It! Inspiration: Tangerine and Lime Green

 - by It! Weddings & Events
This fresh color combination practically screams SUMMER! We love how these contrasting hues bring out the best in each other — much like a marriage! Mixing textures like wheatgrass, fresh citrus and bold poppies, lillies, roses, spider mums, protea and gerber daisies also add an organic feel to the mix. Here are a few snap shots to get you inspired:

Brittany and Bryan wanted to blend an elegant, formal reception with a relaxed beach ceremony. And what could be more fitting than Fort Lauderdale beach wedding? With a color palette comprised of black and a soft gold to create elegance at the reception (and  ice luge to help break the ice!), the newlyweds celebrated their “I do’s” with their closest family and friends at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa.

It! Inspiration: Honeysuckle

 - by It! Weddings & Events

We It! Girls can’t help but love to standout in the boldest colors (as if our personalities weren’t bold enough). One of our favorite look-at-me hues, honeysuckle, will make any gal (or gala) glow with confidence and vibrance. Whether used in a pattern, print or matched with a solid, this reddish pink is this year’s It! color. Even Pantone agrees! They named it their 2011 color of the year.

So as your host for this evening, we thought we’d let you in on one of our most prized secrets: How to set an informal/formal It! table.

It! Inspiration: Butterfly Wedding

 - by It! Weddings & Events

As if sent on the wings of love, butterflies symbolize new beginnings and call to mind childhood fairytales. Kick off this boho chic theme with a post-ceremony butterfly release (don’t worry, no harm will come to the critters), then incorporate some of these fabulous details inspired by Mother Nature:
