I love the featured color palette that takes classic white and pairs it with slate, orange + green. Here's a little peek at the orange inspired pages - so super clean, crisp + refreshing!

On Newsstands Now: Brides January 2011

BRIDES/Conde Nast

After getting engaged, you'll probably run to the newsstand and pick up a stack of wedding magazines, and when you get to the checkout counter, you'll find out that they can be expensive. (That's why you should get a subscription -- it'll save you a lot of money!)

Just like deciding what movie to go see or restaurant to eat at, reading a review of a bridal magazine can help you decide which one to buy. Aisledash.com is now your go-to source for reviews of the latest wedding magazines hitting stands, whether they're local or national. Each review will feature the highlights of the new issue and what you'll find inside.

The January 2011 issue of Brides magazine (bridesmag.com) just hit stands and focuses on the "just engaged" bride. There are a number of stories on what to do at the early stages on planning, but if you've been planning for a few months or your wedding is just around the corner you're sure to find ideas and inspiration you can still put to good use. Cost of issue: $5.99.

I actually get more ideas from the long list of wedding blogs on the web, but I subscribe to 3 wedding magazines...Bride and Bloom, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style and tadaaaaa....the forever old standby, Brides. So many ideas out there...it's hard to get them in order, but here is a way to start.

Fav Finds + Peaches and Greens
This lovely photo I am about to share truly is a bright spot of happy color! I am loving all of the orchestrated chaos in these bouquets - succulents, grapes, garden roses! I love the color combos too! The fabulous Holly Heider Chapple created these lovelies and Kristen Gardner captured their beauty. I found this post and image over on Adore http://trishadean.blogspot.com/ and the Southern Weddings blog and although they had a rough day today with their new site launch, I know it will be simple AMAZING when it does get up and going - so an early congrats to the gals over at Southern Weddings on all their exciting new things!

Winter Gift Wrap

Found this on Grey Likes Weddings
this morning...getting to be my favorite blog.

Love the white on whites and all the monochromatic

(one-color combinations in a variety of hues in a single color family)

combinations....I could do 14 weddings in these colors and none would be the same!

Might be a little boring to some.... I just think it's very classy!

One of the challenges when I am using this combination is defining a focal point...this designer didn't have that problem....love the various textures and patterns of the flowers and leaves on each one.

What a fun idea...Here we go!

First Snow of the Season


Winter is not my favorite time of the year...but this is such a beautiful site to meet first thing in the morning!

Does the forcast say that more snow is on the horizon? We better hunker down and do a little Christmas decorating...fix a cup of hot cocoa & cuddle up with the ones we love.

Hope your first weekend in December was filled with holiday cheer...

See you back here Monday to kick off another week...
