OK I’m going to borrow and implement “Mood Board Mondays” which means every Monday, I’ll be posting a new wedding theme/inspiration in the form of a theme board or “mood board.” Wednesdays and Fridays we’ll focus on these topics:
I’d love to know what you guys think about this line-up!
Here’s this week’s first official “Mood Board Monday” post: Valentines Pinks! Enjoy!

I LOVE nudes!!! COLOURS!! NOT PEOPLE!! (Get your mind out of the gutter!!) I love the nude gowns with lace appliques, the shades of nude on lips, colour accents, and, of course, nude shoes! So it only makes sense to do a nude wedding theme right?! Right!
Tell me how YOU like nudes in your colour scheme!
My Gilded Treasures was one of my favourite post series up to date so I wanted to re-share it with you all for more Winter wedding inspiration!
Inspired by the fabulous Ralph Lauren ad campaign I saw in my August issue of Harper’s Bazaar, I give you the glamorous, the gorgeous, the perfect-for-Fall: Gilded Treasures!
Enjoy!
Here’s a lovely Winter poem–and correlating wedding theme–for all my beloved DA Weddings subscribers!
“The Winter Comet”
The night was black and barren,
The snow lay still as death;
The mountains lie ‘neath blankets;
E’en faeries held their breath.
But then a sound came softly,
A light and airy sound.
And then a sound came softly,
Shimmer: its resound.
It sprang across the Even sky
It cut a whole of glass.
Like diamonds thrown upon the night
And tingling of brass.
Yet more melodic was its tone,
It rang so clear and free.
And finer still became its song,
And then at last we see.
The shining aura swimming fast
Across the waking vale.
Like angel with its wings thrown back,
Like bride with flowing veil.
The comet came and filled our sky
And brightened our dark souls.
The comet came and filled our sky
And hurried quickly home.
Yet before its home it finds,
Many skies will come alive,
To diamond touch and frozen lights,
Yet on and on it flies.
‘Til Mother Rora welcomes back
Her solemn sparkling child,
And home she’ll shed her virgin veil
And settle down so mild.
She’ll off to sleep ‘til Time will call
Her up for task again,
Then off she’ll fly so full and free
And claim the skies again!
“Silver and gold, silver and gold everyone wishes for silver and gold..!” You may recognize those lyrics from the old Rudolph movie sung by Burl Ives a.k.a. Frosty the Snowman. Well, I love that song AND those colours–especially for Christmas and Winter weddings! Don’t you??
Silver and gold wedding colour schemes also make a lovely segue into New Year’s Eve weddings and wedding-related events!

Gold, gold, and more gold–you cannot have Christmas festivities without employing the colour gold! From florals to fashion, sparkles sweets, and much more, Winter Golds make for the perfect Christmas or Winter wedding theme!
Will YOU be a Winter Golds bride??

“Silver white winters that melt into Spring” is one of my favourite lines from The Sound of Music musical’s “My Favorite Things” made popular by the ever-loved Julie Andrews. Although often played during the Christmas season, this is actually not a Christmas song and in the words of my dear high school BFF “My Favorite Things is not a Christmas song. Stop playing it!” lol Part of me concurs, yet the other part believes because of this wonderful “silver white winters” line and very likely the fact that the song is sung in a likely “Christmastown” a.k.a Salzburg, Austria it just makes sense to play it!
Will you make Silver White Winters your Christmas wedding theme??

Purple is a FABULOUS colour employed in Winter weddings. With so many breathtaking shades to choose from many a bride will find the perfect shade(s) for her bridal party to don.
Will YOU be a Winter Purples bride??

Well it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas to quote the classic Meredith Wilson song. The air has more than a winter nip in the air and snow is on the horizon for many. For me the holidays … Continue reading
