{Eye Candy} Wedding Inspiration: Purple/Green

With all the buzz on the Royal Wedding and the magic and wonder that seemingly surrounds it, we thought it would be fun to put together an inspiration board that is not only predominantly purple and green, but helps to showcase that magical--almost fairytale like--type of Spring wedding.

As shown in the inspiration board below, there is a sense of softness in the hues of color, but also in texture through fabric and floral selections. The drama, as pictured in the ceremony shot below, is also soft and perfectly suited for any princess bride.

What colors would you envision using as a Spring princess bride?

Tuesday Shoesday: Red Hot with a Floral Feature

                   

 

Check out these Valentino beauties!

Which of the two is YOUR favorite? 

I really love #TuesdayShoesday ... I feel like I'm window shopping and I just love it every week!

LEFT SHOE:  Made of 100% lambskin, this shoe brings an edgy, modern look to one's ensemble.  Would look amazing with a black pencil skirt and red lips to match, IMO!

RIGHT SHOE:  Made of 90% suede, 10% silk, this shoe is my personal favorite out of the two. I just love the way the floral application sits on this one and I'm really diggin' the suede! (Although I'd take both...!)

Tuesday Shoesday: Meet Sofia Etoile

Meet Gucci's oh-so-sassy Sofia Etoile.

I'd call on Miss Sofia to add on that extra glam for any fabulous party or black tie affair! 

This stunning, open toe platform pump offers all that AND some.  

4.1" heel with a 0.8" platform.

Wedding Wednesday Feature: D'Amico Entertainment!

60 Ridgedale Ave Unit 7 East Hanover NJ 07936

D'Amico Entertainment is run like a “white glove”, “boutique” environment, where your affair doesn’t get lost in a sea of other events. You’re more like family than just another event on a calendar. They believe in quality of shows here not quantity.

D'Amico Entertainment's President, Chris D'Amico, is no amateur in this industry:

• Chris is a successful: vocalist, pianist, songwriter, DJ, MC using all of his talents to provide people with a unique entertainment experience he created over 10 years ago called The DJ “Alive” show.
• Chris's original bands have opened up for many famous acts such as the Foo Fighters and Hootie and the Blowfish.
• Chris's band Mr. Blue was a featured up and coming band on WDHA 105.5 in 1997.
• Chris played a “Grammy” after party with his last band “Daze of Rain” and Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish at the famous Rainbow Room in NYC and was introduced by Springsteen drummer and Conan O'Brian band leader Max Weinberg.

D'Amico Entertainment also holds their entertainers to a higher standard, not just anyone can be an entertainer there, and therefore, only a handful of selected entertainers are capable of running The “DJ Alive” package. They take pride in every event produced and it’s in that quality that has allowed them to perform this show in NY, NJ, PA, VA, DEL, MA, CT, FLA and soon at booked weddings in Vegas and Key West. (Yes, they travel) 

This company is about making your party the “event” they will talk about for years to come. In order to do that it all starts with what happens BEFORE your event.

D'Amico Entertainment has implemented a client management system. By using it you are able to:
        • Have your own unique log-in and password
        • Plan your affair with forms tailored to your event
        • View and make payments online 
        • Request music

Their goal is success from the beginning of your experience with them, not just the event itself.

Feel free to contact them with any questions at (973)585-6150 or via their website.  Let 'em know "No Limit Events" sent ya!

Tuesday Shoesday: Farfalla Tiffany Blue

                        

                         The above images were found directly on Aruna Seth's website. Aruna Seth reserves all rights to these images.

Meet the exquisite Farfalla Tiffany Blue satin shoe. 

I came across these gorgeous shoes on Aruna Seth's website.  As their site states, these are:

"The perfect crystal clear turquoise blue colour for an elegant wedding style.  Butterfly shoes…with a celebrity following."

This image found here

The elegant, sparkling crystal butterfly embellishment above the peep toe portion of the shoe brings classy to a whole new level.

The signature Aruna Seth curve feathers the foot for elegance.  Extremely comfortable due to the Aruna Seth special padding.

The shoes have a 110mm heel height with platform.

This style sells out fast so please contact them to reserve your size.
To speak to one of their fashion advisers: info@arunaseth.com or +44 (0)208 773 7859 Private appointments are available at The Cadogan Hotel, 75 Sloane Street, London or The Capital Hotel, Basil Street, London.
