We receive many photos (and testimonials)  from our destination wedding brides who were married in gorgeous, tropical locations.  Beach weddings are still very popular and of course we love that and hope it continues.   Still, there are many that have never heard of barefoot sandals.  There are those that feel flip flops with a wedding gown look fine and those that just prefer to go barefoot altogether.  Bottomless sandals are a matter of personal preference. 

We’d love to hear your comments on this subject – if you were planning a beach wedding and had the option of adorning your feet with sparkling jewels (while still being barefoot), would you choose barefoot sandals or nothing at all?  Post a comment below.

With palm trees swaying in the  breeze it’s a bit difficult to think of Fall approaching, especially on one of  San Diego’s warmest days!  But..now that school has started and clothing stores are phasing out shorts and tanks, to be replaced with pants and sweaters I decided to see what the fashionista’s have predicted for fall wedding colors.

Typical autumn tones will still play a part in Fall nuptials, however other very distinctive and bold shades are being forecasted.  Like purple!  Straight from the Pantone Color Fashion Report  of Fall 2009, their Purple Heart (18-3520) will play a big part in the coming months.  Imagine deep, lush, saturated shades of purple paired with honey neutrals and a dash of green for accent.  What an elegant wedding.

Red is always a lovely accent color for weddings and is also one of the top ten color predictions.  Red has always  been a very romantic color and so much can be done with shades of sultry red for bridesmaid dresses and decor.  Turquoise and greens with a hint of black are being shown in Fall wedding magazines.  And the rich, yellow-green of a martini olive paired with touches of red brick as accents will add a touch of sophistication.

Keep in mind these are trends and predictions.  What’s most important is that you choose colors for your wedding that reflect your personality and preferences.
