cloth, add some lace.
Pink is also a wonderful color, and
splashes of lighter green or darker blue will make your true theme color pop.
Natural, outdoor lighting is best with this build.
This bouquet is brought to you by the handy-dandy glue gun! Since this is a
summer wedding, choose a flower you like, make it fake, and it won't wilt in the
bright sunshine of your outdoor wedding! The fun part about this bouquet is adding the accessories. This is a sea wedding -
so why not add some seashells! Tie everything together with fake filler flower, feathers or pearls.
You know the scene in The Little Mermaid where Ariel flings her hair back and perches on top of that rock in the sea? Think of that when you're choosing your lingerie. Beautiful, confident, sophisticated, fun. That's your game tonight! Get a top that really shows off your high-end assets, and a bottom that squeezes your hips. These are natural features that your guy is going to love once he sees you on your wedding night!
"Beautiful, confident, sophisticated, fun. That's your game tonight!"
Black-And-White And Blue-All Over
Classic black-and-white with a modern twist!
Your Inspiration: Teal on Black! Beautiful!
Teal on black became a
popular color combination during the start of the 21st century. It works in a lot of different pop culture cliques. It can be a girly color, a nerdy color, punky, trendy, hip...
it works just about anywhere! This is a rather modern color combo (not that it's unheard of) and makes for a
spectacular, cool wedding.
Teal is best worn
femininely and elegantly. Try aiming for
silk when you choose the material for your dress, although
lace is also a plus.
Mesh is a good addition to a teal dress, especially when that mesh is black. Intricate details, like the black flowers and feathers on the dress above, are essential with this color combo because teal is such a cool, stagnant color. A bit of black to
spice things up makes for
gorgeous designs. Black and teal are also reversible colors; teal on black, black on teal...both work just as well!
The ring you're looking for is probably going to be a bluer turquoise. To stray away from the more classic turquoise style, go with the silver (or white gold or platinum) band instead of a more common gold band. Also, scratch the diamonds and
get a big, turquoise stone! Jade is also a good substitute. You can get a ring with these rocks without the need for diamonds and still make the ring just as
intricate.
Teal and black are
fantastic colors for bridesmaid dresses because they're cool colors. Cool colors, when accompanying a white wedding dress, are
fantasmic! All eyes remained focused on the bride. Your gals will still look great, too, sporting a
classy and chic look unlike any other.
Teal and black are very
clean colors. For your cake,
simple is best. A thin layer of crisply cut fondant is good for unique cake colors like black or teal. Using white will balance out the heaviness of the colors. As seen above, the black is on the bottom of each tier. Leaving the white on top (cut off by that cool teal strip) is the perfect choice because the cake doesn't look too top-heavy and still maintains the thematic colors.
The wedding band is silver, and black and teal are the dominant colors, but believe it or not, your venue is going to look best in
yellow, indoor lighting. The reason for this is because black and teal don't sit well against trees. They're very royal colors, therefore, look better indoors. Notice the bricks in the walls - like a
castle. This works with the
elegant, silk-like theme. The yellow lighting looks good because the color set is very cold; yellow lights will
brighten the entire place up and contrast well against your theme colors without making them look any colder. Now, your venue will look
warm and inviting. As far as tableware goes, crystal is gorgeous, although white is a good addition to black and teal.
Teal isn't really a color for flowers, so it's time to employ fake material. Of course, you can always start with a
real-flower base. The more neutral the color of the base flower, the
crazier you can get with decorations and filler.
White roses are perfect, because you can use things like
black lace, beads, or teal ribbon to decorate the rest of the bouquet with. A black holster and white flowers will make sure your bouquet doesn't look top-heavy, which can be a concern with black weddings.
"The more neutral the color of the base flower, the crazier you can get with decorations and filler."
Lace is going to be your best friend tonight. Since these colors are so elegant, use that to your advantage. Lingerie like this is perfect because it's
revealing, but still leaves something to be
desired. It has a sense of
mystery to it. A piece like this will inspire a
passionate night and lots of skin-to-skin contact!
Why should he choose blue-green?
