Tuscan Days - If you're having a fall wedding and not sure what theme or colors you should go with, we suggest that you have a Tuscan reception. With colors of deep oranges, golds and reds you'll have a very refined feel. Dim the house lights and have candlelight throughout the room to set the mood and make you feel like you're actually in Italy. Oh, and not to mention the amazing wine and food choices you'll be able to play around with if you stay true to the region that inspired this theme. (Photo: Courtesy of Lindsay Landman Events)

Happy New Year! Oh, and Happy Marriage? - Now, it may sound odd to get married on New Year's Eve, but what better way to bring in the new year than to be with your honey and the family and friends that you're closest too. Besides the fact that you're celebrating a new union, you're also celebrating life and all that it has to offer. When the clock strikes midnight let the streamers go, toast with expensive champagne, and if you've got it in your budget, set some fireworks off! If you're going to go hard, go hard all the way in the paint with no regrets! (Photo: Caroline Robert/ Sweet Caroline Photo)

The subdued aqua-blue highlighted with orange (as you see) give a classy edge to your reception that may not have been there before. (Photo: Two Sisters Catering)
