Origami is the art of Japanese paper folding and if done well, can be a very inexpensive and elegant wedding decor. Folding a crane takes time, patience, and understanding. These are the same qualities that are important for a marriage to thrive. This is why the symbology of 1,000 hand-folded cranes is so powerful. You can create them in any color to match your wedding and metallic papers are readily available.

Our Inspiration Engine Apps have been out for a few weeks now and have done phenomenally well! We are on track to hit 750,000 pageviews in December!!! We’ve started a tumblr blog a few days ago and we love how easy and fast it is to post. We’ve skinned it and made it real pretty. We’ll be posting several times a day – really whatever tickles our fancy and what we think will inspire our brides planning their weddings.
Here is where we’ll help you shine!
Our Tumblr blog will be indexed into our website’s search engine, our Inspiration Engine iPhone and iPad apps, and each post will be tweeted to our nearly 5,000 followers. The posts will be search engine optimized for Google as well as My Wedding Concierge so brides who type your company name into our search engine will find you immediately. Each sponsored post will also be tagged for searchability as well. The posts live on indefinitely on tumblr and our search engines. We will never take them down so this is a great opportunity to reach tens of thousands of brides easily and forever! Because the posts are optimized for keywords, this works for local, national, or international vendors. You’ll also get a link directly back to your site.

Poinsettias Inspired Winter Weddings
Poinsettias are the flowers of Christmas. It’s easy to incorporate them into your winter wedding as they come in several colors, bright red, dark red, pink, and white (looks more like a cream). You can use them as an accent color or you can create a poinsettia themed wedding.

I met Felice in the lobby of The Breakers. We were both going to the cocktail party at Engage10 when we struck up a conversation. I was immediately amazed at what she does.

Mercury Glass and Whimsical Winter Weddings
I LOVE the look of mercury glass. It works so well in vintage, glam, and winter themed weddings. Mercury has such an old world charm to it – mercury vases look best when paired simply with red roses, peonies, ranunculas, or other large blooms. Simple white candlesticks on a mercury candelabra lends an elegant touch to the dinner setting and a simple white wedding cake set atop a mercury or brushed silver cake stand is just gorgeous. Take a look for yourself!

Pantone Fashion Color Report Spring 2011
As New York wraps up its Fashion Week 2010, Pantone, the world renown authority on color has released their Pantone Fashion Color Report for Spring 2011! The gorgeous colors are: Honeysuckle, Coral Rose, Peapod, Beeswax, Silver Peony, Russet, Regatta, Blue Curacao, Lavender, and Silver Cloud. I can see a lot of Silver Peony and Silver Cloud weddings on the horizon as those are just such classic colors and Blue Curacao would just accent the gorgeous, ever popular peacock feather themed weddings perfectly.
Fall 2010: Pantone Oyster Gray for Weddings
Tami from Fabulously Wed is our guest blogger today! I love the color Oyster Gray. It’s a very warm gray that can work well with several colors for your wedding.
When I’m creating event designs I often look to the Pantone Seasonal Color Report. During New York Fashion Week, the biggest trendsetters and fashion influencers decide what colors will drive seasonal sales and trends. I love the color selection for Fall 2010. From vibrant pops to warm earthiness, I can see visions of wedding and event design dance in my head. My favorite color choice from the Pantone Fall 2010 Trend Report is Oyster Gray. Many people equate gray with a cool and sterile feeling. But gray can also envelop you with a sense of calm and security. Below I share an inspiration board showing you just how gorgeous and inviting this color can be!
Until Next Time, Stay Fabulous! : tami brown
