guava

the bridesmaids are wearing the color "guava" for this wedding. how rich and awesome is that color name? i love the dresses without even seeing them. this may have something to do with the fact that i make a mean guava and champagne punch so maybe that's coloring (pardon the expression) my feelings. as early summer gives way to mid to late summer the colors of our brides are becoming brighter but also richer. it's almost as though the brides that preceded went with a more muted palate and slowly everything's changing just like the seasons. (caveat here: this is not an across the board statement. some of our brides have done the exact opposite of what i just said).

the aisles were lined with simple stainless steel buckets that had a burst of cheerful colors...yellow sunflowers, white, orange and fushia roses. the bride's bouquet had those same flowers and colors with the addition of calla lilies freesia. jane's trademark simple and polished but lovely and sweet.

man, now i'm thinking about that guava punch!
