Hi, everyone! Cyd from The Sweetest Occasion here. As a color junkie I’m loving Color Week and am really excited to be contributing this pretty color palette. Inspired by an earthy yet feminine feel, I chose a palette of aqua, peach and berry accented with soft neutrals. I love the pairing of simple materials with warm wood grain. A tiny …

Wouldn’t peach marmalade be an adorable wedding favor? I thought so too.  However, even though I consider myself a good cook, I’ve never canned anything in my life and I know it’s a cumbersome process. I envision something cute like, “Marni and Matthew’s Marmalade” on the label with stripes and a grosgrain ribbon. The thought just makes …

While I love the fall (it is my favorite time of the year), I don’t necessarily love the fall at my wedding. When meeting with my florist (The Garden Gate) I was very clear in while this is a fall wedding… it is NOT a Fall Festival. This is a bit of a challenge since we are getting married …

Pink is a popular wedding color – for me it’s got so much personality. It can be vivid, bright and darling or sweet and soft. Here are some of my favorite inspiration boards featuring pink, including the board I’m using as inspiration for my wedding!

Pink and Gray

Here is the one I am using for my color scheme.  I created this …

Last Sunday it really hit me. Not so much the “wow, we’re getting married” part…it was more a realization of how many people are going to be a part of the day. Sometimes I still get so wrapped up in the planning that I forget how cool this whole wedding thing is.

My mom, two of my bridesmaids, and I went …

Call me a romantic, but pink and red is one of my favorite color palettes.
