With all of this Gadsby talk, we are loving the look of layered frills to bring a fresh nod toward the roaring twenties.
Many of the 2013 runways are featuring soft, flowing folds of fabric in skirting, sleeves, and everywhere in between. Frills are an ultra-femme way to pump up the volume on your bridal gown or even decor.

With daffodils and tulips blooming everywhere, it’s easy to be inspired by spring’s sunny disposition. Golden hued yellow is such a lovely color palette choice, whether you keep it clean and bright, pairing it with crisp white, or whether you like a more amber color paired with stormy grays.

Spring is peeking through in pale blue skies and soft pink and yellow blooms, so naturally we have pastels on the brain. A pastel palette works beautifully when one hue is paired with a bolder color or a metallic, or go ultra-femme and group your pastels with lace.

With warmer weather just around the corner, we’re thinking pretty spring picnics. So today we’re bringing you gingham inspiration. From the quaint picnic blanket to the elegant wedding tablescape, gingham can be just the right print to mix in to your color palette.

A bride’s veil is one of those details that can truly make a statement on a wedding day. Cathedral veils hearken back to the most formal, royal weddings and are just timelessly romantic. Blushers in polka dot or edged in lace are flirtatious and sweet, while a Juliet cap veil is feminine with a bohemian edge.

It may not be snowing in Virginia quite yet but with parts of the country receiving their first bout of chilly weather, we’re dreaming of winter whites. A snowy backdrop can be beautiful for a wedding, but even if you aren’t expecting snowfall on your wedding day, a wintery mix of whites, ivories, and creams in a variety of textures can evoke the beauty and glamour of a brisk walk through the snowdrifts.

The bohemian trend has been around for a while, but right now we are more drawn to that 60′s/70′s glam – the more polished, colorful side of things. Dramatic cat eye makeup, long sleeved gowns, hair with big volume, and oversized floppy hats are all inspired pieces to incorporate into your wedding. Keep things fresh by adding modern details and choosing a clean color palette.

If you are planning a winter wedding consider adding something to keep you warm. We love the idea of a vintage fur to keep you from shivering on your special day. There a variety of styles to stay cozy (and glamorous!) such as coats, capes and stoles.

Lucy and Jason were married in late August at Farmington Country Club, located right around the corner from the bride’s family home. Despite the rainy day, the bride and groom had bright spirits and joyful hearts! The bride chose a palate of white, green, and touch of deep blue to give a special nod to the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountain view – very fitting for late summer! The groomsmen even wore green ties with fleur de lis, a nod to Jason’s New Orleans background.
