1950's, Our Hats Are Off To You
One fashion that still has yet to come back with resounding popularity is hats. This small pictorial is just a pin drop view of the amazing embellishments of hats for women in the 1950s. Hats were always the completing touch to any wardrobe, until the early to mid-60s when flowers seemed to replace them. We now wear baseball caps, and sun blocking hats and other forms of accessories in our hair, bur not the high end fashion hats. We decided to take a peak back to some of those amazing and fabulous hats, from designers such as Frans Molenaar Couture and Jacques Fath.

Get Inspired!: Peaches N' Cream
One of the staples of summer is a ripe, juicy, sweet peach. Since peaches are basically only available in the summer, there is something treasure-like about them. They remind us of childhood days gone by, long summer days, and unadulterated happiness. So what better theme for your wedding than a good old fashioned peaches 'n cream wedding? Not only is it beautiful, but the sweet touches of peach you can add to your wedding tastes pretty darn good too.
Theme: Peaches N' Cream
Colors: Peach, Deep Purple or Black and Cream

An Apple A Day - Wedding Day
Now here's a color that is about as positive as they come. It's a fresh, clean, upbeat addition to just about any environment and what could be more ideal than say at a wedding. The theme itself is one that allows you to use your imagination in a far reaching approach to many items and options from favors to drinks, to even the cake. We tried to include a few of those above. The hot hot, SUPER hot peacock inspired wedding look fits right in this color range. You can spice it up with many shades of yellow or cool it down with fabulous retro- trendy teal blue. Want something more conservative or say even high-brow - add impeccable shades of grey or browns. Did you ever think of Apple green as a base color? Better start now.... it sure can be. Most of all have fun and send us your pictures. We would love to see your apple green wedding.

When A Budget Is Merely A Suggestion
Extravagance comes naturally to some brides, especially when budget is not a factor. Here are our top 5 most extravagant wedding themes that made our hearts go pitter-pat.
Extravagant Theme No. 1 :: Versailles Wedding Theme
Designed by San Deigo florist Karan Tran, over 300 fresh peonies were used to create just one tabletop!
Extravagant Theme No. 2 :: Green With Envy
Wildflower Linen's over-the-top garden wedding features a custom floral tent made of green orchids.
Extravagant Theme No. 3 :: Asian Art
Weddings held at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco are always extravagant, but this particular wedding with a $500,000+ wedding budget takes the cake. Featured at Platinum Weddings.
Extravagant Theme No. 4 :: Modern Glitz
This year at the Special Event conference, event designers presented their most extravagant themes and designs. This Modern Glitz wedding theme, may look like a minimalist's dream, but the rich fabrics and use of light make this wedding just the right amount of over-the-top-ness.
Extravagant Theme No. 5 :: Over The Horizon
There is nothing like a warm summer afternoon and a wedding overlooking the beach. With the natural beauty of the outdoors selecting the right wedding decor to complement and not distract is crucial. We love this wedding ceremony design by Karen Tran.
