unexpected fall colors

I love fall and I love all the colors that fall brings, but sometimes it's good to throw a little twist in with the normal.  For a wedding I did in September, the bride and I both wanted the flowers to be very colorful, but I switched out the normal red and went with bright pink instead.  I think it really complimented all the bright yellows and oranges.  All I have is a couple photos from my iphone, but I had to share them anyways! :)What is your favorite twist on fall colors?

orchard shoot inspiration

Today, the orchard shoot I worked on last year with Heidi, Maureen & Kate is up on The Bride's Cafe!!  I cannot believe that the shoot was almost a year ago and I cannot believe that was the first official "shoot" I worked on.  Heidi and I came up with the idea and sorced all the vendors together.  It really is great to send or get those emails back and forth when you have another vendor on board with your idea that wants to contribute!  I thought I would share with you all the inspiration board I put together for Heidi and I to use as a jumping off point and to share our vision with others.  Enjoy!   And hop over to the bride's cafe to look at all the gorgeous pictures of our shoot.  So happy we can finally share them with everyone!!!

fall colors

Growing up in Minnesota, I have always loved that the seasons change.  I think my favorite season of them all, though, is fall.  There really isn't anything bad about it!  Apple orchards & pumpkin patches, cool nights, wearing sweaters & boots, and the leaves changing colors!   Last fall I was able to visit my parents in colorado in October and we took a couple trips up into the mountains...and boy were those colors spectacular!  I think after this chilly weekend we might have some leaves changing colors here in MN...can't wait! for now enjoy some colorado golden trees!
