Casually Elegant Backyard Wedding in Austin

It is no wonder this wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty. The details are so sweet and thoughtful. Perfected to a T! My favorites include the S’mores gift favors and the handmade chalkboard Menu. Even though there are a lot of DIY moments, it feels professional and elegant. The wedding colors- Lavender and Yellow- are perfectly muted and feel so classy. I know all of my princess brides will love her dress {and maybe feel a little envious} How great is that sparkly belt?! This beautiful wedding was photographed by Half Orange Photography! Check out the rest of the vendor list at the bottom.

The Real Wedding of Beverly Hills: Vanderpump Wedding

Bravo’s series the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ended the season celebrating Housewife Lisa Vanderpump’s daughter’s wedding.  The million dollar nuptials took place at the Vanderpump’s Beverly Hills home in August 2011.  The famous housewife’s daughter Pandora, married a fellow British native Jason Todd. The couples wedding was high-end and glitzy to say the least.  Famous wedding planner Kevin Lee of LA Premier planned the pink themed event.  It was made clear that every aspect of the wedding would be pink, Pandora’s favorite color.  From the flowers, to the napkins and even the mother of the brides dress, everything was indeed pink.  Other accent colors included shades of silver and white.  From top to bottom, beginning to end, Pandora and Jason’s wedding sparkled and shined and was exactly what you would expect from a Beverly Hill’s family wedding.

Neon Colors to Highlight Your Wedding

Neon is a trend that has recently reemerged in the fashion world.  It is a statement trend that is being adapted to fit wedding decor.  Brides.com shows great ways you can incorporate neon in your wedding.  When livening your wedding up with these vivacious neon colors, it is very important to pair these bold colors with a neutral color like white or beige.  This allows for your neon accents to be more sophisticated and not look like an 80′s flashback.

You can also tone down the neon trend by using slightly different shades of the bright greens, oranges, pinks and yellows, but still have the same uplifting and attention grabbing affect.
