Minty Fresh

One of the most popular colors this year is mint. It has colored shoes, skinny jeans, jewelry and now weddings! This subtle fashion statement is now redefining color options and themes for weddings as it continues to grow in popularity. In fact this cheerful color is perfect for a bride who wants to be fashion forward and edgy without losing her wedding's elegance.

One of the great things about mint is the fact that you can find so many great products and designs in the color. Here is a great opportunity to allow your bridesmaids to choose their own style of dress because this unique color does not come in one million different shades (think trying to find the right shade of red from six different dress stores). Also its easy to find mint earrings, shoes or ribbon; all that match perfectly with the bridesmaid dresses!

A really cute idea for a wedding favor is to have mint colored mints!

This color has taken off as a theme. People are sending out mint wedding invitations, having mint colored cakes, and even indulging in mint colored table settings. Mint looks great with a variety of colors and can be used for a day or nighttime wedding. Brides are loving the color so much that they are even making their wedding dresses mint!

Color Cake

My favorite part of a wedding, or any event/party/get together, is the cake. Even bad cake is good; but, cake is even better when it's aesthetically pleasing and almost too pretty to eat. Cutting into a cake and realizing that the slice is full of different colors will give your guests a great surprise.

Martha Stewart has a recipe for a rainbow cake:


It's pretty simple, albeit a little time consuming. You separate the cake batter into different bowls, color the batter, and bake in separate pans. Then layer and ice!

You could also mix the different batters and then pour them all into one pan, like below, to create more of a swirl of the colors:

For kids' birthday parties, cakes in a jar are fun:

Or cover the cake in fondant and gives kids edible markers and have them decorate the cake:

And of course, you can change the colors to your liking. The green is great for a St. Patty's day party and the pink is great for Valentine's day, or a cherry blossom themed wedding (shameless self plug!).