Blue/green colors are the
perfect gender neutral colors. Which gender they suit all depends on the
style of the piece and not so much the color. Because this is the case,
men can pull off the color just as well as any woman. While a woman is going to look just as
elegant as she would in pink if she uses a bit of lace and has the right slit, a man is going to look
devilishly handsome in a black tuxedo and teal tie. Blues and greens go well with black and white alike. Grays, however can blend in too much with bluer colors, so be careful there! Wearing white with these colors is going to look softer (think of snow) while a black suit will look colder (more like a storm.) These colors can be
bold, mysterious and handsome.
The Cinderella Wedding
Today is all about bippity-boppity-you!
Your Inspiration: Cinderella
Every little girl wants to be a
Disney Princess...why wait any longer? Your wedding is the perfect time to take hold of your
childhood dream and make it a
beautiful and unforgettable reality, Prince Charming and all!
"Every little girl wants to be a Disney Princess..."
You can't have a Cinderella wedding without the classic Cinderella
ball gown. Cinderella's ball gown already had a wedding style flare to the bottom, complete with
lovely corset top. Although Cinderella's dress had shoulders, you can use a more modern technique and get a
strapless gown. Elbow-length gloves will make for a more
true Disney feel. As long as the dress is light blue, has a form-fitting top and flares at the waist,
you're going to look like Cinderella. Make sure you have an elegant hairstyle that goes with the flow of your gown...and seriously consider whether you should get
glass slippers!
Light blue is a
gorgeous color for a wedding ring! A gold band might not look great with light blue, but you can't miss with
silver and diamonds. A ring like this can be completely decked out in ice, or have one or two simple stones and either way, it's going to look
feminine and elegant. Perfect for Cinderella on her wedding day!
I know you have a thing against evil step sisters, but now isn't the time for vengeance on womankind! Make your bridesmaids look
beautiful in baby blue! Going with a traditional white dress is a good opporutunity for your girls to wear blue instead of you. But if you're stuck on the idea of wearing the Cinderella dress, then there are alternatives. The girls can still wear blue, but wear more
cropped, simple dresses so that the focus on your dress style (and its
epic poofiness) leaves all eyes on you. White and other pastels (like yellow and pink) can also be used for dresses, accessories or flowers for the bridesmaids.
Since blue isn't a traditional color for a cake,
fondant should be used in vast quantities. Since this is clearly the wedding for a princess, take this time to
design a cake that's fit for one. Beautiful designs are a must. If you have
elegant designs on a simplistic tiered cake, there isn't much need for gaudy accessories. And vanilla is the perfect flavor for these colors!
Light blue table decorations is going to mean
crystal ware. If you'd rather stick with white, porcelain or china, try something
lined with silver and painted with pastels. White and silver will carry your table decorations to
victory with this build. And while you're at it, maybe you should procure a pumpkin to dress up like a carriage?
Just because you have blue as a color doesn't excuse you from not using
beautiful roses! Roses are among the most
lovely, elegant flowers in the world. They're
timeless and romantic. A bouquet with fake roses is perfect. You can also use entirely real, white roses, and decorate the bouquet with baby blue. In this case, don't underestimate the power of sequence and sparkles!
"...don't underestimate the power of sequence and sparkles!"
Light blue is an excellent color that
encompasses your femininity. Depending on your body type, make your night gown more or less flowing. For longer legs, try a
fuller piece with a longer train. For a shorter torso, get something with a
high slit near the waist to emphasize the shape of your body. Higher breasts will require a higher bust, and a longer torso or fuller breasts will have a deeper V shape.
The Glorious Morning Wedding
A shocking and elegant electric feel to fuel an unforgettable wedding!
Your Inspiration: The Royal Blue Morning Glory
When you're planning for this wedding, think of the most
brilliant, blue morning glory you can! A
royal, blue flower with a
bright center. That's who you are:
bright on the inside and elegant on the outside.
If you choose your color right, blue can be just as
extravagant as purple. The color you want is a step down from true blue and a step up from midnight. This is
royal blue. A corset top with a long, flowing train or bustle is perfect in this instance.
Think French royalty. You aren't a princess; you're
the queen! Silver or white lining and
embroidery will give your dress that
spectacular air of status that's perfect for your special day.
"You aren't a princess; you're the queen!"
When it comes down to the ring, think
big, bold and beautiful. A ring like this can be pricey, but if you want this wedding then money isn't your concern - it's
sophistication. Dark blue signifies
wisdom, beauty and love. Couple that with amazing diamonds, and you're going to have one
amazing ring.
