Sweet Peas and Petals

A few Photos from a GORGEOUS summer wedding we designed a few months ago.

Colors: Soft pinks, creams, butter yellow and bridal white made up the floral pallette.

Style: Romantinc 1920’s, Cameos, Lace

Designer Bits: The Brides dress was amazing. She designer herself and her AMAZING family played the part of seamstress. It was impeccable and fit the bride beautifully.

Note to the Bride— Thank you so much for your amazing planning and ideas. Even though the planning was mostly done via email and over the phone I still felt like I got to know you on a personal level, and what you liked and disliked.  The positive feedback, detailed descriptions and photos that you collected for me REALLY helped during the designing process and I hope you were pleased with everything . Thank again! All the Best—Lindsey

A new way to be inspired….

This a new and exciting verion of an inspiration board. I created this STYLE FILE using a website called POLYVORE.com It is a fun way to collect clips of colors, updated fashion, themes, accessories, decor and put them together in a fun and unique way.There is only one item to download and they will do the rest, then as you are browsing your favorite websites if you see something you LOVE you click the button on your tool bar and fill out a bit of info about who what where then your done. It will save it in your POLYVORE account as an individual (CLICKABLE) photo, which you can then use to build as many inspirations boards as youd like. It can really help you fine tune a the little nitty-gritty details of your wedding. This is one that I was playing with for one of my brides MAGGIE, but after we met yesterday, we are going to switch up the colors a little. So… back to the drawing board! YEAH! cause this way it is actually funner than it was before. Go to their site and try them out, you will love it!

New Color Concepts

Hunter 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 and small hand tied bouquets of baby roses. For the Bride, accents of vintage lace and possible an antique cameo adorning a ribbon styled chocker could polish off the look quite nicely!
