I love a winter wedding! All those rich colors and, of course, the fact that you get to accessorize your look to go with the season. Elizabeth and Edward’s winter holiday wedding, shot by Rodney Bailey at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, DC, has so many great elements! From Elizabeth’s classic gown and bright bouquet to the smaller details of their wedding, it’s great food for thought for brides-to-be planning a winter event!
One really fun thing about planning a wedding is having the creative license to interpret favorite elements and make them your own. Joy and Mark chose a wonderful old hotel (that is now condos and event space) in Baltimore, The Belvedere, as the venue for a wedding that was chic, romantic, and a little vintage.
Last year, I (along with the rest of the baci team) had the pleasure of designing a gorgeous Valentine’s Day wedding for high school sweethearts, Casey and Josh. Everything went so smoothly and the couple could not have been happier (they had originally intended to elope to avoid the wedding planning hassle, but after speaking with baci changed their minds)!! An extra-added bonus for this holiday fête – the entire event was planned in only eight weeks with a budget of $1,000!!!
I’m so in love with the bridesmaid dress (I could hardly believe that it came from David’s Bridal!) in this post that I created the entire board around it! The colors mesh so well together and would be great for any season’s wedding.
Winter is such a magical time, with the season’s holidays reflected in the themes we associate with this time of year. While outside it’s cold and somewhat stark, the warmth of family and friends and the feeling of celebration more than makes up for it!
This wedding, shot by Documentary Associates, combines some of my favorite winter details – snowflakes, sparkle, bells, and a “warm from the inside out” atmosphere. I especially love how the bride has woven her thread of snowflake sparkle throughout her look, from her glittering gown to a dazzling tiara!
January not only brings forecasts of snow (well at least here in Ohio it does!!), but forecasts of trends. In this three part forecasting series, check out what’s bound to be hot in 2010!
Today it’s all about the new and fun color combinations you’ll be seeing this year. Be on the lookout for everything earthy – not exactly earth tones but colors taken right from nature, especially your garden!
Manzanita branches, found naturally in the chaparral regions of western North America, are commonly used decoratively because of their beauty, unique shape, and strength when dried. As wedding décor, manzanita branches are hot! I have had many brides come in asking for manzanita branches for their centerpieces. These branches go well in
There’s that word again. Chignon. Do they choose fancy french words just to embarrass us??
Relax. No, its really not all about you… (hahaha…bet cha haven’t heard that one since you started planning your wedding!). The word chignon, pronounced “sheen-yon,” is actually derived from the French phrase “chignon du cou,” which translates to “nape of the

Phalaneopsis orchids are everywhere in bridal magazines! They are the typical “moth orchid” plant you might see at Trader Joe’s or any other shop selling plants. As cut flowers, they are no longer that Home Depot plant,
For many people, their dog is as much a member of the family as any sister or brother. Since weddings are about (among other things) celebrating an important moment with loved ones, it’s natural to want to include Fido. Think what you may about including pooches in weddings, but try to remember that, for many, [...]
