While you've been sipping on your first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season, NYFW for Spring 2015 has gotten underway, and Pantone has released their top color picks for the spring season. Their theme is "En Plein Air" ("in the open air"), and the soft, water hues are oh-so-refreshing! Get ready to see these colors everywhere in a few months.

Aquamarine

Pantone says: "Cool and calming, ethereal Aquamarine is a shade with a wet and watery feel. Open and expansive, this restful blue also acts as a stress reducer."

Make it work for your wedding: Choose aquamarine for your "something blue," or pair it with peach and green for a charming look.

19 Kids and Counting star Jessa Duggar and fiancé Ben Seewald are planning a November wedding, and if their registries at Bed Bath & Beyond and Amazon are any indication, it's going to be just as huge as sister Jill's recent wedding — there are nearly 1,000 items on the registry!

After courting for nearly a year, the couple announced their engagement last month. The fifth-oldest Duggar child showed off her engagement ring on Instagram over the weekend:

Here are some of our favorite ideas from their registry:

1. Go Bold With Colors
You don't need to pick a color theme for your kitchen; mix 'n match makes it much more fun! 

BG sat down with "Bachelorette" Desiree Hartsock at The Couture Show in Los Angeles and got the inside scoop on her new bridal line and her upcoming wedding. The bride-to-be designed a boho-chic collection for Maggie Sottero, and we got a sneak peek!

Q: What made you decide to design a bridal line after The Bachelorette?
A: I worked in bridal salons in 8 years — most recently at Penache in Beverly Hills. I've always loved working with brides.

Q: How would you describe your new collection for Maggie Sottero?
A: It's bohemian, easy to wear, and can look perfect in a church or in a meadow. It's vintage, deco, and versatile. 

Q: We notice there are no ballgowns in the collection. Why?
A: I think of these gowns as the "new" princess dresses. A dress doesn't have to be a ballgown to be a princess dress. 

Q: Will you be wearing any of these dresses for your upcoming wedding?
A: I will be wearing two! One that's formal and romantic for the ceremony, and another that's more comfortable to dance in for the reception. 

Q: And what about your accessories?
A: Well, Chris (fiancé & Bachelor alum Chris Siegfried) is 6'4'', so I will be wearing high heels. My shoes will likely be a pair of Badgley Mischka's I found on sale! I am also designing a jewlery line that's coming out in October. I will probably wear jewelry from my line and give some to my bridesmaids for their bridesmaids gifts, as well.

Q: We found a venue we like, but I want to ask the chef to revamp almost the entire menu. Will this be insulting? Is it OK to ask for a lot of changes?

A: Requesting minor changes to a reception menu is standard and most caterers will happily oblige. They’ll also prepare kosher, vegetarian and vegan dishes.

However, if your request involves completely revamping the menu, then this might pose a problem for the caterer. His staff is trained to prepare certain types of dishes, and a special order of different foods or ingredients that are not readily available in his kitchen could prove costly. On the other hand, depending on what your menu wishes are, he might be able to work with you.

I would advise speaking with the caterer about your menu requests before booking the venue. If he is unable to meet your needs then you may need to compromise if your heart is truly set on the venue. Ask if he can prepare just one or two of your culinary requests and then agree to the rest of the already established menu. But if the menu and the types of dishes served are more important to you, then you’ll need to choose another site that’s better equipped to meet your expectations.
