Radiant Orchid Bridesmaid Dresses

The color of the year 2014 is radiant orchid, and if you are getting married this year you might want to use this vibrant color as your motif. Start with picking bridesmaid dresses in this color or shade. Whether you want your bridesmaids to wear long or short dresses, radiant orchid will surely brighten up your big day. Plus they look really pretty!

Why wasn't this the "in" color when I got married in 2012? Kidding aside, check out these bridesmaid dress inspirations.

Now the next task is to make sure you pick a design that your bridesmaids will love to wear.

Kelly Clarkson's Beautiful Ranch Wedding

Kelly Clarkson married Brandon Blackstock in a beautiful ceremony at a Tennessee ranch in October. I envy the dreamy, natural venue so much! I wish there is something like that close to home so I could have married there.

Kelly's wedding was not extravagant, but it was sweet and intimate, like how I wanted mine to be. Also, her dress is so dainty! Check out photos from her wedding:

Winter Wedding Inspirations

Because Christmas is near, I am posting some inspirations for a winter wedding. Too bad it doesn't snow where I am now, but having a winter theme for a wedding can still be achieved in the details. From the wedding dress, to invitations and wedding favors, a touch of winter can help pull off this theme, with or without snow.

The wedding dress: It can still be a sweetheart neckline but throw over a fur shawl to protect you from the cold. You can always remove it later when you are in a warmer room.

The bridesmaids: You got to keep them from freezing too!

The invites: Choose colors, fonts and graphics that give your guests the winter feel.

The drinks: It would be nice if your guests can sip a cup of hot chocolate, tea or coffee upon arriving at your reception. Don't forget the peppermint straw!

The cake: Keep it simple and sweet.

The favors: Pino cone fire starters would do the trick!

Whoever said you can't get married during winter?
