As the days grow longer and warmer, I am craving the pretty palettes of Spring and Summer. And none can be prettier than that of dusky blue and blush….

French Hotel from Polly Alexndre, Blush Cap Sleeve Beaded Gown from Elie Saab, Blue Butterfly via Pinterest, Dusky Blue Brooch from Lisa Warninger, Ring from Jose Villa

So sweet and warm it lends itself to Spring and Summer weddings, rustic or elegant, it just has a certain je ne sais quoi!

Rustic Bouquet – Style Me Pretty // Wedding Invitation Bruges – Ruby & Willow // Blush Pink Satin Heels – Ruche // Ruffled Wedding Cake – Sweet & Saucy via Pinterest // Dusky Blue Sash – Ruche // Blush Silk Tulle Bridal Veil –Twigs & Honey // Peach Champagne Sapphire in Rose Gold – Etsy // Carolina Herrera Dress Detail, Groom and Boutoniere – Ruffled // Blush Pink Table Setting – Archive Vintage Rentals // Blush Flower Crown – Whichgoose on Etsy // Layered Bridesmaids Dress – Ruche

This super soft palette is also perfect for a daring bride to shy away from the traditional and opt for a delicate Blush Bridal Gown. Such a cute alternative to ivory yet still with a hint of innocence.

I love the feathery texture and glitzy embellishment on this Blush Wedding Dress from Reem Acra‘s 2013 Resort Collection….

Or this glamorous curve skimming sequin gown from Jenny Packham….

When a bride is looking for an alternative to the traditional ivory wedding dress, there is one designer she can always turn to and that is Vera Wang. This beautifully sculpted, mermaid gown is from her Fall 2012 collection….

Or, with a hint of lace, the beautiful Juliet gown also from Vera Wang….

Or a design with a little more of the fairytale to it, Marchesa‘s Blush Embroidered Princess Gown, with its tulle skirt under the most exquisite bodice….

I love this ruched chiffon off the shoulder gown from Marchesa, it would be simply perfect for a beach wedding….

And this boned bodice Alberta Ferretti dress with it gorgeous ruching and lace applique….
