Beiges, tans, soft browns.  Not too over done.  For example, vest with no jacket or jacket with no vest or tie or lastly just a tie over white shirt and slacks.

Beach Mrs.
Why?
The romantic ready made scenery of the sun, waves and ocean air speaks for itself.  Taking a swift getaway to Florida or a more exotic beach with your family and friends or cruising down the highway to your local beach is a very relaxing place to wed.  Group rates are a great way to save for a big wedding.   Dressing for this special occasion is simple.  Glamorous beach weddings are on deck but the classic beach bride is wearing a versatile dress that is not only comfortable but can be worn again to another occasion.  For the footwear, sandals are a must but if you are a barefoot bride some foot jewelry is a must.  Grooms can present as casual as shorts and button down short sleeves or a shirt and slacks.  No monetary pains with this theme.  The beach is free and can be adorned with elements of the sea to make an eye catching display for your guests.  Evening beach weddings are surrounded with starry nights and tented beach weddings can also have starry nights on the ceilings.

Why?
The scene is already set in nature.  Winter brides can break out the furs and long gloves to protect them from the cold. Diamond snowflakes, bright whites and furs oh my!  Autumn brides can take advantage of the changing leaves in her décor. The golds, reds and oranges come alive for the occasion.   Summer brides have the sun in full swing for their special day and spring brides have the benefit of all the beautiful flowers in fresh bloom.  The décor is easy to create using the natural surroundings of the season.  Colors choose themselves for the seasonal bride.  Winter asks for whites, sky or cobalt blues and silver to accent your winter wonderland dream.  Autumn brides have the bright colors of the leaves to surround their guests in a feel of harvest.  Spring brides have a choice of the bright yellows, pinks, light blue and deep greens to share with the summer bride

We are totally obsessed with signature drinks.  From drinkporn, tipsy bartender and facebook our love of everything in a glass for events is the easiest way to put your own personal touch on your event and save money.  Instead of having an open bar or a small selection of bottom shelf spirits, take some inspiration from this list of signature drinks we love.  After, check out our exclusive diy drink infusion list and let us know which drink you want to see at our annual bridal show this winter.

Bathtub Gin
A southern favorite among diy brides, this classic brew consists of your favorite ingredients. A great idea for big barn weddings, backyard wedding or casual beach occasions.
 Here is how it is made;
A old time bathtub can be brought from a second hand store or plumbing warehouse.  The personalized mason jars are filled with at least three different kinds of gin concoctions and labeled as such. Add cans of your choice of beer.  The tub is filled with ice, filled and labeled jars, beer  and the scene is set.  Make your own labels in your computer and buy the mason jars in bulk to save on the budget.
