Purple Passion

Purple and weddings will never go out of style.....with all the shades most everyone can find one they love!  The colour of royalty it can be elegant and sophisticated or fun and exciting...it can be anything you want!
You need to start with the perfect stationery and I'm loving the bold graphic of this large bloom!

Not for everyone but for that special couple this could be cool!

You don't want a purple dress so maybe purple flowers are the way to go....

Blossoms are in the air

Who doesn't love spring and eagerly await the blossoming trees?  Vancouver is a destination spot for those who travel in search of the prettiest blooms-I was told this by some Japanese students and they know their beautiful blossoms!!

Let's start with blossoms on the dress......

Beautiful gossamer with gold and silver embroidery with a touch of crystals....
Petals in the Wind by Claire Pettibone
Don't you LOVE the name of this gown?  And it is stunning!!  Showing white sakura blossoms intertwined with silver metallic branches and iridescent sequins with a full skirt of tulle and silk taffeta.

We've seen dresses now how about some shoes? Imagine these peeping out from under your dress-so cute!

 But if heels are not your thing how about a pair of Uggs?





Don't overlook your stationery-it sets the tone of your wedding and is your all important "First Impression"
Smockpaper
Letterpress, when a printing press is used to imprint text or an image onto the stationery and adds texture to the invite, invitations are so beautiful!  LOVE this one!  For added luxury couldn't you see a few crystals in the centers of some of the blossoms?

I love cake, and anything cake like really, so let them eat it!

This is so pretty-look at that detail work!
