Find Your Wedding Colors

One of the first steps in the wedding planning process is choosing your wedding colors. There are a million different combinations but only one palette that is perfect for you. Think about shades that will go well with your venue. For example, if you are having an outdoor wedding consider the setting surrounding the ceremony. What shades will make the area stand out? It’s also important to consider the season you are getting married. Some shades look beautiful in the winter but lose their elegance in the summer.  

Here are some color combinations to get you inspired. You will find shades for every season and location. See what colors stand out to you and then play around with different combinations. We hope these color palettes help you design your dream wedding! Have fun planning!

6 Ways To NOT Be a Stressed Out Bride

We are not going to lie and tell you that wedding planning is all smiles and excitement. It takes a lot of work to plan a magical wedding day of your dreams. There are many decisions, deadlines and responsibilities that tend to fall on the bride’s shoulders. Instead of reaching for cookie dough or simply not eating anything at all, deal with your stress in a more productive way.

At Wedding and Party Network our vendors have years of experience working with brides. They have given us many suggestions on how brides can avoid stress during their engagement season. Take a look at what you can do to have a stress-free wedding planning experience.

1.Say no to the DIY projects
With Pinterest and Instagram it’s easy to get caught up in a long list of projects that you want to get done for the wedding. DIY projects are a great way to save money but typically add to a bride’s stress level. Although it is tough to admit, sometimes it is worth it to spend a little bit of money on an item even if you know you could do it yourself.

2. Eat right
This is especially important the month of your wedding. As the day approaches if you start to feel overwhelmed don’t indulge in junk food or not eat anything at all. Keep healthy snacks in your kitchen that you can grab when you need a stress reliever. We also suggest keeping a water bottle on your person at all times. Staying hydrated keeps headaches away and helps your skin stay clear.
