Wedding Inspiration: Summer 2015

Still enjoying this beautiful spring season but looking ahead to a fabulous and fun summer 2015. At VW, our inspiration journey often begins with selecting a color palette to reflect the season, trends and our style. Here’s a great site for wedding color inspiration: www.theperfectpalette.com. This year our favorites are: mint (in any and all shades), aqua, and raspberry sorbet (so bold!). Why these colors you ask? Mint and aqua are refreshing colors and remind us of the summer season where being outdoors at the beach or on picnics and poolside BBQ’s is a blast. Summer is a season where relaxation and casual feeling take the reins and give us freedom to be bold (our daring raspberry selection) or license to sit back and enjoy the sunshine.

Summer 2015 Color Palette Inspiration: Mint, Aqua, and Raspberry Sorbet

After selecting our color palette we have fun Googling images of our colors to find inspiring wedding décor, cakes, dresses, shoes, accessories and all that fun stuff. That’s the secret to our inspiration process! The rest is Pinterest bliss and online shopping, some fun diy projects and BOOM! You’ve got the foundation for a stylish and oh-so-you wedding!

How and When to Announce Your Engagement

Now that he’s planned all the romantic details of how to propose and has successfully swept you off your feet, your fiancé can breathe a sigh of relief. . . or can he???!?

After sharing the news with your parents and immediate family, most etiquette sources suggest calling relatives and close friends who live further away next. They also suggest calling anyone who
