FALL FALL FALL

Centerpieces are important in a wedding and usually what some brides stress a lot about because this is where everyone gathers around and will be seeing. If you are having a fall wedding here are several ways to mix the beautiful burnt orange, yellow, red, and browns together to match the season.

Falling In Love

Planning a wedding for the fall? We have done the research and found several inspirations for that special day of yours. One is for a more simple wedding with a little splash of color and then there is another inspiration for a more colorful themed wedding. Still want that outdoor wedding with an old barn in the mix but you don't really know how to put it all together? We've found a romantic way to incorporate an old barn and a beautiful wedding all in one.

Ohh-la-la-LACE Wedding Gowns

I understand lace is not every bride's ideal fabric, but I just can not imagine not hopping on this wedding trend with full force! I have always appreciated lace, but I may have recently escalated my appreciation to absolute adoration. Kate Middleton obviously raised the bar for lace-accented gowns with her very elegant wedding dress, but I have to say... for me... some of you may not agree... some of you may strongly disagree... this dress is just as or more beautiful!! For one, I love the flowing, full skirt which just makes a bride really look like a fairy tale bride. Add a mermaid style and soft lace overlay and I'm in love. For you brides on a budget (you know I'm always thinking about you), you will be ecstatic to learn this dress is only $225.00 from geebird.com!!! Hope you're in absolute adoration now too...

Deep Jewel Tones & Bold Color Combos

So, I've never been afraid of color but some brides might be a little unsure of the bold color combos trending for fall and 2012 events now. With a little guidance and restraint, an event with bold jewel tones paired with warm neutrals could be the show-stopping effect you're dreaming of! As you're planning, remember that not every element of your event should be saturated with strong color tones. Same as interior design- the eye needs a place to rest in order to take in all the lovelies. So, be sure to bring in neutrals with the same warm undertones as the bold jewel tones you select. My favorite right now: eggplant, aqua blue, mahogany and gold. Throw in a little light cream, ivory and/or taupe when any neutral is in order (not really for the bride who's grandmother demands she wears white, not ivory!). Consider searching flea markets or borrowing mismatched vintage style china in a variety of patterns, but all within the same color range. In my opinion, this inspiration picture from Sarah Maren Photography is gorgeous, but remember- when you find an inspiration picture there's no need to "copy" it. Choose the elements you love the most & work from those. Incorporate your own style while omitting your not-so-faves from the photo(s). Make it your own, and call us to make it Perfectly Posh!

Introducing John & Jill - Another Perfectly Posh Couple

Jill entered our Fall Big Giveaway on Facebook and WON!! She used to say "I never win anything" but that's not true anymore. John and Jill are planning an outdoors wedding at the Fordyce Ricks Estate on October 8, 2011. As part of her package, Jill won free day-of-event coordination, free event design & $500 towards her floral design & creation by Perfectly Posh. She had already planned so many beautiful things for their day so we have really enjoyed working together to make their big day even better... actually, Perfectly Posh! Check back soon for more pictures of their elegantly Fall themed outdoor wedding.

DIY Wedding Day Hairstyles

What a great way to save money for your engagement pictures, bridal portraits or event wedding day- DIY hairstyles! This great article from Martha Stewart Weddings. Now, this is obviously not for everyone (only a true professional can tame my wild tresses), but for brides on a budget with "good" hair or even for brides with a hair-handy friend... I think this is perfect! Luckily, loose and flowing styles are very popular for Fall and certainly go well with the vintage themes so many brides are choosing now. Enjoy the article and happy hair styling!
