It's all in the details pt. 2

I stumbled upon these AMAZING hangers on a photography website and then found them on Etsy.
Seriously, every bride should have one made! Such a cute detail and the photos are that much more amazing. No more plastic hangers!!

And for the bridesmaids too!! Looove it!

 

Or just a simple heart. Perfect.

It's all in the details

Weddings are a reflection of who you are as a couple. Have some fun with it! I love going to a wedding and seeing something that I have never seen before (and I've been to a lot of weddings). 

I found this website with so many fun bow ties. Don't worry, the site includes how to tie a bow tie. 

Below are Kimothy's wedding shoes. So cute:) Every bride should have a beautiful, fun shoe on her wedding day. Or at least have the bridesmaids wear something amazing.

Etsy and all it's fabulous artists have custom made cake toppers. There are so many to choose from. How cute are they? Miniature dolls from your big day. Love it!

These living escort cards doubles as a favor. I love the potted plan idea. Found at The Wedding Chicks.

We are in our friends wedding in August and she and her soon to be sister in law made these adorable hair accessories for the bridesmaids.

I claimed the blue one and I'm pretty sure Kimothy claimed the green.

We can't wait to wear them! Our dresses are midnight blue and the bright, bold colors will compliment them so well:)






We would love to hear what you did to make your wedding day unique (accessory wise). Feel free to comment!



Happy planning:)

Cute as a button hair accessories...

I just found this up and coming blog that shares romantic stories from various couples, provides wedding and marriage tips, and also inspires by showcasing really cute, crafty ideas that can be applied to the wedding day.

It's called Love, Milk, and Honey! What a great name, sigh*

One of my favorite finds on this new blog is the accessories page! Check it out! These would be great in photographs tucked in the bridesmaids' pretty updos!

If you like what you see, you can visit Lisa Raser's store on Etsy called Ink & Button.

Don't you just love creative, crafty people? If you haven't heard of Etsy, it is the best online marketplace to find fun, fresh, handmade goods of all kinds. Also, there is another similar site I enjoy perusing through (instead of doing work) called Paper n Stitch. Go ahead, search "wedding". I triple dog dare you. There is a plethora of wedding cuteness to leave you saying ooooh, awwwwww for the rest of the day :)

your own wedding CoLoR palette!

As a graphic designer, I am often searching for inspiring color palettes to use throughout brand identity systems.

I just recently came across this website called Colour Lovers: www.colourlovers.com

I was thrilled to find out that they have a Wedding section with popular wedding color trends, inspiration, palettes, photos, etc. I would have LOVED to have this prior to my wedding day. So helpful and it's really good to understand your overall color palette from the get go of your planning. Then you can really focus on bringing the various colors of your palette out in all the details. It will also lend to creating a more cohesive, coordinated atmosphere on your big day.

Hope you check this out! More inspiring/helpful websites to come.

Yessssss, I get to relive my wedding planning days vicariously through all of you bride-to-be's. THANK YOU! :)

Trunk Shows coming to Denver and SOON!

anna bé bridal boutique is having a few trunk shows starting tomorrow. Every bride shopping for a wedding dress in the Denver area must go there for three reasons 1.) the store's interior is amazing! (see the pics below) 2.) the prices are very reasonable 3.) the dresses are gorgeous!! Kimothy and I stopped in a few weeks ago and were blown away. Why couldn't we have found somewhere like this for her dress shopping?? 


some shots of the store taken from their site...

Pretty amazing, huh? Who doesn't want to shop here?

Augusta Jones' trunk show starts March 19th through March 21. 
<----one of my favorites from their website.

Stephanie James' trunk show starts March 26th through the 28th. I am in love with the tea length dresses she makes. The layering under the dresses is such a cute touch! Can I just wear this just because? 








Call anna bé ahead and make an appointment for the shows! 720.855.1111 And happy shopping! 

Bouquet of flowers for the lady?

I just had to share some of the creative and beautiful bouquets I have been seeing on MarthaStewartWeddings.com. Choosing a color palette might be one of the hardest or easiest parts of planning. Depending on if you know exactly what you want. Some brides incorporate their favorite color along with the grooms. Once you have chose your colors you are able to really start the planning of all decorations and flowers. I found this website for choosing color palettes. Kimothy went to a paint store and collected color swatches. It was such a good idea because she was able to whip them out of her purse whenever people asked about her wedding colors.  


So creative. The florist, Michael George, took many rose petals to make one large rose. I love it!

Colorful ideas....

What flower is found on the face?....tulips!

and one for the men:

I lorveee the orange. Dahlias seem to be a popular flower this summer and they are really cute. Oh, Martha keep up the good work...

Happy flower planning!

Create your own Wedding Website

This blog post kicks off our wedding planning helpful hints for brides. Check back often for our two cents on the ins and outs of wedding planning.

Creating a wedding website is an important, useful, and fun part of wedding planning. There are so many cute and customizable templates out there. Many websites offer a lot of helpful tools to ease the stressful process. The free tools offered by many sites are: seating charts, vendor contact information, schedule payments, track gifts and thank yous, and most importantly, display engagement photos! Guests attending the wedding are able to access important information like ceremony and reception site, maps, bride and groom registry, RSVP, meal choices, etc. Every couple must have one and include it on your save the date, in our opinion.

Here is a short list of some of our favorites and some of our future bride's favorites:

•Wedding Mapper
(a favorite of the templates)

•Project Wedding (Kimothy used this as her wedding website. My favorite features were their love story and photos of the bridal party with bios on each member).
•Wedding Wire
•Wedding Window

(so many colors to choose from)

Hope this helps! Please feel free to comment and share your wedding website with us:)
