Color Me {Gold}

All that glitters isn't always gold. But, sometimes it is! Lately I've been giving in to the girly side of me. Glitter and gold and everything in between has been screaming my name. Usually the one to opt for an all black casual ensemble, I like to let the events take center stage. And, what screams center stage more than a metallic soiree filled with enough gold detailing to suit a king. While some may call it gaudy, I think a gilded color scheme with neutrals like ivory and soft petal pink make for a pretty classic combination. If you love the color combo but are a bit scared of all the glitter, all you really need is a bottle of metallic gold spray paint. Take the bottle to all you can get your hands on from chipboard letters to glass vases and more. You get the gilded effect without the mess and over the top feeling of glitter. 

Color Me {Peach}

I'm not sure if I've shared with you or not, but R has started to brew his own beer. It's been an adventure thus far and we've definitely made some errors and brewed some pretty interesting beers. Everything we've brewed up to this point has been a little darker and heavier than my liking. But, this past weekend, we finally brewed a beer just for me, a peach flavored wheat ale. My soon to be Southern Peach Ale has left me inspired, wanting to cover everything in shades of peach. This beautiful shade is the perfect combination of pink and orange. It's light, subtle, and a wonderfully refreshing shade for both spring a summer that can add a touch of glam when mixed with gold accents or feel a bit rustic with vintage wood details. Trying to take it glam? Metallic gold vases filled with peach peonies or gold leaf accents on invitations or escort cars adds the perfect amount of pop. Opting for a down home feel? Family style tables with long vintage boxes filled with peaches is just what the planner ordered! 

Hope this leaves you feeling just peachy!
