and the winner is

September 20th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Paper - (1 Comments)

Pantone’s forecast for top colors of 2013 were just released and here are the winners! The selections build upon the need for balance – mixing energizing brights with novel neutrals. Number one is a muted navy – Monaco Blue. Very conservative compared to last year’s Tangerine Tango. My money was on number 4 – Grayed Jade. (Still in the top 5!)  In the coming year, we’ll see these colors in everything from fashion to wedding colors.

I love a clean navy and white palette – you can’t go wrong with this classic combination. For those more daring brides, a Monaco Blue also pairs nicely with a bold yellow or orange.

Here’s a look at Pantone’s predictions from 2012. Tangerine Tango was selected as the number one.

orange and grey meet….

When Orange and Grey are paired up they are both sophisticated and fun! Calendula is the perfect late summer/early fall bloom to pick…it comes in different shades of orange and can look very clean and graphic or wild and organic! Think about sprinkling their petals around….

bouquet-o-bow

September 13th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Paper - (Comments Off)

maid of honor? wondering how to make the bride’s toss bouquet?

WHAT you will need: all bridal shower and/or couples shower bows from gifts, one cardboard toilet paper roll,

& paper flowers for FLAIR

tie a double bow at the top of each ribbon

for each pre-made ribbon tie it to a free straight ribbon and give it a tail

now, all of your ribbons and bows have tails

gather all of the ribbons together with bows at the top

almost there, it’s coming together so nicely!

at the base where all the bows have been collected tie a good, tight knot!

tie another knot about four inches below

feed the knot through the tp roll and pull all the ribbon tails through

fasten another color of ribbon at the top of the roll and wrap the roll until it is covered completely

trim up all of your ribbon tails and snip the end of each to make a beautifully manicured

add the finishing paper flower flair…and

VOILA!!
