Smoky Sophistication: Hues for ‘I Do’s’

2 Freshwater pearls are classic, and this contemporary strand is perfect for brides wanting to combine modernity with tradition. Sissy’s Log Cabin, Little Rock & Pine Bluff.

3 Match the champagne flutes you’ll use for the best man’s toast with your color scheme to have a couple of extra-special keepsakes. Fifth Season, Little Rock.

5 Choose corresponding patterns and tones for all the little details to show you planned the event like a true professional. Full Moon, Little Rock.

6 Know how your wedding and reception will look prior to sending out save-the-date cards so everything’s cohesive. Molly’s Paperie, Little Rock.
