It's really is such a small world.
Randi Brookman Harris, Theresa Canning Zast, and I met while working at kate spade new york, but we have two other things in common: we've all also worked at Martha Stewart Weddings and we all had bold red weddings. Here are a few roundups of our red wedding ideas. What do you think? Do you have another take on red you'd like to share?

Next up in this week's opalescent palette series is a paper post from Sideshow Press.
Sideshow Press has been creating handcrafted, letterpressed goods since 2004. They design and press each piece individually on a noisy 1926 press, in a shotgun storefront in historic downtown Charleston. Reactivating the vintage press is a labor-of-love collaboration for the three women -- Amy Pastre, Courtney Rowson, and Virginia Gregg -- who've built careers around type, paper, found art, and design. When not designing amazing invitations and wedding papery, the ladies design for all other aspects of life under the name Stitch Design Co.
In this memorable letterpress suite, soft pinks and lavenders mingle with calligraphy by Elizabeth Porcher Jones and luxe materials, like Arturo papers and dupioni silk backing. Complete with lined envelopes, table numbers, escort cards, invitation, RSVP card, and reception card, it perfectly fits the bill for our opalescent series!
What do you think of this suite?
After all of the talk last week about the beautiful blue and green hydrangeas we received from California, I thought I'd share images of how we used them in a fabulous real wedding. Everything was perfect, and our clients enjoyed a gorgeous sunny day for their outdoor, tented event.
Here are images of the dining room all ready to go. The event was held at Caramoor in Katonah, New York, and Great Performances provided the delicious menu for cocktails, dinner, and dessert. I'm so in love with how elegant, classic, and chic the they look in the space, framed by rich wood tones in the farm tables and chairs. Blue flowers are incredibly elegant when paired with tones like chocolate brown, cream, and olive green.
Are you including a bright blue in your color palette? Let me know if you need any help making it work within your venue or within the general palette for your event.
Use these Bohemian dangling embroidery hoops in lieu of traditional centerpieces to create a memorable tablescape.
