RAINBOW WEDDING

Rainbows can be beautiful, whimsical, unique, and very meaningful. Anyone every thought of including rainbow in their wedding?

Rainbow weddings can symbolize two things:

• HAPPINESS AND JOY: Rainbows commonly represents the beauty that comes after a storm or rain. Couples interested in a rainbow wedding can use this idea to show that they have finally found "Joy and Happiness" in their love; despite the trials, tribulations, and 'storms' of the outside world.
• CHRISTIAN SYMBOLISM: For those who are Christians, a rainbow wedding can definitely be significant to the symbol used in the Old Testament to signify God's promise to his people: "I am putting my rainbow in the clouds as the sign of the agreement between me and the earth" (Genesis 9:13 NIV). A rainbow wedding can be represented as the couple's faith or of their marital union.

So let's check out some rainbow items that can be used in the wedding.....

THEME OF THE DAY: RED CORAL

Since we're getting into doing more Destination Weddings, I've decided to do some research to post ideas, decor, and inspirations for those either planning or interested in having a Destination Wedding in the future. Our theme for today is "Red Coral"! I think its very simple, vibrant, chic, and very modern.

During my research, I found some fabulous photos of cake, reception design layout, and decor to use for your destination wedding or event.

Love this idea! These are faux coral that came from the Z Gallerie. The invitations down below comes from http://www.paperaffair.com/ and the note cards comes from http://www.invitationconsultants.com/ in case you're interested in purchasing them.

Here are some interesting candles as well! They can be found at http://www.thisnext.com/ and Plum Party.

I absolutely love this wedding cake and reception layout from "In Style Weddings"!!! It's very elegant, simple and chic! Perfect for a destination wedding or Sweet 16 birthday theme as well.

Also from the Z Gallerie, check out their pillow and napkin holder.
