hi! i'm april
I am thrilled and honored to be this week's guest blogger for pearls events!
I am an owner and lead consultant for the event planning and custom stationary design business, Blu Sky Designs, located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Please feel free to visit my blog and take a peak at the archives. You won't see any new posts as Blu Sky is going under some major changes for the new year.
I have some excited things planned for my blog appearance... the first being something that I love so much... inspiration boards! So, brides, I need YOU!!! If you would like a custom inspiration board to appear on pearls events this week, just leave a comment with the following information:

Your first name: Katie
Your fiancé's first name: Luke
Your wedding date: December 19, 2009
Your wedding colors: Deep navy (almost black) (bridesmaid dresses are this color), ivory/cream, “antique” pink, green (not too dark, or too lime-like)
Your wedding style: Rustic (but not country) and simplistic. Our main decorations will be real trees (without the leaves), with white lights wrapped on the branches, mixed with artificial Christmas trees w/white lights. But definitely not “Christmas-like” :) I envision lots of woodsy branches and white lights, and pillar candles galore at the church and reception.
April I can't wait to see what you have in store for us this week!!
Here's our information.
My first name: Kara
My fiancé's first name: Mike
Our wedding date: May 15, 2010 (Yes we are planning way ahead for one reason we live in Las Vegas but will be having our wedding back home in Michigan! So we need as much time to help plan)
Our wedding colors: Brown, white with Aqua/"Tiffany Blue" as an accent
Our wedding style: Classic with a twist, the most important thing to us is that our guests have fun and remember our wedding for years to come. It's a celebration, people go to so many weddings we want ours to stand out. So classic with a twist, fun and fun.
Your first name: Christine Kiely
Your fiancé's first name: Scott
Your wedding date: April 18, 209
Your wedding colors: Navy and kelly green
Your wedding style: Easy elegance. Southern charm. We're going for a blend of our two backgrounds from Virginia and Georgia. The wedding reception will take place at George Washington's old farm on the Potomac River in Alexandria, VA.
First name: Katie
Fiances name: Daniel
Wedding date: July 18, 2009
Wedding colors: Navy, white, green (a mix of chartreuse and grass green)
Wedding style: Classic and intimate. It will be an outdoor ceremony on Lake Michigan followed by a reception located in a restored furniture factory. We are going going nautical without using too many "nautical items". I would say more classic with a touch of nautical.
I'm excited to see the rest of your posts! (I love your invites!, it is still one thing we need to figure out)
Your first name: Tyffanie
Your fiancé's first name: Christian
Your wedding date: June 13, 2009
Your wedding colors: Fuschia, black, white, damask, silver highlights
Your wedding style: Outdoor elegance in the Rocky Mountains. We'd love to incorporate damask, but not overwhelmingly. We are also looking to incorporate Christian's Chilean heritage, including the Spanish language and any other little bits of latino goodness!
Your first name: Megan
Your fiancé's first name: Bob
Your wedding date: June 27, 2009
Your wedding colors: Fun, colorful shades of blue and green (think lime greens and vibrant blues) with bamboo and gold accents
Your wedding style: Super casual outdoor farm wedding with lawn and board games, gourmet vegetarian food, and tons of DIY accents. We love playful, fun details.
How fun! I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Your first name: Lynn
Your fiancé's first name: Nathan
Your wedding date: May 9, 2009
Your wedding colors: black, white, and apple green
Your wedding style: As a graphic designer marrying a former photographer, we both have an appreciation for modern and simple affairs. We want to have a great party for all of our family and friends and keep it stylish without spending our life savings.
Here's our information:
First name: Heather
Fiancé's first name: Frank
Wedding date: May 16, 2009
Wedding colors: yellow, green, white
Wedding style: Eco-friendly, simple (but not plain), somewhat casual, and classic. I'd love to bring springtime inside and use fresh flowers and wheatgrass as decorations.
Thank you!
I LOVE inspiration boards- so exciting! Thanks for doing this, I can't wait to see you turn our visions into something tanglible!
Your first name: Kate
Your fiancé's first name: Bob
Your wedding date: 9/19/09
Your wedding colors: We're going for a plum/hot pink color scheme with maybe other pops of color- open to suggestions!
Your wedding style: Our ceremony is on the beach, and our reception will be at a Yacht Club, right on the bay. We're going for a laid back, beachy, shabby chic type themem (if there is such a thing). I'm on the non-traditional side of things- so I love anything different. Won't be doing a bouquet/garter toss, no jordan almonds, nothing that screams wedding. I do love white pencil starfish, but I won't be going over the top beachy- not a ton of seasheels everywhere or fish. It's a tall order, now that I re-read that! Thanks!
Your first name: Jessica
Your fiancé's first name: Reece
Your wedding date: July 25, 2009
Your wedding colors: Black, white, (dark) purple
Your wedding style: A simple, modern/stylish wedding (with a little touch of the shabby chic look) to show our love and without spending all our savings. Our wedding should just be something different and rock, so no one will forget it. :-)
Your first name: Sarah
Your fiancé's first name: Charles
Your wedding date: Sept. 26, 2009
