Roses, Peonies, hydrangeas and orchids are all great staple for your blush tone weddings. Soft colors are so romantic and works well with most venues. The neutral shades makes the decor decision a lot [...]

Purple Plum color inspiration
November 27, 2008 – 7:01 pm
Is Purple the new Black? Hmmmm, maybe! I’ve been thinking about this color a lot lately. To me, purple is a color full of symbolism and has a long association with royalty, it denotes affluence, dominance and magnificent opulence!

Soft fluffy fresh petals spread thickly down the path. Walking on it feels like fresh snow and creates a dramatic effect. Many brides [...]
