Bridesmaid Beauty

Now-a-days bridesmaids are anything but traditional. From ombre color palettes to skirts and tops, bridesmaid attire is ever evolving. For most, traditional is out the window and the mix and match is the trend to beat. From a bridesmaid standpoint, the mix and match trend is fabulous! It allows you to get a dress that matches your style, budget and body type. And besides, who wouldn't want to have a bridesmaid dress they could wear again?

Below is some inspiration from around the web that highlights all sorts of different styles, patterns and ways to incorporate the mix and match style. From classic elegance to modern preppy the current bridesmaids trends are fabulous for your bridesmaids and their budget. And they make for some dynamic bridal party photos and add just a touch of character to your big day!

Color Closet: Black & Gold

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great week so far. It has been a while since we have talked color, so this week I am drawing your attention to a classic, chic black and gold color palette. The gold screams I am ready to party, while the black adds a touch of class and elegance. I am swooning over these gorgeous earrings and I wish I had one of those blackberry champagnes to sip. And of course I love the detailing of the black and gold letterpress invitations made by yours truly. The photo really doesn't do them justice. They are one of my favorite pieces we have done so far. I hope you are inspired by this lovely color palette.

Doesn't this color palette just make you want to throw an elegant soiree? For even more inspiration please follow us on Pinterest. You can also see other color palette ideas by visiting our Color Closet.

Color Closet: Purple & Gray

Hello again Ivory House followers! Two blogs in one week? The stars must have been aligned, since I have been ahead of schedule. That being said, I thought I would bring you another Color Closet inspiration. This theme is based off of another one of our May weddings which follows a pretty purple palete mixed with hues of gray. The table numbers (pictured below) were designed here at Ivory House and are paired with crystal encrusted stands. I can't wait to see the rest of Tara's wedding visions come to life! For the rest of the items, I am totally crushing on the polka dotted bow tie mixed with the purple gingham button down. And who doesn't love a purple petticoat?

Color Closet: Mint & Coral

This week I thought I would continue with our monthly Color Closet inspiration. This months color scheme is inspired by an invitation set I did for one of our upcoming June weddings (pictured below). I am swooning over the cake from Aisle Perfect. It screams romantic elegance. And I don't know about you but,  I would love to have that antique styled hair comb accenting my up-do.
