Fall brings great things:  apple picking, cozy sweaters, and a variety of vibrant colors to New England! We were inspired this month by Coren Moore’s Kate one-shoulder gown.  The Auburgine color just screams Fall to us and we based our September Inspiration board all around it!!

We are loving these Stewart Weitzman “Pandora” sling backs with cute embellishment’s to spice up any bridesmaid’s dress!! Because the one shoulder dress has a beautiful neck line no need for a huge  instead we love these *sparkly* Heirloom Deco Bracelet by Stella & Dot .

We loved this gorgeous bouquet with Roses, Orchids and Hydrangeas and the pops of green and white really help round out the color pallet for our gorgeous September wedding. We continued that color scheme onto the table arrangements by Winston Flowers appropriately named “Tuxedo Moon” a Cool and sophisticated demilune vase, sourced by white dahlias and elegant black calla lilies.

Our sleek and cool invitation were designed by Velvet Press Designs and help continue our purple theme, and the flowers give the invites just the POP it needs! Guys don’t think we forgot about you!! Vineyard Vines is soooooo New England and this Rope Links tie pulls together the whole fun look without making the guys be matchy-matchy with the bridal party!

We had so much fun with our September inspiration, we would be happy to help you with all of your bridal & bridesmaid needs and we can’t wait to hear about what inspires you!!

Our designers are wowing us with what is in store for 2011!  Here are some juicy details:

1.  The NOTCH TOP – a cute little detail that changes up the classic strapless look. See Siri’s flirty Paulette dress below.
2.  BELTS – Your bridesmaid dress has offically become THE Party Dress with this addition.  Check out A.B. Ellie (www.abellie.com) for Flair approved belts – adorable and fashion forward at an incredible price!
3.  COTTON – Everyone loves the look and feel of cotton (do you have the commercial jingle in your head).  Your bridesmaids will love wearing cotton on your big day.  Light and comfortable, these dresses will have your girls skipping down the aisle with glee.
4. YELLOW – Think daffodils, marigold and sunflowers – yellow is the IN color this upcoming season.  Surrounding yourself in all this warm color will make you just glow on the big day.
5.  NEUTRAL TONES – Taupes and Dark Greys are the new Chocolate Brown and Black.  These colors are colorful, formal, and rewearable!  For your formal wedding, your girls can easily wear cocktail length dresses in these flattering hues.
6.  Distinguishing your beloved MOH – Let your MOH stand out with a little flair.  A different colored dress on your MOH let’s everyone know just how much she means to you.  Keep it low key – for example if your girls are all wearing navy, have your MOH wear a shade lighter, like Evening Blue.

When Bay Area event designer, Jess Flood asked Flair to work on a collaborative inspirational wedding shoot for wedding blog, Style Me Pretty we were thrilled! We had the pleasure of working with some of the most talented and creative wedding vendors including photographer, Jessamyn Harris.

Every person who worked on this Inspiration Board contributed their skill and craft beautifully and gracefully. As a result, the day of the shoot performed itself in almost an effortless manner and the romantic story of Ella and Benjamin came true. It’s inspiring to realize that so much magic is spurred from the smallest of details that sit right in front of your face. For instance, the natural moss found on the River Ranch grounds to the antique brooches—one small detail/idea can open doors.
