2011 CCWP Wedding & Special Events Faire!

Color Combos Galore!

So for you brides that are still on the fence about what your official wedding colors will be- THIS is the entry for you!

Having gone back and forth myself regarding my wedding colors....I know that it's a big decision! It requires a lot of forward thinking...do these colors exist in nature for flowers? dresses? linens? invitations? Falling in love with a shade is useless if you can't find a way to use it on the big day!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

I thought it would be fun to honor Dr. King today by showing off a photo of his wedding day!

I love that Coretta is rocking that giant corsage! And MLK Jr. in the all white...very dapper! 

Martin and Coretta were married on June 18, 1953 on the lawn of her parents' home in Marion, Alabama. Martin's father, the Reverend King, Sr., performed the wedding ceremony.
