Looking Ahead to Spring Weddings
It is just too bloody cold out there - 9am and it is only 1 degree and about -15 with the windchill! Can you say BRRRR?? We haven't had a ton of snow this winter but we have been so cold it is ridiculous! So, I've decided I'm skipping ahead to Spring! Take that Old Man Winter! (so what if it is only in my mind - at least for 10 minutes I will pretend to feel the sun on my face and the warmth on my skin - like a lizard I just want to bask on a rock!)
So what do I think of when it comes to spring? A gentle sun, green grass, baby animals, sweet bird song and flowers! What better inspiration could you have for your own special day? A spring wedding has so many possibilities - an outdoor rustic theme, an English Garden, Love Birds, or even your favorite flower.
Here are a couple of my favorites:

How to Plan a Beach Wedding Theme: video
How to Plan a Beach Wedding. Beginning with your beach or destination wedding invitations, your theme can help you pull together your whole chic look. Learn more at www.NoteableExpressions.net
How to Choose Your Wedding Colors
Your wedding color scheme is one of the first major decisions you need to make for your wedding. Keep in mind that your wedding color scheme is going to show up everywhere throughout your wedding. The flowers, bridesmaid dresses, table linens, decorations, invitations, even the favors will all be influenced by the wedding color scheme you choose. Your wedding color scheme will help establish the mood for your wedding. You can even build a entire wedding theme around the wedding color scheme.
With so much riding on this decision, it is really important to put careful thought into your wedding color scheme very early in the wedding planning process, and select a color scheme for your wedding that really reflects who you are, or what mood you are trying to convey.
This guide will help you find the perfect color scheme for your wedding.
Your wedding color scheme should be in keeping with your overall personal style. If you're like most people, though, trying to define your personal style may not be straight forward. Unless you work in fashion or design, chances are that when you shop for clothes or decorate your home you simply buy what appeals to you, without giving much thought to the overall aesthetic that guides your choices. Subconsciously, however, most of us do have fairly consistent style, and once you learn what that is, picking the perfect wedding color scheme for your wedding will be much easier.
Take a look at these four types of style, and see which one sounds the most like you:
Classic: Women with classic style tend to like things which are timeless, as opposed to trendy or very vintage. You would define your style as classic if you tend to gravitate towards clothing with clean lines - the types of pieces which are available year after year. So if your closet is filled with polo shirts, twin sets, and A-line skirts, you can safely call yourself a classic bride. You are the bride for whom pearl bridal jewelry sets were created. The best wedding color scheme for you will be the most traditional - pale, subdued or muted colors like white, pale pink and ivory, or pale blue and white. Preppy girls would also fall into this category, and their perfect wedding color scheme would be pink or mint green (with plenty of patterns like stripes, polka dots, or plaids) or blue, white, and yellow (with a nautical flair).
Dramatic: You carry only one shade of lipstick in your purse: pure red. You like strong perfumes with warm and spicy notes. You own at least one article of clothing with an animal print (and possibly a whole zoo!). If this sounds like you, consider your wedding style to be dramatic. Rich dark colors like eggplant and blood red are ideal for a dramatic bride. Your wedding color scheme needs to make a splash and have a high "wow" factor. The high contrast pairing of deep red and pure white (think red roses and a white bridal gown) will be right up your alley. Another excellent wedding color scheme for a dramatically inclined bride is deep purple combined with regal gold.
Eclectic: This can cover a range of styles. There are brides who love all things vintage, those with earthy or natural tendencies, and women who appreciate a good dash of whimsy. If you find yourself spending more time in vintage shops than the mall, you will like dusty color palettes like cameo and ivory or mauve and dove gray. If you are planning an eco-wedding or consider yourself most at home in the great outdoors, opt for a wedding color scheme inspired by nature. Moss-green and mushroom-brown, slate blue with taupe, or sage green and ivory will all appeal to your inner naturalist. The whimsical bride is one who gravitates towards things like letterpress invitations with a retro bird motif or shops like Anthropologie. If chunky hand-knits are more your style than buttoned-up pearl bridal jewelry sets, then you will like wedding color palettes such as red and pink, apricot and robin's egg blue, or mustard and aqua.
Festive: How do you know if your wedding style is festive? You probably find yourself saying, "I just want everyone to have a great time" when anyone asks you what type of wedding you want. The chances are that you like relaxing with friends or going out to clubs more than almost anything. The best wedding color scheme for a festive wedding is one which is bright and cheerful, never stuffy or pretentious. Color scheme like fuchsia and orange, hot pink and chartreuse, or sunshine yellow with orange will create the upbeat party atmosphere that you want for your wedding. Eat, drink, and be merry!

Geometric curves and motifs are key details in an art deco themed wedding. Capturing all that was great about the roaring twenties, an art deco theme compliments the current Great Gatsby and vintage wedding trends.

How to Throw an Anti-Valentine's Day Party
Not every Valentine's Day party has to be sweet. Whether you have a broken heart or are just celebrating being single. Why not have an Anti-Valentine party?
As these parties are becoming more and more popular, there are some fun decorations and ideas out there!
Start with some fun invitations -

See other Valentine Invitations
The best color for an Anti-Valentine's Day get together is black. Make black broken hearts with black poster board or construction paper and hang them from the ceiling and on the wall. Then place lone black candles throughout your home.
Although the tone should remain upbeat, don't hesitate to modify some Valentine's decorations to serve your party's theme with some dark, albeit whimsical, humor. Aside from the obvious ripped-heart image, a decapitated cutout of cupid, for example, may be the perfect theme to use as your party's motif. If you have the resources at your disposal, you may also combine Valentine's and Halloween decorations together. Illustrate your home with random scenes of bats attacking cupid, vampires biting hearts, or even Frankenstein's Monster and his bride attempting some sad attempt at swapping Valentine's gifts. If you're willing to make an even more demonstrative I-refuse-to-take-this-so-called-holiday-seriously statement, leave two jack-o-lanterns on your front porch, pseudo-facing each other, grinning maniacally, with heart shapes cut out for eyes. Bottom line: Put a tongue-in-cheek spin on the clichéd Valentine's images.
Lay down the rules
An Anti-Valentine's Day party isn't the place to cry with all your single girlfriends about why you don't have a man in your life. It's a time to celebrate being single with both your guy and gal pals. So lay down some ground rules -- no talking about your ex or being in love, no wearing red or pink and no consuming chocolate, champagne or roses.
Feast with (sensible) abandon
An Anti-Valentine's Day party wouldn't be complete without a buffet of comfort food. Serve a variety of "bad for you" foods like cookies, ice cream and cupcakes, and "bad for a date" foods like garlic bread or onion dip. Don't let this anti-love occasion be the ruin of your waistline, however; enjoy your eats in moderation.
