Ombre shades of hot pink, coral, and blush with metallic accents are the choice color palette for this wedding full of sweetness and style! Glimpse into the wedding day of Annie and Justin, a charmingly gorgeous couple!
I remember as a girl thinking about how fun it would be to pick out a cake topper one day that looked just like me and my future husband (either I was destined to work in the cake biz or spent way too much time in romantic daydreams…maybe both!) And while the couple in formal attire is still a classic by some standards, brides these days have so many fun, whimsical, and creative new options for that top tier. Contemporary toppers in all their creative glory can accentuate a wedding’s theme or be the DIY handy work of a crafty bride. Either way, these charming little details are sweet mementos to cherish as your lives grow. A fun tradition: reuse your topper for anniversary cakes! -Emily Allen, Cake Walk Bake Shop

DIY: fashion wooden picks with tiny ribbon and washi tape flags. So cute as a collection!
Be it cotton candy, lollipop figures, or British liquorice, candy toppers are instant fun (and edible) charm.
DIY: spray paint rubber figures! Works great for drink stirs too.

Like a lot of designers, I love ampersands. And I mean paying-$500-for-an-ampersand-sculpture kind of love. However, not all “and” symbols are created equally. There is a fine art to the ampersand. I especially love when they work their way in to weddings. What character could be more appropriate?
Shopping for ribbon in New York City’s Garment District is like entering Candy Land!!!! See what I mean…
Vintage Grosgrain, Lace, Sequins, Trims, ahhhhhhhhh!

What do photographers Elizabeth Messina, Ryan Ray, and Jose Villa have in common, besides the fact that they are uber talented?? Answer, they all shoot film. Film and digital are both beautiful in many different ways. When you are considering a photographer for you wedding day do your research to see if film or digital fits you style and taste.
until next week, Love,
I was thinking about what to post on Hello Love this week and it’s been raining much of the weekend and I wondered if anyone every captured rain on a wedding day beautifully. Tons of photos of course but I stumbled upon this sweet video of Aliona and Andrey who came to the US from Russia and Slovenia. I think a colored umbrella needs to be added to all future bridal/wedding attire. A) cute pic and B) quite possibly useful. Happy Monday all!

When the creator of invitation powerhouse, Cici New York was married in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico no detail was overlooked. The wedding featured a Spanish theme with dramatic red and gold accents.
