Blossoming onto the wedding scene are color blocked flower combinations and let me tell you, they are luscious and decadent. Color blocking is when one color is chosen and different kinds of flowers are picked to match the specific palette. For example, a bride can match up peonies, roses, hyacinths and tulips to complete her color blocked pink bouquet.

This method is gaining popularity for its simplicity and beauty. Brides are being drawn to color blocking because it brings an elegant yet modern feel to the big day. And might I add the combinations that brides/florists are picking are absolutely stunning.

After spending weeks, months, or even years planning your wedding, the day is finally over and the honeymoon is on the horizon! But if you’re like most brides who have been consumed with final dress fittings and confirmation phone calls, selecting your honeymoon wardrobe hasn’t exactly been a top priority.

Whether the two of you plan on sunbathing on the beaches of Cabo San Lucas or navigating your way through Europe, your clothing selections should be weather-appropriate, fuss free and comfortable. Your new hubby will hate nothing more than seeing and hearing you complain about your pack job.

The honeymoon is the start of your lives together, so why not look fabulous in the gazillion pictures you’ll be taking together! You’ll be happy you put some thought into that ruffled bathing suit or flowered mini sundress. Here are some of my destination-influenced picks.

Everyone knows lingerie is a big part of the honeymoon. Everyone also knows there’s a fine line between classy and not so classy negliges.

Whether you want a feisty or sophisticated collection for the steamy nights ahead, make sure you A. feel sexy in what you’re wearing and B. your choices are a reflection of you. If you usually have more of an edge to you, your new hubby will be a little taken aback if you show up with pink frills and lace.

Here are some tasteful ways to be naughty and nice.
