My assistant Kathleen, just discovered these great garters for a patriotic themed wedding.  They are created by Julianne Smith and have been seen on WE TV, The Today Show, Martha Stewart, Southern Weddings and more!

These could create a lot of fun and action for your Fourth of July or Patriotic themed wedding.  They are ready for delivery and begin at $42 each.  Go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/thegartergirl for more info.  If the Fourth isn’t your theme, there are lots of others to select from.

Happy Fourth, Kim

I just discovered this great website.  http://www.abridesride.com/2008/01/blog-post.html offers vintage cars all over the US in the color and style you want for your wedding!  How exciting and fun!!  Along with the ride you may also purchase these custom banners.  There are several selections of the banner ribbon and sayings.  What a way to pull off into the sunset!  The banners begin at $47 and the rides at $250.  Just another great idea to provide for our readers here at Kim King Smith Events.

  You’re dreaming about the wedding, all the details.  What’s the big decision now?  Color.  What will be right? What will make your dream day fabulous?  Let’s face it.  Color is a HUGE element in your wedding.  It can direct you in routes to go with the flowers, the dresses, the linens, the lights and more.  Color will give the photographer and the videographer a lot or a little to work with.  Color is impact and most of you want this for your wedding. Don’t be afraid of color and going out on a limb with different combos.  Color can inspire a mood and make it magical.  Discover a new color you will adore.

Some of the very newest combos are marigold and pewter, or poppy and turquoise.  The new “neutrals” are the very faintest shade of pink with pearl and soft beige.  Lots of brides this year are now choosing emerald and canary or champagne and pewter.  One of my late summer brides is selecting moss and eggplant.  All of these colors and more are just waiting for you.
