DIY Project: Wifey + Hubs Sweatshirts

Valentine’s Day is one of my favourite holidays.  It’s a day when you can be unabashedly sweet, and lovey dovey and to publicly share your pride in your significant other.  I love all of the heart-shaped items, the red and pink, eating chocolate and writing love letters.  I look forward to spending time with my hubs whether it be at the spa, or cooking dinner together at home. But Valentine’s Day activities can get pretty costly, so if you’re looking for something budget-friendly to do with your love, we have the perfect idea!

Rose Quartz & Serenity: 2016 Wedding Colors

In 2016, the Pantone Color Institute surprised us by launch for the first time, the blending of the shades: Rose Quartz and Serenity.  These 2 soft colors and the shades that unite them form the Pantone Colors of this year. 

Just like a marriage, Rose Quartz and Serenity balance each other out, demonstrating compatibility and equality. I love that these 2 pale colors, traditionally used to welcome a baby girl or boy into the world, are seeing a rebirth in 2016 as gender-neutrals and as a symbol of union and peace.

Have you ever woken up to a light blue sky filled with rose cotton-candy-like clouds? That weightless, airy and delicate feel is so unique and so beautifully perfect for your wedding color palette. Pair the two shades with gold or silver for an elegant and refined look (see La Parisienne mood board) or pick deeper shades of blue, purple and green for a nature-inspired palette (see La mer mood board).

What do you think of this year's Pantone colors? Will you include them in your wedding decor, dress, flowers?

2016 WedLuxe Experience

They say it is the most glamorous, most elegant and most over-the-top bridal show in Toronto... and they are right!  The second we stepped into the Carlu on February 9th for the WedLuxe media preview, we were welcomed with an enormous arch of lemon trees leading the way to the entrance of the show and to the start of the hunt to discover hundred of wedding vendors.

The theme of this year's show revolved around La Dolce Vita: Good food, romantic vibe, art pieces made out of sugar and delicate jewelry and dresses were present à la Italiana!
