As the ole’ saying goes, every bride needs something old, new, borrowed and blue (and, if we were living in the 19th Century right now, a sixpence in her shoe) for good luck. However, when it comes to the color blue, let’s be honest, there’s a huge spectrum to choose from. With that in mind, why not make your something blue a chic shade of navy? Elegant for all seasons, it evokes a nautical vibe during the Spring and Summer and works as a beautiful jewel tone in Autumn and Winter. And, it will not only fulfill one of your “somethings”, but also add another: something different! 

This month, as part of our Ask a Pro series, I got the chance to chat it up with Yena Jung, an event designer and featured florist in Macy’s Flower Show! As the founder of By Yena Designs in New York City and a bride-to-be (she’s getting hitched in three months!), Yena has lots of advice on how to pick the perfect posies for your big day.

When it comes to planning your wedding we know there is LOTS to do! Obviously, the fun stuff comes easier (dress shopping!), but what about the rest?

Enter, Lauren Carter of LOLA Event Productions in Chicago (a.k.a. wedding guru). She’s got the answers all your burning q’s!

Getting married? Most brides probably wouldn’t walk down the aisle bag in hand (it would really clash with the bouquet!). But, if you’re anything like me, it’s hard to part with your purse for a whole day – what about make-up touch ups or essential Facebook updates (“I’m married, woo!!”). And you certainly can’t work the room toting around your everyday leather satchel (seriously un-chic), which is why I’d like to present my fave clutches, to have and to hold…

When it comes to your Registry, many people focus on the things they’ll need to build their new home together (which is great!), but forget to add the things they’ll need when away from home. Or, more importantly, on their honeymoon – You can’t go on the most romantic vacation of all time without being prepared! To help all you newlyweds, I’ve rounded up the 5 essentials for the jetsetting duo, so you can focus on the fun stuff (like what to wear – or not! Wink wink).
