Blushing for Pinks and Gold

charmed — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:28:31 +0000

Happy Friday lovelies! I attended a conference in Mexico in December and was delighted to meet Youngsoon Martin, the founder of Wildflower Linens. When we asked her what her color trends and predictions were for 2012, she told us that blushes and nudes were going to be huge for the upcoming year and season and I couldn’t have been happier to hear that. I love the palette of blushes, pinks and golds because it really is a versatile palette. It can be used boldly to create a rock and roll feel or softly to create an airy and romantic feel. Whatever your fancy is, wishing you pink and gold dreaminess as we enter into this lovely weekend.

A San Jose Rotunda Wedding

Words cannot express how excited I am to share this next wedding with you. I’ve been planning and designing with Milton and Annikke for almost two years for their modern San Jose Rotunda Wedding inspired with touches of a Midsummer’s Night Wedding and their wedding turned out spectacularly magical! We had a color palette of lavendar, navy blue, blush pink and metallic silvers and gold to create the dreamy mood of the design and it was important for us to infuse stars for the bride and groom so take a look below to see the stunning result. Special thanks to my very special pal, Gladys Jem, for the BEAUTIFUL photography. Milton and Annikke, thank you for choosing us to plan and design your wedding. I loved every minute with working with you both for almost two years and it makes me so happy to see the both of you in bliss. Enjoy everyone!

Warning, you are about to enter an extremely drool-worthy world of bridal fashion…Annikke has great taste from the shoes to her custom made dress from the designer, Lazaro, himself!

Loved the custom invitation suite and custom graphics that we designed for the happy couple with the help of Post-Etiquette!

I’m kind of totally in love with this shot below, it’s so dreamy and ethereal!

For their escort cards, we wanted to do something different while using stars, so we created a hanging star installation for guests to “spot their star”. All the guests really had fun with this one!

We did a twist on the traditional guest book by creating a metallic silver board and asked guests to “make a wish” for the new couple by writing their names on starts that we created from the couple’s color palette. The guests then put it on the board to create a ombre display of stars that would become a custom art piece for their new home. I loved this and so did the bride and groom!

And check out our jaw dropping dessert bar filled with cupcakes and candies all in our color palette! This was beautiful and definitely a center stage wow effect that everyone enjoyed.

The rotunda really is such a pretty backdrop and venue for our designs and the other vendors involved. LOVE!

Congratulations again Milton and Annikke, your wedding is as beautiful as the both of you and I cherish the time that we spent together dreaming all of this goodness up! If you want to see more of the couple, see their engagement session that we also styled and designed for them.

It was all a Dream…

I love things that are dreamy…I think it’s because at heart I am the epitome of a dreamer. Here are some inspirations that I am absolutely adoring right now that are so dream worthy and romantic. Playing with a muted color palette with just the right hint of grey is perfect for the perfect mix of mood and fantasy. Add a touch of soft and fluffy flowers, a little lace, some airy decor detailing and you have the recipe for some dreamy love.
