If orange is the new black, then metallics are the new neutrals for winter weddings. And as it turns out, all that glitters isn’t gold.

Think sultry silvers, potent pewters, candescent coppers … and yes, glitzy golds. From centerpieces to sequined bridesmaid dresses, our Lily & Lime wedding photographers have captured it all! Metallic and neutral wedding colors are making a splash this season and offer an elegant and easy way to create the glamorous wedding you’ve been dreaming of.

Any wedding photographer worth their film will ask you for a list of “must have” photos -- that includes people, settings and situations -- before the big day. Dad pinning on a boutonniere. A close up of Grandma’s hands and yours. You and your best friend from childhood, laughing just the way you did back then.

The two of you and “Best Dog.”

Wedding photos are a wonderful way to honor those closest to you. And for some, that just might include the four-legged variety.

What might have once been viewed as a quirky novelty -- the inclusion of pets in weddings, namely dogs  -- is gaining popularity. And why not? These fur friends probably spend more time with the two of you than anyone else.

Looking for inspiration? Captured by our talented Lily & Lime wedding photographers, here are some of our favorite photos of couples letting their pooches participate in the celebration -- and even becoming a part of the wedding decor.

Fall turns to winter. Soft greens and harvest golds make way for shades of berry, plum and crimson.

These darker hues are a knock-out against ivory and white. However purple and red wedding colors can take you way beyond the bouquet and inform your entire bridal style -- from nuptial nails to wedding decor.

Our wedding photographers here at Lily & Lime have captured some of our favorite (and often unexpected) uses of this winter color palette. They might will inspire you!

We hope you’re ready for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie because Thanksgiving has officially arrived!

This is a very exciting time of year. Not only is it a long weekend packed full of sweet treats and savory eats, but it is also what most people would consider to be the kick-off of the holiday season.

While we here at Lily & Lime are as excited as everyone else for all the festivities that are just around the corner, we think it’s important to take a moment to slow down and consider what today is really about.

Following are some lovely words we’ve collected for you to enjoy on this day of giving thanks… Along with some beautifully captured moments from our very own Lily & Lime wedding photographers!

Thanksgiving. It’s the same every year … Turkey. Stuffing. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Pumpkin pie. Green bean casserole.  And most people like it that way.

It can also be an ideal time for fall weddings as the family is already gathered. (Our Lily & Lime photographers love fall weddings!)

Whether it’s nuptials or just the fourth Thursday of November, we’ve got recipes that take the same ol’, same ol’ out of Thanksgiving without offending those loved ones attached to the tried and true. Check these out!