If the queen wants to wear white, then leave the blue up to the ladies of the court! Since blue is a cool color, more focus is brought to the white that is the bride's dress. The same can be said for a blue dress with white bridesmaids.
Blue cake almost always requires fondant.
Fondant is elegant though, so this isn't a bad thing. With fondant, you can get the
royal, blue color you want for the candied flowers and make a beautiful, white cake with intricate designs most
suitable for the royal palace!
If you're going to dress like a queen, then you need a hall
fit for royalty! Don't hesitate to bust out the
ruffles, curtains and fringes! Instead of a simple white tablecloth, give it some layers. Decorate with
decadent dishes and tableware. China is a good call, and both gold and silver lining look great with the dishes.
There are a few lovely flowers to keep in mind for your bouquet...and surprisingly, all are naturally this blue!
Morning glories are the perfect color, but wilt quickly. If you can manage to preserve them for the wedding, then they'd be great.
Hydrangeas, pansies and hyacinths are also good for a royal bouquet. Because the color is so rich, you don't need a lot of giant flowers. If you want to go the route of big flowers, though, try
white roses. They're simple and large, and can be cut with small, blue flowers.
Think of a beautiful, luxurious evening. What would you wear to impress your new hubby? If you're the queen, then treat him like a king. Get something appealing to him that you feel beautiful wearing. Lace and fringe are a must, and something like a matching garter or hair piece make for a well put-together outfit.
"If you're the queen, then treat him like a king."
Why should he choose blue?
Blue can be a classic male color. It's dark, handsome and even a little mysterious in the right tones. A navy suit can be very charming. A traditional tux with a hint of blue is also a good thing. Blue looks good on just about anyone, and no matter the tone or hue, it can be gender neutral and handsome.
Luxurious Lavender
Aristocratic and aromatic!
Your inspiration: Lavender
Lavender is a classically aromatic flower. It's used in countless perfumes, shampoos and scents. The smell of lavender is
fragrant and feminine - the perfect inspiration for this wedding.
This is a good wedding for tall gals! Think of a stalk of lavender. It's
long, layered and elegant while still being rather
simplistic. This fishtail wedding dress is a great example. Without the fringe at the bottom or the tapered bow, the dress might be a bit bland. But the various
unique cuts of the dress give it
flavor. For your wedding, find something
form-fitting and flowing.
A purple ring is really
something to talk about! Especially lavender - what a
unique and charming color! A silver band and a few diamonds are the perfect accessories to a lavender-colored ring.
Amethyst is a good bet for the stone. Purple represents
wisdom, sacrifice and mystery while the lightness of the hue typically
emphasizes femininity.
The nice thing about lavender is that it
naturally goes with white. If you choose a traditional, white dress, then your bridesmaids can wear the thematic lavender color. Lavender comes in quite a few different shades - some
cooler and others having a touch of
warm red undertones. Luckily, these colors go well together so you can have a
layered look to an entire wedding ceremony and not just individual dresses or objects!
There is one scent (and flavor) that always goes well with lavender:
vanilla! Since purple isn't really a food color (save a couple fruits,) an entire lavender cake might seem overwhelming. However, a white cake with splashes of purple decorations will come off as
lovely and unique...and almost certainly vanilla, although with fondant, you can have any flavor!
The unique thing about this wedding is that you're taking a color and using
warm and cool versions. Since purple is a combination of blue (a cool color) and red (a warm color,) you can employ both, or lean one way or the other. White is a good bet for dishes, although glassware is pretty, too. And with lavender, you can't overuse white.
"...with lavender, you can't overuse white."
Lavender is such a soft color, one that when used right, will make your skin glow. With a color as unique and sweet as this, you don't need to overcompensate with lace or ribbons. Choose something you feel comfortable in, something smooth and soft. The above lingerie is simple and pretty, and shows off the warmth of the woman's skin tone...which is exactly how you pull off a color like this!
Bam! Black Tulips!
A little crazy, a little sexy...a lotta gorgeous!
Your Inspiration: Elegant, Black Tulips
You're the kind of girl who grew up liking dolls and makeup...but not the same way that everyone else did. You were always a little
darker. This build will
accent all your best features while not making you settle for something overly pink or sparkly.
