Black & White wedding dresses and holiday windows

“Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second.” ―  Mattie Stepanek

This week, we’ve been browsing the internet with a designer’s eye. There’s been so much interesting color and contrast to love, we collected it here to share with you!

Like amazing black and white wedding dresses. These are done so very well.

Holiday displays! We love them so.

Hidden treasures of MOMA, according to art critic Jerry Saltz.

Why are blue velvet couches so great?

How do you organize your books? May not be the most practical, but arranging by color is the prettiest.

How pretty is this little eye shadow collection? It’s so shimmering and jewel-like.

And of course, there’s this.

Our featured image is Macy’s holiday window.

Have a colorful and creative weekend, everyone!

non white wedding dresses & the vera wang color collection

Why should the bridesmaids have all the fun? Brides who love color can personalize their wedding looks with a splash of chic, festive color.

Here’s one of our favorite mood boards, from Brooklyn Bride.

And bridal goddess Vera Wand has just debuted a bridal collection full of color.

And fashion bible Lucky.com posted this cool slideshow of non-white wedding dresses.

If you love colorful bridal attire, you might just love color in your wedding rings. Here are a few options for rings with color, that are still timeless and refined.

In fact we love “Color” as a wedding theme. Just check out our featured image, from Green Wedding Shoes. We love guest portraits at weddings, when they’re done creatively. And these guests are just perfection. Pure sunshine on a cloudy day.

Trend We Love: Black Wedding Dresses & Details

It’s no surprise that so many luxury brands use the color black. It evokes sleek good taste and sophistication, and it goes with everything. It’s black tie and the little black dress.

We love basic black because it makes our diamonds really pop!

Remember when Mr. Big bought Carrie Bradshaw a black diamond engagement ring? It sent the message that he truly “got” her like no other man could.

Courtney from Brooklyn Bride put it this way, “If you’re looking for color scheme that’s truly effortless, black and white really is the simplest and most direct route to a chic and sophisticated event.”

Simple, chic and sophisticated is exactly what we love, so here’s our list of Black & White inspiration!

When we blogged about colored wedding dresses, we didn’t see this coming! Here’s Shenae Grimes in her daring black wedding dress.

And Brooklyn Bride’s perfect black and white mood boards.

We’re dying for these black and gold details!

Links We Love: French Polynesia & Doughnut Cake

Our friend posted on Facebook, “You can never hug and kiss your loved ones enough.” Which expresses our sentiments exactly. We want to spend this weekend holding our dearest near, and trying to spread a little kindness wherever the opportunity arises. Here’s where you can donate to those who’ve been affected by the tragic events on April 15th.

It’s a pretty major splurge, but we’d love to snuggle down with our family in these heart print sheets from D. Porthault. They could be a great wedding registry item.

The styling in this bridal-inspired fashion editorial in French Glamour is too edgy for most, but the accessories would be amazing on anyone.

These retro wedding cakes are some of the most original we’ve seen. They look kind of Midcentury Modern, no?

Want something a little less fancy? We’re dying for an occasion to make a doughnut cake.

Why are we so obsessed with cake? Because.

We blogged about Gatsby style here, and now Brooks Brothers has announced an entire Great Gatsby themed collection.

We love this rosé colored dress and mood board. We’d add this.

If you’re planning a beach honeymoon or just getting ready for summer, Beyoncé and H&M have some bikinis to show you. We love the photography and Bey’s womanly curves.

Where shall I wear them, you ask? Ideally, French Polynesia. Where the water is turquoise and the breeze is vanilla-scented.

We loved seeing the Orchid Show. If you’re near NYC, get there before it’s over!

We Love: Ombre Weddings

Keeping tabs on wedding trends is one of our favorite things, and ombre is one trend that clearly isn’t going anywhere. When done well, that subtle shift from deep to pale, or hue to hue is the loveliest. Maybe ombre hair is on its way out, but ombre wedding dresses, ombre wedding cakes and ombre bouquets? Still awesome.

Here are some perfect ombre flower arrangements via Grey Likes Weddings.

Gwen Stefani’s ombre gown is considered one of the best wedding dresses of all time.

And here come the (less famous, still gorgeous) ombre wedding dresses, via The Bold Bride.

Wouldn’t these make great ombre wedding favors?

Click through our slideshow above for some of the prettiest ombre wedding cakes. (Photos via Green Wedding Shoes and Brooklyn Bride.)

Want more? These ombre wedding cakes look pretty amazing, too.

So, are you still loving ombre? What do you think the next big wedding trend will be? Tell it in the comments!

We Love: A Colored Wedding Dress

Would you dare to forgo the classic white gown for a colored wedding dress? If three times make a trend, then colored dresses are a craze in Hollywood, since we’ve seen this almost a dozen times!

Trendsetting stars like Julianne Moore, Gwen Stefani, Portia De Rossi, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Cynthia Nixon, Emily Deschanel  and Amber Tamblyn all wore color, and we suspect it’s a trend we’ll see more of in the future.

Who wore it best? It’s Hollywood, so of course everyone looked uniquely amazing. We’re all about the refined simplicity, so we’re voting for Reese Witherspoon’s blush pink Chantilly lace Monique Lhuillier. Such a flattering color and classic silhouette could really work on anyone.
