Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Mint

I tend to gravitate towards bright, vibrant colors (Remember this post all about emerald?), but when springtime begins to roll around, pastels start tugging at my heart. Mint appears to be the “it” pastel of the season and I am not complaining! The hue happens to pair perfectly with gold, too, making me love it just that much more. Here are a few wonderful ways to incorporate this springy shade into your wedding day! â€” Kelly

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Animal Motifs

We all see different animals take their turn in the spotlight. Think owls and, as of late, foxes. But there’s something quite sweet and whimsical about incorporating animal motifs into your wedding day, even if they aren’t the trending animal of the moment! You may have seen a little animal stamp on your place card at past weddings, indicating your dinner of choice, but these ideas take it to the next level, bringing animal silhouettes, fancied up plastic animals, and origami varieties to your big day! â€” Kelly

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Emerald

I probably don’t have to tell you that Pantone has selected emerald as the official color of 2013! I was jumping for joy when I heard this, and I hope you were too, especially if you are engaged! Emerald is such a unique choice for a wedding color and it can lend itself to many a style. Pair it with gold and jewel tones for a moody look or black and white for a modern feel, and that’s only just the beginning. Here are a few day-of stationery ideas to get you inspired for bringing the shade of the year into your big day! â€” Kelly

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Confetti

With Christmas just around the bend, your mind might not quite be focused on New Years yet, but mine is! Anyone out there planning a New Year’s Eve wedding? It might be worth it just because you can have that much more confetti to throw around. Now’s the time to break out all the confetti you can find for your wedding, or just use it as a motif if you’d like the festivity without the mess! I personally prefer both, so I bring you… Confetti! (Disclaimer: Confetti should always be followed by an exclamation point!) â€” Kelly

Wedding Stationery Inspiration: Silver + Gold

I have a feeling by now you are all getting into the holiday spirit, I know I am! My very most favorite thing about holiday color schemes and festivities is the love that my most cherished color â€“ gold â€“ gets. Along with silver (Though I’m not going to lie, this post is mostly gold!), these metallics happily ring in the season all the way through to the new year. Gold has become quite the popular wedding accent, and silver has always been there as an elegant way to add a little shine so even if you aren’t getting married during the winter season, their a pair to keep an eye on. Here’s a look at how to incorporate the two holiday classics into your day-of wedding stationery! â€” Kelly
