Major Trend In Weddings: Yellow Is In!!!

This is so exciting that yellow is in!  I'm so excited for brides because I know they will save tons when it comes to designing their wedding.  Yellow works so well in lower cost venues such as farms and other rustic outdoor locations.  Yellow flowers are so beautiful when mixed with pale yellow, grays, and/or cream colors.  In fact, there are many color combinations that can be used with yellow:

Most common: Yellow, gray, burlap, cream
Others:

• Yellow, light green, green, light blue, blue
• Yellow, turquoise, burlap
• Yellow, orange
• Yellow, orange, hot pink
• Yellow, purple (Yes they are opposite colors and great for summer!)
• Yellow, purple, plum and fuchsia
• Okay the list goes on and on!

Below are just a few of my favorite yellow flower photos from Pinterest:

I absolutely love lavender and yellow in weddings!  Burlap and lace theme goes with that as well!

These photos are the inspiration for my next collection in lemon yellow and lavender with a touch of burlap coming in a few days!  I'm so excited about this!  If you have anything specific you would like to see please let me know at Jessica@citrinedesigns.com

Gerbera Daisy Arch Decor

I used to design wedding flowers for several years and LOVED it!  When it comes to gerbera daisies there are so many things that can be done with them when decorating.  If they are bought fresh the heads can be taken off and tied with pipe cleaners to tie up to arches and just about anything.  They can even be strung on burlap and hung in places.  Gerbera daisies can be tied to the cute wedding lights that are strung across many backyards.

Gerbera Daisy Bridesmaid Bouquet

Gerbera daisies are absolutely stunning when they are floated in a pond or water fountain.  Just take the stems off.  Below are pictures of some wedding bouquets I designed in the past.

For bridesmaid bouquets just a few gerbera daisies are needed and tied with green florist tape, and then tied around with ribbon that is pinned.  All of the items can be found at a local craft store.

Watercolor Painting Fun ~ Pink Tree Wedding Fan Programs

Watercolor painted tree by Jessica Mark

Watercolor painting is so much fun!  The tree looks so much more realistic than just digitally drawing one.  I love how many colors can be added all at once.

The Backyard Wedding Fan Program has now been updated.  This wedding fan program can be changed to many colors.  It has been updated to royal blue, lime green, purple, pink, and natural colors (including burlap).

Would love to know what I should watercolor next.  Any ideas?  Please comment below.

Rustic Valentine's Day Themed Heart Escort Card Display

This takes about 2-3 hours!  I've been designing a lot of rustic Valentine's Day themed stationery items.  I really enjoyed putting this escort card display together.  I picked up a lot of items at Michael's Arts and Crafts and then created away!  It works really great on any type of window shutters.  This could look even more rustic with rustic looking wood.  Below are DIY instructions for this project.  First I tied three long strands of burlap string (this string had a little bit of silver metallic in it from Michael's Arts and Crafts).

Rustic burlap heart escort setting

Then I printed up hearts on burlap colored cardstock paper and cut them out.  This paper was great because it looks somewhat recycled.  I used red and pink clothespins to attach the heart escort cards.

These can be purchased at http://citrinedesigns.com/products/heart-escort-card

If you prefer to just cut them out yourself, there is a discounted version here: http://citrinedesigns.com/products/customized-heart-escort-cards-sheet

Or if you prefer to write and cut them out here is another link: http://citrinedesigns.com/products/blank-heart-escort-cards-sheet

After attaching the hearts I took a brown marker and marked initials on pink flags and wooden hearts and then attached them with silver ribbon and pink/white Baker's twine.

Then I added a bunch of cut-out hearts from a cardstock page from a Valentine's Day mat pad that I picked up at Michael's Arts and Crafts.  They added some glitz and glam because they had metallic backgrounds.

Then I created some hand-made burlap flowers made of natural jute ribbons.  The outer layer of petals has some silver embedded in the jute.  I loved making these, so much fun!

Lastly I designed an instructions sign and tied it with burlap string above the display.  I used one red pin to hold it up.

Spring 2016 Wedding Trends

What will be the main wedding color trends for Spring 2016? I think pale pink or pale peach will be one of them. What do you think? I look forward to designing something new today. Do you prefer to be "off trend and be a little bit different" or "on trend with what looks nice for the season"? Add "A" for off trend or "B" for on trend.

The future outlook for Spring 2016

I see periwinkle and pale peach.  Oh so lovely in the Pinterest photo below:


I also see natural colored weddings because every year they become more popular.  What do you think of burlap and lace?  Is it still "In" or "Out"?  Creative font types and styles in wedding stationery has been increasingly popular.


Pale pink spring weddings are so exquisite and absolutely beautiful!


I love this wedding bouquet!  (pictured below)  So colorful and makes me think Spring all the way because of the light and powerful color tones.  What would you think of a wedding based off of this bouquet?  Of course this could work absolutely perfect for Summer 2016 as well...  Would this be at a beach or garden wedding?  I think it would work for both!
