Wedding Planning with Martha Stewart

When I was planning my own wedding, now nearly 10 years ago, I drew inspiration from Martha Stewart. In one of her magazines, she had a floral arrangement that was made up of fuschia and marigold blooms. I loved how striking and unusual it was, enough that it became the colors for the wedding. Beautiful, different and very unique.
