An Inspiring Color Palette

Color and the accents that you choose truly make a wedding unique. One of the first things that brides choose is the color scheme of their event. From bold, vibrant hues to soft, muted tones, color helps create the ambiance that you desire.

In the early stages of planning as you are deciding on colors, the creation of an inspiration board helps you to visualize your primary and accent colors and how they will work together and enhance one another. I recently put together an inspiration board for a client's September 2010 wedding. She's going for a sense of drama and wants to fill the room with blue uplighting while adding dramatic red accents and black magic roses. When we put together the inspiration board and saw how the colors created the dramatic look that she desired, she knew that she had found her winning color combination.



Are you trying to decide on your wedding colors? The Dessy Group (known for their great selection of bridesmaid dresses), now has a unique tool that allows all brides to play with color and create their own wedding inspiration boards. Visit Dessy's "Styleboard" and you can create your own boards that will inspire a variety of color combinations as you beginning planning the decor and accents that will enhance your wedding vision. I'm excited to see all the new color combinations that will be popular for 2010. Leave a comment and let me know what unique color scheme that you've chosen!

An Old Hollywood Love Affair

Holly is such a fun-loving bride! I recently met with Holly and her mother to discuss wedding details as she prepares for her April wedding at the Orlando Museum of Art. As we were talking, she started showing her engagement photos and I was blown away. They are just stunning! Her wonderful photographer, Leigh Taylor (check out more of her work at www.leigh-taylor.com), used an Old Hollywood vibe to perfectly capture Holly and David's love. I just couldn't resist sharing them with you. I'm excited to be working with such a fun couple and I'm eagerly anticipating their wedding...I know that the event (and photographs) will be just as breathtaking!
