Turquoise Wedding Inspiration


Hi, Bellas! Turquoise is such a beautiful color with it's magical blue-green shade that not only looks good on all skin colors, but makes for a swoon worthy wedding color! Turquoise decor in flowers, linens and bridesmaid gowns are lovely; and even more lovely when paired with other complimentary hues!
Check out this Turquoise wedding from Betty and Dr. Bereket's Houston wedding held at the Bayou City Center.

Here is another example of how Turquoise can be beautiful with other bold colors such as purples and blues. Here is an example of how two bold colors can work really well together! Love this inspiration from our featured bride Selam.

And for a more Spring'ish look and feel, Turquoise pairs REALLY well with peach, coral and yellow hues! Check out this beautiful collage inspiration.




And how about a Pop of Turquoise in this vintage lace wedding gown....!

Fun Fact: did you know that Turquoise is French for "Turkish" as this valuable gem or stone was originally imported from Turkey. Also, in many cultures, the Turquoise gemstone has been cherished for thousands of years as a holy stone and a bringer of good fortune. Sweet! (Source)

Pimp My Chair


Goodmorning, Bellas!
We wanted to share a few inspirations from our 'Pimp My Chair' files! Lately, we have come across wedding chairs that are above and beyond the typical wooden chair disguised in  fabric chair covers topped off with the pretty satin bow. Below are some fun ideas of how to "pimp out" your chairs for your special day! And to save yourself some money, consider decorating only the bride and groom's chairs or the entire wedding party! Also, choosing chiavari chairs and adding simple sashes, silks, lace, pins and brooches or fresh flowers on a bow is gorgeous and pretty simple for a DIY project!
Remember, there is no limit to your creativity!

Enjoy, xo.
