So This is Bliss :: A Northwest Wedding Blog by Luxe Event Productions: Luxe Style

There are so many different styles in the holiday season that it's really fun to use the winter season as inspiration. For example this {Inspired by the Season} Luxe Style wedding inspiration board is all about modern twists on a retro holiday. Using the white faux Christmas tree as our color and image of inspiration here is what I suggest to pull this all together...

Colors:: Royal jewel tone blue, vintage aqua with touches of cheerful pinks and passionate reds
Energy:: Retro holiday nostalgia with a colorful modern twist. Fashion forward, playful and flirty.

Attire Suggestion::
Even though this is for a winter wedding I suggested a short bridal gown. It's so flirty and sexy alongside a jewel tone blue cocktail dress -the girls will look chic and trendy while the men hold the classic stance with a clean black tuxedo and velvety red necktie.

This Karalyn Style from the Vineyard Collection
is in the board, but really there are many short styles
that would work just as well.

Or like this Romona Keveza dress. Short, sassy and modern.

Signature Cocktail Suggestion:: Blue Swoon
Ingredients::
1 oz. blue curaçao liqueur
1 oz. apple juice
4 oz. champagne or Prosecco
½ oz. Rose’s Lime Juice

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake. Strain into a martini glass. For a sweet touch, line rim of glass with sugar and garnish with a slice of green apple.

Guest Favor Suggestion:: Snowflake shaped holiday cookie.
You can make your own and get all the gals in one place to make these festive treats from scratch by using one of these recipes::
