:: Knottie Friday - Emerald

Just because the Christmas season is coming to a close doesn't mean that we can't still be inspired by its beautiful colors.

Bejeweled emerald green is always beautiful. It is great year round, and ideal for a Christmas or a New Year celebration. Green represents all things fresh and new. And it is said that the emerald gemstone stands for love and success. What better color to celebrate the start of a new life?

:: Knottie Friday - Turquoise + Red

Christmas is a perfect time for weddings. Apart from the fact that you don't have to look far for decor inspiration, the feeling of love, romance and heart felt warmth is in the air, and this makes a welcome addition to any wedding day nuptials.

I love this wedding shot by Chenin Boutwell. Although a summer wedding, (colors courtesy of the bride, Jennifer) I think this would make a fabulous Christmas wedding too. Turquoise + Red = Yummy!
