Oh-so-delish is a wedding palette of teal blues, gold, and lavender. These cool hues play together effortlessly and are definitely cotton-candy-sweet for a lavender-infused summer celebration! Warm gold adds in a splash of glamour, while still keeping the combo youthful and sugarcoated in sophistication.

And lavender … the herb/flower! Let’s talk about that for a second. It’s a floral trend that continues to grow, especially with the popularity of outdoor rustic weddings. The flower itself symbolizes loyalty and love—so perfect for weddings.

Rosie and Israel wanted to incorporate lavender in their wedding, plus Rosie wanted to take advantage of the stunning California lavender fields. With their wedding later in the season {when lavender won’t be in season}, they held their romantic engagement session at Highland Spring Resort.

And really, they can still have a lavender-infused wedding! From bouquets to cakes and cocktails, there are so many pretty and creative ways to incorporate this herb into their upcoming wedding.

Engagement, Modern Wedding, Outdoor

When it comes to engagement photo shoots, the days of carefully posed shots of couples cuddling in a flower garden or gazing at a sunset are becoming more streamlined classic {they still make for super pretty shots!}. Modern couples are looking to mix up their sessions a bit with a surprise or two.

Whether they planned it or not, Juliana and Larry’s modern engagement shoot in Red Top Mountain State Park in Georgia ended with a”trash the dress” feel … and we LOVE it! Their forest e-session is ethereal and romantic, and their photographer Aline Marin did an awesome job.

Modern engagement shoots are about a couple showcasing their fun, goofy, or candid personalities. Juliana and Larry’s shoot started with gorgeous classic poses in the woods … and ended with dramatic shots in the cold mountain lake. Simply stunning!

Pale Pink and Mint Green New Zealand Wedding

Classic, Color Monday

Beautiful couple, Ilinke and Shaun, hosted the most classy and stunning New Zealand wedding! We so love the details of their day, including the pretty pale pinks and mint green throughout the decor and flowers. And as you know, we love color! So of course we put together a pretty color palette inspired by their big day.

Ilinke shared a few details of their romantic story that we’ve sprinkled throughout their photos! Enjoy their New Zealand wedding day deets, and be inspired by their pretty color scheme.

How they met: “Shaun and I met through friends. One day he invited me for a walk on the beach and a coffee. To this day this has been our favorite thing to do; it’s a peaceful activity that allows us to connect and spend quality time together. ~In high tides or low tides i’ll be by your side~”

The proposal: “Shaun and I travelled with our family and friends to Wellington. I was getting admitted as a lawyer in the High Court of New Zealand. After my admittance we took a walk down the waterfront as the sun was setting; Shaun proposed at the love-lock bridge. There were bagpipes in the background by coincidence. He had a lock engraved and we threw the key in the sea and locked in our love. We got back to celebrate with friends and family. “

This is the Ethereal color palette from our Summer 2017 Color Trends collection along with a few invites that perfectly carry the color scheme.

Like their gorgeous wedding day, create your own ultra-feminine summer palette with pretty pinks and minty green! This mellow combination is perfect across any wedding style. Add in gold and crisp whites to modernize the look, or delicate roses and lace for a vintage feel. For a warm summer soirée, a pink and green wedding color palette is flowing with beauty and class.

Special thanks to the vendors for sharing Ilinke and Shaun’s New Zealand wedding day!
