I love fall. The leaves turn to a intense orange and yellow hue (which are my favorite colors) and the air gets crisp. Here in Florida we don’t really get fall. Only a few trees change color and the air remains humid but it’s still my favorite time of year.
This season’s palette and produce can create such a lovely wedding. We got married in November and used the season’s colors to inspired our wedding look. Here’s a few ideas on how to incorporate fall into your big day.
1. Orange ties and gold buttoniers via Ruffled. 2. Calligraphy on pumpkins via Pinterest. 3. Fall leaf garland via Martha Stewart Weddings. 4. Silhouette painted pumpkin via Birch and Bird. 5. Lovely at first sight dress via ModCloth. 6. Pie dessert bar with photo garland via Pinterest. 7. Vintage-inspired pumps via Zappos.
I absolutely love the summer time. The watermelon and berries are the sweetest, cotton dresses are the comfiest, and so many products are available in bright, cheery hues. This image reminds me that summer is just around the corner and I would love to use this citrus color palette in a kitchen, perhaps with ivory countertops.
As many of you know, I love horses. So I was naturally drawn to this photo because of its subject. Beyond the focal point, I just love the colors. The palette I created from this photo has hints of spring and the hues of the 1960′s. I can see this palette used in both a young girls room and vintage-inspired living room or office. Where would you use this combination of colors?
It’s Wedding Wednesday and today I collected some great items to create a fall inspiration board. We used the above color palette plus gray for our wedding. Is anyone else using this palette for your wedding (or maybe home)?

Want an easy way to dress up your Halloween candy? Here’s a Halloween craft that anyone can do! With just a few supplies you can make cute, festive treat bags.
1. You will need:
• Candy
• Clear candy bags (I bought mine at Joann’s for $4.99/100)
• Stapler
• Ruler
• Construction or scrap booking paper cut to 4″ x 3″ rectangles (1/bag, so cut as many as you need)
• Pencil
• Bonefolder (not required, but awesome for making the folds)
• X-Acto knife (used for cutting out the squares, you can use scissors if you feel more comfortable)
• Washi tape, stamps, stickers… anything you want to use to decorate the bags!
2. On the short side of one paper rectangle, mark the center (1.5″).
3. Using the bone folder and the mark you just made to score the paper, parallel to the long side.
4. It should look like this.
5. Now use the bone folder to fold the paper in half (hot dog fold… it you remember that from kindergarten days).
6. Fill the bags with candy and place the folder paper around the top of the bag like the photo above. Staple the paper and bag together using two staples.
7. Use whatever you like to decorate the bag (I used washitape) and repeat the steps for each bag. Happy Halloween!