Your dress is going to be beautiful...and even a little
artistic! This works best with curvy women with a
classic hourglass figure. Firstly, icksnay on the apstrays! This is a
sensual build, and showing off your shoulders is key. If you have the type of bust that doesn't like to support a strapless, then spaghetti straps or off-the-shoulder straps are good alternatives. Either way,
show off your shoulders, girl! A l
acy, fishtail dress is perfect because it has an elegant style and shows off your top and bottom curves. With a more simple dress, add accessories like bows or trim.
"Icksnay on the apstrays!"
Purple means
art, mystery and creativity...perfect for the girl who can
create beauty from anything. Purple rings can be very
individualistic.
Amethyst and garnet stones are lovely embedded in silver. For a more traditional ring, diamonds can also be set alongside the purple stones.
Shoulders! More shoulders, dang it! Think of yourself as being in the center of a stage whereas your bridesmaids are the theater's curtains. Celebrate your girls by giving them elegant, shoulderless dresses. If they're wearing more purple than you, then they can wear white accessories for balance. But if you're the one wearing the purple, your bridesmaids can always wear black with purple accessories.
An overly purple cake can come off as too much. A good cake strategy is to use bridal white and line it with the color of your choice. With blacks and purples, you're at risk of having a top-heavy cake, so make sure that the purple is on the bottom. If you have purple or black on the bottom, you can do virtually anything with the top. Dark purple may indicate that you have a chocolate cake - something rich and tasty! For a more shocking, creative technique, make the inside red velvet!
When it comes to your venue,
warm, indoor lighting is best. A beige, white or coral room with yellow lighting will be
warm and inviting while allowing you to use the dark colors you love so much. Black furniture is
unique and clean, so that's always a plus. The type of dishes you use should depend on how fancy you want the wedding to be. For a more simplistic wedding, black and white are great colors with simple glassware. If you want something crazy-fancy, then try silver chalices and platters.
Black tulips aren't actually black - they're dark purple. A bouquet of black tulips by themselves is a
unique and beautiful thing. You can get some white, non-flower filler, or a little white and black lace/ribbons to tie the bouquet together. Because of the
richness of the texture of the flowers, a lot of filler and decoration isn't necessary; these flowers are beautiful alone.
Pale and dark skin look wonderful against deep purple. The best way to go about procuring purple lingerie is choosing a simple style in an
elegant pattern. The
girly baby-doll top and panties are a classic style, however, this one is covered in ribbons and lace to give it that
spectacularly feminine edge!
"...a simple style in an elegant pattern."
Why should he choose purple?
Purple is a
dark, mysterious and handsome color. It's
clean and simple while still remaining
unique in its own way. All a guy needs is a purple tie or a dyed carnation with the tux of his choice. For lighter choices, black and white tuxedos look
amazing with a dash of lavender. Darker purple looks excellent against solid black. For real, royal purple, try gray and you'll be
surprised as to how
charming it looks! Purple flowers also don't tend to have as many ruffled petals as white or pink ones, making the floral choices for men typically more tolerable.
The Rose-Quartz Ritual
Sweeter than sugar (and artificial sweeteners)
Your Inspiration: Rose-Quartz
You're the kind of girl who took home injured animals and nursed them back to health as a kid. You've always been known to be k
ind, compassionate and loving. This is how you want your marriage to be, too. The rose-quartz wedding isn't just for looks - it's a reflection of the
romance you want to
share with your new husband.
Think traditional. Then think, massive renovations! Take the first image of a gaudy 80s' wedding dress that comes to mind. Dye it
pink, cut off the shoulders, tighten the bust and
bedazzle it. Add a few
layers, maybe a train to the bottom, and there's your wedding dress -
new, improved and beautiful!
Rose quartz is a
lovely stone. It's very
feminine and beautiful - like the bride to be. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.
When you picture how you want your bridesmaids to look, think of Tamera Mowry's wedding. The star of
Sister Sister rocks this color! To her left (your right) is her twin sister, Tia, wearing the perfect bridesmaid dress. All of these dresses are
elegant, feminine and beautiful. They all emphasize the
natural curves of the women and show an appropriate amount of skin. Some are strapless, some are single-shouldered, and others cover the entire chest - you can really
let your bridesmaids customize their dresses to fit their figures with such a unique color!
