Life. Love. Lipstick.

Black, white, and yellow weddings are huge right now.  Everywhere I look, brides are turning to these colors for their weddings.  I love this vibrant and bold palette.  I’m sharing a few of my favorite inspiration images with you today!

From the wedding of Lakisha and Rochard, shot by the talented Jessie Cho:

Don’t you just love the tablescapes and escort cards?!  There are so many more photos of this wedding (and others, of course!) to be seen on Jessie Cho’s blog.

From one of my favorite photography studios, Our Labor of Love, images from the wedding of Jacqui and Lachlan:

How about those tulips hanging from the ceiling?  Awesomely insane!  See more on Our Blog of Love.

And a couple other images I’ve been saving…

Gorgeous shot by Jessica Claire.

Wedding by Bliss Events, via Lucky Me!

And from the masters of the inspiration board, Snippet & Ink.

Anna Kuperberg is a genius.  That’s all there is to it.  Her wedding images make me feel like I was there, feeling every moment and every emotion.  This wedding held at a private home is amazing.  I love the simplicity, the veil, the dress, oh… those Chanel shoes!

I love, LOVE this bride’s funky style.  She looks demure and pretty, then she kicks up her clunky black patent shoes and we see her fun side.  This wedding is simple and gorgeous at the same time.  And you must go see the entire blog post on Jake Holt’s blog, because he perfectly captured the love in the ceremony, and the fun at the reception!

For years, I’ve pored over the beautiful wedding recaps in the Weddings We Loved thread of kvetch.  I love to see couples do things their own way.  Last week I was browsing the threads and found this beautiful wedding of  IB user tryingsohardtobelieve.  Stunning!  The bride and groom look like they are straight out of a magazine.  The invites and paper goods are to die for, and that cake?!  wow.

Definitely check out the full thread on IB.

Ok, I’m a known hater of all things purple, but it was used in such a wonderful way in this wedding.  Dare I say, I think the purple could be one of my favorite accents to black and white now?!?

This bride’s adorable look, paired with the gorgeous reception details makes for an amazing wedding!  The photography was by Melissa Jill, and I especially love the reception detail shots.

You can see Melissa Jill’s entire post about this wedding on her blog.

So, I can’t help it… I have to do this.  I have to give my company some props!  I work for WH|BM, and right now is a great time to go in for wedding items!  Whether you are looking for a wedding dress, rehearsal dress, jewelry, or just need some inspiration, you should really stop in.

Here are just a few things that I’ve seen that would be perfect for weddings.

Outfits for a rehearsal dinner or other pre-wedding parties:

The LeJardin dress, paired with the reversible croc belt.

The Houndstooth Silk dress (that has pockets.  love a dress with pockets!)

Strapless Silk Blossom dress (one of my personal faves)

Two-Tone dress – absolutely perfect in person!  so so cute.

Accessories for the bride or bridesmaids (would also make good BM gifts):

The Midnight Melange bracelet.. words can not describe how gorgeous and sparkly this is in person.  Such a dramatic piece… I’m considering it for my own wedding, even though i don’t have a date or a dress.

The Sultry Breeze evening bag

Hand-tied glass pearl necklace

Absolutely gorgeous Atelier brooches.  I would love to have this on my bouquet, in my hair, or on a sash.

And on a related note, you can host a Girls’ Night Out party at a White House | Black Market store.  You can invite 10 guests to join you in discounted merchandise and refreshments.  This is a great idea for bachelorette parties or an alternative to a bridal luncheon.  Ask a WH|BM near you for all the details.

If you live in the Orlando area, please stop by the store at Mall at Millenia and see me!  I’ll give you a discount if you mention you read it on my blog!
