Your Wedding in Ultra Violet | Pantone Color of the Year 2018 by Amy

3/15/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
The 2018 Pantone color of the year is ultra violet and our eyes are absolutely
delighted! What’s even better, this is the perfect rich color for a wedding. Here are a
few simple ways you can incorporate it into your big day.

Bridesmaid dresses – This is the easiest way to get violet into your color scheme.
Not to mention your bridesmaids will look absolutely gorgeous in this color!

Reception – The possibilities are endless! You can have violet lighting to set the
mood of the venue. Or go all out and dress up the reception tables. Violet tablecloths,
violet candles and jewels, maybe even some violet flowers.

Invitations – Get the violet party started with the perfect invitations. Our Carlson Craft
Midsummer Dream Seal ‘n Send in violet is perfect for a couple wanting to use this
color on a budget. Our Wedding Day Grandeur Invitation is also a great match with
violet ink and a violet backer.

Drinks – Serve a fun signature violet cocktail to guests during your reception! And
don’t forget to provide your guests with the perfect violet napkin with your names
and wedding date on them!

We’re Loving: Enchanted Pocket Invitations

10/25/2017

0 Comments

Vibrant. Floral. Stylish. Sounds like everything your wedding should be.

And every wedding needs the perfect invitation! Our personal favorite is Carlson Craft's Enchanted Garden – this pocket invitation is beyond beautiful.

Tie it into your special day by having your bridesmaids wear floral dresses and all the bouquets have roses
with greenery peeking through. 

For happy hour, serve champagne and hors d’oeuvres and allow guests enough time to socialize. On tables, place elegant bouquets of roses and greenery with tea candles around the table for a nice glow. Light up the venue with lights and tulle. 

Dazzle the cake to the max with layers, frosting ruffles and of course more flowers. With a wedding like this, guests will be talking about all it for years to come!