"...let your bridesmaids customize their dresses to fit their figures..."
When you have frosting and cake that can be colored naturally or artificually (like red or pink frosting, etc) you don't typically need fondant. This is the exception. Fondant creates a
beautiful, moldable layer that's required of really
intricate cakes with
embossed layers. With such a girly theme, use fondant to your advantage by making your cake look like it has
lace, ruffles or ridges. Add a couple flowers and a splash of color, and you'll have one
gorgeous cake! Strawberry or vanilla are perfect flavors to accompany the light colors.
This isn't
supposed to sound bad, but it sorta does no matter how it's put: think of an old lady's house when you're decorating your table. What that means is this: bust out the gold-rimmed china, get the fancy dishes, decorate with a nice tablecloth, and make the room
vibrant and warm for all the guests. This is an easy task for someone as
compassionate as the rose-quartz bride, but when all else fails, think...what would Grandma do? With
warm lights and pink everywhere, old-school grannies got it done right!
"...when all else fails, think...what would Grandma do?"
Never underestimate the
natural beauty of roses. With the rose-quartz build, finding
delightful flowers is a must. With some other builds, specifically darker ones, fake flowers are a better bet. But this is such a
vibrant and natural color that not only should you use
real, fresh flowers...you should get the best
smelling flowers! Decorate your bouquet with a little white or beige filler on top of some pink and off-white roses and it's a home run.
Although
you're in it for the love, it doesn't hurt to be a little lustful from time to time. Get a piece of lingerie that's pretty, but even a bit
daring for your tastes. Maybe add some
high heels or cute panties to a standard baby doll top, or wear your veil during the evening
events.
Hot Pink Mayhem!
"This one's for the girls" -Shania Twain
Your Inspiration: Barbie!
You don't
have to like Barbie for this build...though admittedly, it helps. This build is for every woman who wants to not only wear pink, but
embrace it and look hot doing so!
The dress is the
key to this wedding. Since this wedding is definitely a bride's wedding, really splurge on the dress (or at least take the time to find a dress that's perfect as well as affordable.) A V-neck top will go marvelously with
puffy sleeves and
sharp jewelry (like the necklace and earrings as shown above.) The rounded V-neck and
frilly bustle are great for
curvy women. Generally with pink, you can also pull off pink makeup whereas some colors are best blended with others. It's simple: pink it up!
When you think "pink wedding ring," the first thing that comes to mind is probably a pink stone. But why not a pink band? If pink is something that you
love living with, then really
commit! Get something
unique and beautiful that you love to look at! Besides, you can plant a big, fat diamond right in the middle!
If white's more your style but you still want a
hot, smokin' wedding, then pawn off the pink to your girls. For contrast, make their dresses have one fewer ruffle for every ruffle your dress has. Since they're going to be wearing hot colors, your focus is going to be on the size and material of your dress.
Simple, strapless (or thin-strapped)
hot pink dresses work perfectly fine. For that extra touch of
girlishness, white or light pink shoes, make up and flowers work great!
Fondant, fondant, fondant! Do not
not use fondant! With fondant, you can do anything you darn well please, and if you want a pink cake, by golly you'll have a pink cake! Go
crazy, bride. Make your cake
sparkle, or plant a big, fat candy jewel at the top. Or if this is a little much, just add some hot pink edible fondant ribbon to a bridal-white cake.
"...if you want a pink cake, by golly you'll have a pink cake!"
Hot pink, unlike some colors, is good for both
indoor and outdoor venues. If the hot pink is outdoors, it looks good because pink is a natural color. Even if your pink is neon, it's going to look great against
spring or summer trees (probably not so good for the later seasons.) Indoors, try decorating primarily with white and
lighting the room ablaze with colored lighting. Then, glitterfy everything! Glassware is good for tables, and so is anything white and silky.
There are a few flowers that naturally come in hot pink (otherwise, spray paint and glitter work great.)
Carnations and roses are a must. Many stores will also
dye pink carnations so that you can have real flowers in the pink that matches your wedding. The only downfall is that hot pink is a spring and summer wedding color, and if the weather is too hot, dyed plants can wilt quickly (which is why in hot weather you use spray painted, fake flowers.) Decorate with some white filler and rhinestones for that
extra sparkle!
