This week, Wedding and Party Network's Inspirational Friday is all about sunflowers! An Autumn wedding is the perfect atmosphere for sunflowers. The warm yellows, and big dark centers, thick sturdy stalks, and over-all 'Sunnyness' that brings elegance and charm make it hard to resist!

These fabulous wedding flowers are perfect for your happy fall wedding. An outdoor wedding is ideal, especially one in an open field, garden, or park. The feel of nature is calming, down-to-earth and inspiring. You can use these energetic flowers alone or with other flowers to create eye-popping arrangements. Marigolds, gerbera daisies, roses and hydrangea look gorgeous mixed with sunflowers. Any combination is ideal for your wedding bouquet, wedding ceremony arrangements and definitely your reception centerpieces.  The key is to keep the arrangements simple – sunflowers are striking and demand attention, you don't need to do much to make these flowers look great!

Every Friday, Wedding and Party Network will be choosing a theme or color and give you inspirational photos. We want to help give you inspiration for your next event, wedding or party. So, take a look and we hope to give you a bit of inspiration when planning your wedding or party. Our inspirational board will give everyone inspiration on rainbow weddings! Who doesn't love a rainbow? Your wedding day is a day to celebrate the bond between you and your spouse. A day to celebrate your new journey together. So, what better way than to include vibrant colors to express your happiness? Between the invitations, food, decor, cake and clothing – you can arrange for a multi-faceted, one-of-a-kind wedding that reflects you and your bright personality.

Here are some great ideas to turn your Fall Wedding into a rainbow of delight.

Meshing together different colors can easily get out of hand, but knowing just the right amount can turn an average wedding into something your guests will never forget! You don't have to use every color in the rainbow, you can choose three or four colors, bright and vibrant colors. Then, just run with it.

Invitations: You will want your wedding invitations to look a little bohemian, with lightly muted, yet vibrant colors. Alternate the color of the writing with the color of the patterns and find a subtle but exciting in-between.

The Dress: You want your wedding dress magical for your perfect day. So, find a beautiful white or off-white dress and accent it with one of the colors from your scheme. A bright scarf around your waist, rainbow feathered hair clips, bright nail polish or beautiful rainbow jewelry will add just the right amount of flair. A bright pair of shoes will look fabulous peeking out from under your dress.

Bridesmaids and Groomsmen: Different color dresses will look great when matching the groomsmen ties or suspenders! Multi-colored sunglasses will add a nice touch for the groomsmen as well.

Flowers: Your flowers will tie everything together, especially when using all the colors from your theme. You can create lavish and vibrant centerpieces and wedding bouquets that will leave everyone with a smile.

Reception: If you are having an indoor reception, you can use different colored lights for the dance floor or have them shining on the walls to create a fun and bright atmosphere.

Menu: When choosing your rainbow menu, use brightly colored foods. Your desert and appetizers can include fresh fruit or a serve yourself candy buffet.

The Cake: If a rainbow cake is too much for you, you can create a beautiful and traditional wedding cake. However, the key will be to dye the inside of the cake with your wedding colors. No one will see the rainbow inside until you cut the first piece.

Music: A great version of Some Where Over The Rainbow will bring everything together.

Butterfly Release: Top it all off with a butterfly release. Release beautiful, bright, and vibrant colored butterflies to represent a new beginning for the happy couple.

Finding a color scheme for your wedding day can be tricky. The best way to start is by picking two colors that compliment each other and then adding accent colors as you go. However, have you ever wondered what the meaning behind the colors of your wedding might symbolize? You should! Each color represents a specific character trait. You want your wedding colors to show your personality and to inspire and shine.
So, make sure your wedding colors express you!

Of course, you have to consider the place and timing of your wedding when choosing a color palette. You don't want to have bright springy colors at your fall wedding or warm fall colors at your beach wedding! There are a few limits, but for the most part, your imagination and creativity are the only limit you have. Take a look at the meanings behind your wedding colors.

Wedding colors and the meanings behind them

• Red: Traditionally the color of love and passion.
• Pink: The color of universal love, romance and acceptance. Pink is delicate and caring.
• Orange: The color of healing, vitality and sincerity.
• Brown: Represents simplicity, warmth and comfort.
• Yellow: A cheerful color that expresses joy and happiness.

Whatever colors you choose, they need to be a representation of you and what you love. The colors of your wedding have a large impact on your wedding. Take your time and widen your imagination. In these times, nothing is off-limits. So, have fun and express yourself!

The First Steps In Wedding Planning

So, you're engaged! Congratulations! This is truly an exciting time. Now, don't freak out. You have plenty of time (maybe) and planning a wedding actually can be stress free. Wedding And Party Network is here to offer a few tips to help you start on the right foot. Remember to enjoy your wedding and all that comes with it, because it flies by in an instant.

Take It All In & Enjoy – Remember, this only comes around once. So, enjoy it. Take a breath and take it all in. You have the right to jump up and down and say you're engaged at the top of your lungs. Call all your friends and family, share it with all your Facebook friends, take pictures of your ring and admire it. Enjoy it all!

Purchase A Planner – Yes, you'll definitely need one of these to keep up with all the important dates. You'll have so much going on that there is a chance you can forget an important date. The planner will help you keep on track and keep all your meetings, showers and your wedding date in order. Plus, it'll save as a great keepsake memento that you'll enjoy looking back on.

Announce Your Engagement – Let everyone know you're engaged! There are many ways to do this, so choose which best suits your style. You can announce it in the paper or mail out announcements to your friends and family. There's no right or wrong way to do this, just share the special occasion with everyone.

Set The Date – This is one of the most important steps in planning your wedding. Do you want a spring, summer, fall or winter wedding? Remember, think about the elements you want to include in your wedding and think about the ideal time for the flowers you want, colors or food. Ask yourself what's your favorite season or what works best for your schedule? It's your day, have it when you want it!

The Theme – Once you have set the date, start looking at the type of wedding you want. Go through wedding magazines or blogs, like this one, to give you inspiration and great ideas. Choose a theme that represents you as a couple. You want it to show off your style and personalities. Once you have chosen what type of wedding you want, you can start planning the rest of the details.
