THOUGHTS TUESDAY: Pantone Color of 2015 Marsala

Today we are talking about the 2015 color of the year, Marsala, and how you can incorporate it in your wedding! According to Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of Pantone, "Marsala enriches our minds, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth" We couldn't agree more! We love the warmth and richness of Marsala, and we know it's going to be popular in weddings this year. Are you loving it, but unsure how to incorporate it into your big day? No problem! We hand picked our favorite bridesmaids dresses and accessories in a Marsala hue. From a-line gowns to polka dots, there are so many ways to wear this color, and it's universally flattering on every skin tone (a huge plus!).

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Marsala + Rebecca Schoneveld

We are so excited to be getting our Rosaline gown back in the shop! She was one of our best sellers last year, and we can see why. She features stunning lace, a sheer back, cap sleeves and the most beautiful train we have ever seen. She is designed by Rebecca Schoneveld, who is the master of lace and construction. Her gowns are exquisite, with detail and craftsmanship. We paired Rosaline with the Pantone 2015 color of the year, Marsala, a mix of dusty rose and burgundy. You can use Marsala in spring with pops of bright reds and golds, or in fall with burgundy and grays. Such a versatile color!

We will have a trunk show with all of the 2015 Rebecca Schoneveld gowns April 10th - 12th! If you are interested in a Rebecca gown we don't carry, this is the chance to try it on!

RENT THE RUNWAY: Bridesmaids Dresses

Today here to talk all about bridesmaids dresses. We do not currently carry any bridesmaids dresses... but that being said there is sort of a reason for that. Both of us love the look of mismatched bridesmaids more than anything. Give your girls a color swatch and let them find something not only that they love, fits them well but also something that they can afford and not have to save up for. So today I am here to share some of my favorite bridesmaids looks from Rent the Runway!! They can rent a dress that is fabulous, star-worthy and sassy.

1. First things first, "marsala" is 2015's Pantone Color of the Year. So why not dress your girls in the color of the year? Not the easiest of colors to match but any shades of maroon/scarlet/plum are a close match.

2. All black bridesmaids. This look is perfect for an evening wedding. Think lots of candlelight, a historic Savannah mansion (Brockington Hall anybody?), glamour, champagne, and fabulousness all around.

3. Little white dress. Okay, I know this one probably is not common at all but say your dress is blush pink. I personally think it would look badass to have your girls in white with you in a blush dress. Or maybe that's just my dream wedding dress look...!? Probably is... since I love anything non-traditional. Anyway, if you are not feeling the all white bridesmaids look that's fine, instead these dresses would also be perfect for the rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, or bridal showers!

4. Floral print. This one for Adrienna since she lives in floral print everything and anything. Perfect for the girly bride getting married in a romantic garden surrounded by blooms in all shades on a warm spring day. Sounds like heaven to me don't you think?

I challenge you to get creative, come up with a look you love and go for it. The unusual is not to be expected but will look so fantastic and don't you want your girls to look hot standing by your side? Happy Friday ya'll!!
