LUCK O' THE IRISH by L. MADSEN
KISS me I'm..... loving the mixture of Hunter &amp; Moss Green, Dusty Pink, and Cream. A nostalgic color combo that is both down to earth, while remaining soft and feminine. I love the idea of the men in Dark Charcoal suits with Hunter green vests and “driving caps” to match. The ladies would also look lovely in Hunter Green with Blush pashmina </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblackvanblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4017110983197856773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theblackvanblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/style-file-luck-o-irish.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4881131072843905393/posts/default/4017110983197856773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4881131072843905393/posts/default/4017110983197856773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblackvanblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/style-file-luck-o-irish.html' title='STYLE FILE: Luck o&apos; the Irish'/><author><name>L.

The last few brides that I have talked with have pratically glowed when the color raspberry was shown to them, A little deeper than fushia, and more refined than hot pink…..RASPBERRY is quickly becoming the new PINK. I love this STYLE FILE from SMP.com it really shows how such a bold color can still remain soft and sweet.
