Style Wednesdays~ Black+White Wedding Attire!

There is something about a "black tie" event.... so formal, with a crisp, clean colour palette.   Adding to the classic black look, is what you wear to the event!  

Ladies - you're going to love this!!!  Today we are sharing some classic looks as well as some twists on the black party dress! Also we can't forget the accessories!!!

Enjoy!

How about this pair?

  

 We are in love with the back of this dress!!!!!!!!!!! 

  

  

   

These next two dresses...... Jaw-dropping!!!!

  

  

So many choices!!!!  How does a lady choose???!!! 

It's even harder if you add a pop of colour to the mix!  We are fans of the black and white wedding style but the extra pop of colour just takes the whole vision one notch further!

What do you think?

  

Hope you enjoyed today's lovely eye candy!

Are black and white the colours for you?

Happy Planning!

Textured Cakes take the spotlight!

Decadent creations that please the palette are definitely my cup of tea!  

One of the more important elements of a wedding reception that involves some creativity and planning is the beautiful Wedding Cake!

In general, wedding cakes have come a LONG way from the simple rectangular slab served after dinner.  There is SO much you can do when creating the cake of your dreams.  You can pretty much order any shape, size and colour that your little sweet tooth desires.

  Gone are the days of plain, smooth frosting.  Eye-catching textures and dimension are taking this art form to a new level.

Check out these AH-mazing creations that definitely "take the cake"!  

Which one would you like to satisfy your craving?  Let us know!

~ Happy Planning! ~

This one is so unique!!!!

 

~Tip Tuesdays~ Out of the Box Bouquets!

What a busy summer it was!  We will be blogging about our goings on in the next little while so stay tuned!  Beautiful wedding images are on the way!

We did have the pleasure of exhibiting at the Your Day Your Way Bridal Show at the end of August.  A small group of wedding professionals from the area gathered to talk to brides + grooms about everything wedding. 

Style & Elegance had a moment near the end of the show to talk to some of the other businesses that were there.  We especially loved what Out of the Box Bouquets had to show us! 

We instantly fell in love with the concept of alternative wedding bouquets!  Specializing in paper flowers, Out of the Box Bouquets can create various pieces to help you achieve your wedding vision! Bouquets, pomanders, corsages, boutonnières, centrepieces, hair pieces, napkin rings, chair cover clips, backdrop embellishments, etc. The possibilities are endless!  If you can dream it they can create it!

Whether you are looking for a classic, trendy, or romantic feel, Out of the Box Bouquets can create custom designs that will undoubtedly blow you and your guests away!  Best of all, paper flowers last forever!  How great is that!
