Today, when our hearts are hurting, let’s remember to love each other the best we possibly can.
Spring is springing and Martha Stewart Weddings has a new issue coming out on Monday (or on your iPad now)! It’s their annual color issue, and we’ve got a sneak peek at the Perfect Palette story, cornflower blue and shades of melon inspired by an Aqua Panna water bottle…

A prayer for Newtown and for all our broken hearts.
I thought you all might get a kick out of this. When I was sixteen, my sister’s wedding was included in a National Geographic story about the flower trade. A photographer from National Geographic, Sisse Brimberg, took some shots at the wedding, and guess who made it into the article? Well, part of my face anyway.
You can see more about this article here or here, and more about the talented Michaele Thunen here (she did all of the gorgeous flowers for my sister’s wedding, including the bouquet in this photo).

Lauren is in the interesting position of holding her reception at the same location where two weeks later her good friend will be having her own wedding! She wants a traditional wedding, in apricot and green hues, and needed some inspiration for making it stand out from her friend’s wedding. Passing out miniature desserts (like the cotton candy here, or tiny milkshakes, or miniature pies) is a unique way to end dinner. A golf cart as a getaway car is a fun and slightly different way to depart.
Mood: classic with a twist
Palette: apricot, pale green
