More to come throughout the day (literally every hour!)!
Our next entry in our Little Black Dress competition, “a rich, warm, monochromatic palette that allowed for a wide variety of textures and patterns and ended up being really drawn to the combination of African-inspired textiles and African-American wedding traditions…”

I am really excited about today’s post…so excited that I actually started working on it days ago which is a rare thing when you have a newborn! As some of your know, the FABULOUS Bluefly just launched their Weddings 2.0 site complete with a pretty killer array of bridesmaids dresses and accessories. Well, this got me thinking. How many different looks can one bridesmaids dress work with?
Take the Little Black Dress for example. Aside from the fact that your bridesmaids will love you, the LBD is such a classic look for your maids. One that you will always look back on as being incredibly chic, incredibly sophisticated. So for today, I thought we’d take the Little Black Dress and see just how many “styles” we can come up with!
We are interrupting Pink Week to let you know about Bluefly’s brand spanking new Weddings 2.0 site!! Filled with perfect picks for bridesmaids, groomsmen and guests, the new site is beyond fab. And guess what…I am lucky enough to be a part of their panel of experts! So, needless to say, you really have to check out the new site and their flypaper blog just as soon as you can!
Color Palettes Questions - An Accent For Navy and Sage Green
It’s been so long since we tackled color palette dilemmas…and I thought it was about time! Throughout the day, I am going to be posting questions from readers who are having some color issues with the hopes that you guys can give your feedback and advice! At the end of the day, I will update with my own tips!
Let’s get to it!
From Ashley…I have finally decided on the colors of the bridesmaid dresses, navy which is accented with a light sage green sash. Now, I really would like to include an accent color to add a little more flare to this color palette. I was thinking something along the lines of pink…but I am beginning to think that pink may be way too many colors. I am tossing around the idea of ivory or white as the third and final color for our wedding palette. Is this an appealing color palette or should I stick with the simple two color scheme of navy and sage??
…Lots and lots of yellow. I have no idea why, but today, I am all about the yellow. Maybe it’s that Summer seems to be flying by, or that it just happens to be a perfect morning here in Boston. Whatever it may be, I am absolutely nuts for this pretty yellow palette. Particularly for an outdoors wedding, using the natural elements to add additional whispers of color.