One thing that you don't need is an overly complicated negligee. Hot pink is a lot by itself. Just get something that you're
comfortable in, and your
personality will highlight the rest. You're a
fun-loving, bubbly person! Let it show the night of your wedding!
Why should he choose pink?
Let's be honest: while some men just love pink, he's probably doing this for
you - don't scorn a gift! Pink is so much fun, just go with it! But if your guy is gonna wear pink,
throw out any and all fear of men looking girly in pink; it's a myth! Pink (especially pastel pink) is a great spring and early
summer color for men. Especially when
used with the right darker colors. Firstly, a black and white tuxedo with a splash of pale pink is terribly
charming. Adding white only helps. Next, darker, true colors like navy blue look
fantastic with pink as well. Since pink is a tropical color, you can also get away with using beige, green or orange. Pink is so much more
masculine and versatile than one would think. Just think sunsets; are sunsets girly? No! They're lovely and natural! Although in hindsight that does sound a bit silly...
"...throw out any and all fear of men looking girly in pink; it's a myth!"
The Rainbow Wedding (So Intense)
Just one thematic color? Puh-leese!
Your Inspiration: Rainbows!
You've seen bright orange, neon yellow and hot pink. But none have quite as much character as the
extravagant, all-out rainbow-themed wedding! You get your white dress, your groom gets the black and white tux, and all the while, you'll have
the most poppin' wedding in history!
Ah, the perfect bridal dress. A snug, white top that
highlights every curve and asset. A fit waist and flared bottom. A bustling train. And...
colors! Vibrant, brilliant colors like
Rainbow Fish! Why not? This is your wedding! Own it, girl! If you like color, put some darn color in that dress!
"This is your wedding! Own it, girl!"
The good news about the ring is that there are so many places you can go with it. You can take
any gemstones you love and put them together. As long as they're in order of the visible spectrum, they'll go together. The bad news is that this might be an expensive ring, especially if you add diamonds. However, it may also be cheaper than normal if you
don't use diamonds. With colors, you can get cheaper stones that still hold up
great and look
fabulous.
The
coolest thing about a rainbow wedding is that you and your bridesmaids can be
colorful while all the attention is still on you. This is because while you're wearing white or rainbows, your bridesmaids can wear individual colors. You get the full spectrum - they're each color. The
perfect rainbow of bridesmaids!
Your best friends are going to be the
layers of your cake. When you use layers for a
colorful cake, you can fit
several colors inside. Make sure your cake is supported alright though - don't want it falling over in the middle of the ceremony! A white outside is great for a
colorful, rainbow interior. And the more simple the outside, the more
surprised your guests will be when they see how
bright the inside of your cake is! Of course if the exterior is rainbow, you can have the inside be chocolate. Everyone loves chocolate!
A
fun way to decorate without making everything look all-over-the-place is by decorating table by table,
color by color. Color coding things also makes it easier for seating charts and placing people or items in large weddings. It's a great way to keep track of things while being able to use the colors on the tables themselves. And any dinnerware looks
awesome with so many colors.
It's likely that you'll have a fake bouquet. But that's okay, because what you can't get in scent or texture you can make up for in color.
Neon and electric colors you can't find naturally can be created with
bright paint.
The night of your wedding should be fun and unforgettable...
funforgettable! (Oh gosh that was awful.) Try something cute - like this set of
adorable, rainbow panties. Even though they're seemingly regular lady-briefs, their
bright rainbow butt makes for a
funforgettable night (yeah I said it!)
Why should he choose rainbow?
There are three reasons to choose rainbow. Reason 1: you and your future hubby like rainbows! Who doesn't? They're
fun and colorful, albeit, overwhelming as a party theme if done incorrectly. Reason 2: you
can't decide between like five different colors. This way, the bridesmaids and groomsmen can wear individual colors. Line them up in rainbow order and they'll look great! And reason 3:
revenge. Yep, you heard right. Does your man have an ongoing bet with the guy who will likely be his best man? Slap a
pink suit on him or make him wear
polka dots. Your man gets a laugh, you both have a funny memory to share, and you get the rainbow wedding you want.
