pantone recently announced the 2014 color of the year, radiant orchid. it’s a unique blend of purpley and pink hues that create this vibrant color that really can only be described as radiant orchid (trust us, we’ve tried to pinpoint exactly what this shade is called and couldn’t think of anything better than radiant orchid!). it is such a bold color choice and many of you might be asking how can this color be used effectively (aka beautifully) in weddings. our answer, when going bold compliment with another bold color. we decided to showcase inspiration of a radiant orchid and turquoise wedding for your viewing pleasure. what do you think of this year’s color of the year?

amy and drew wanted a relaxed and fun september wedding surrounded by the beautiful blue ridge mountains. they chose the one and only lake lure inn to host their purple and platinum affair. they infused love, laughter and a good time into their wedding!

of all the fun details, i think our favorite is the sweet message amy wrote to her father on a baseball, which has special meaning for them. but the embroidered converse are a close second!

mallory is a corporate planner, a really good planner. planning this wedding was a breeze with the incredibly detailed and organized spreadsheets we shared back and forth. set at the always beautiful nc arboretum, mallory and david chose to have their ceremony on the baker lawn, which before them had never been done before. the ceremony turned out amazing and was definitely the perfect place for their i do’s. mallory wanted a rustic elegance feel for her day and her wedding was just that. from the blooms to the personal touches, this wedding was rustic elegance in all it’s gorgeousness.

it couldn’t have been a more beautiful fall day as the backdrop for their wedding.

their guests sure knew how to party and have a good time!

one of our favorite images! just look at the love between them! swoon!

we are busy bees in the office these days with all our spring weddings!  so we thought we would take a look back at a wedding last fall as we are also working on details of all our fall season weddings coming up!

brittany from our team headed up jaymie + brad’s wedding at the always beautiful homewood last fall …and what a beautiful october day it was!  check out some of our favorite images below from The Beautiful Mess photographers!

homewood has such a beautiful entrance for the bride!  jaymie started down the aisle by herself, and her dad met her about halfway down.  so sweet.

 

Love this image from right after the ceremony!
