sneak peek: martha stewart weddings spring issue

With early signs of spring already appearing in DC, it seems fitting to give a sneak peek of the colorful + fun new Spring issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. The beautiful and inspiring issue is available for download on your iPad and in hard copy on Monday, March 4th. 

The annual color issue showcases a wide range of color palettes, with ideas for dressing your bridal party, your reception, and yourself and much more!

Talk about marble-ous (could not resist)...we love the feature with gorgeously chic marble details! This story incorporates classic papers and naturally-occuring marbled tulips, plus DIY projects and interesting ways to add that special pop, like with a paneled cake or a variety os sweets.
