Annnd... We're Back! Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy our return~ I highly recommend starting your wedding design planning with a pattern or specific fabric to start brainstorming your Dream Wedding Ideas in an organized way. By choosing a pattern that has a minimum of 3 set colors, it will help you incorporate each detail to flow well throughout your design. The Look above was inspired by the fabric and brought the design and colors to life in this look, just as it can in your wedding day look. I just love when there is a pattern or emblem throughout a wedding's design; a great example of this is to incorporate the same pattern in the invitations and carried out in a subtle way in the day of elements. Enjoy today's Fabric Inspiration!

"Download the PDF file, and print onto medium-weight 11-by-17-inch paper. (If your home printer won't use that size of paper, most copy shops will be able to print it for you; simply put the file on a disc or a thumb drive and take it to one.) Cut the paper into a triangle by cutting from the corners of one end to the center of the opposite end (use a paper trimmer or a craft knife and a metal yardstick or long straightedge).
Paint a 1/2-inch dowel white or whatever color you want. The paint will seal the wood to avoid splinters and will provide a washable surface, as well as create a polished look. We used an 18-inch-long dowel, but most lumberyards sell dowels up to 48 inches long, which would make a very tall flag. Attach the wide end of the flag to the dowel with double-sided tape, and tie on a ribbon bow."

Celebrity Roselyn Sánchez recently tied the knot to her handsom beau Eric Winter, in her hometown of Puerto Rico. Each detail of their wedding was so well thought out! They had help from their talented coordinator Milly Centeno, of MC Coordinators Puerto Rico. I have to admit that her color pallet was so stunning and elegant with subtlety... Take some inspiration from their wedding photos: you have to do things simply, chic, detailed, and vibrant without overdoing it - they were point on! Congrats to the newlyweds~

"The silk organza gown (center) Sánchez wore for the ceremony had only one glitch: She had trouble walking in it! "I had to kick my legs to move down the aisle," says Sánchez. The actress slipped into the flirty silk-satin chiffon dress with feathers (right) for her 1st dance, & wore the silk-and-organza gown (left) later that night."

There are so many unique ways to create fabulous flower decor on a budget for your dream wedding and allow you to make it more "your own". Take a look at these DIY arrangements, all made with fresh carnation flowers (carnations are on the very low end of the price scale when it comes to flowers, but the way these arrangements were done sure make it very tough to tell the cost as they give a more glamorous and modern vibe):
Here are some vaces that would work really great in achieving unique looks:
We found these more pricy finds & also great inspiration for the project:Ruffled Umbrellas Above - From Bella Umbrella $82 - $99
Came across a fabulous and inspiring DIY idea from Disney of Ruffles & Stuff, who recently posted how to transform an old tall umbrella into a cute ruffled one - all on a dollar store budget! Check out this great idea and HowTo for your upcoming fall or winter wedding, enjoy! (Inspiration above and $1.00 DIY version below) "Materials:
Boring old umbrella (on hand)
Dollar Store shower curtain liner $1
An old button
Cost Estimate: $1
1) First you want to measure all the way around the bottom of your umbrella, and double it for how much curtain liner you will need (plus extra for a flower, and top ruffles). For example, my umbrella was 120″ around, and I cut four 2″ sections that were the full length of the curtain, for a total of about 280 inches. No need to add seam allowance because it doesn’t unravel! Yay!
2) Then sew a straight stitch (on your machine’s longest stitch length) down the middle of all the strips, and pull the bottom thread to gently gather.
3) Hand stitch them onto your umbrella, wherever you like! So easy!!"
