I promise blues and greens are not my favorite color (well, I do love them). I put together this color board back in February in preparation for a style shoot with a dear friend. We were aiming for a saturated set of colors, but also wanted them to pop. I have seen teal and yellow done before, but usually in softer hues. This is my take on that same palette, but much more rich.

This sweet little photoshoot put together by Oregon photographer Melanie Jade and Ashley of Stargazer Weddings has such a fresh palette of aqua blue, lemon yellow and white. There are some great and inexpensive steal worthy tablescape ideas from this workshop - white bowls filled with lemons, single yellow flowers in milkglass vases, the white tissue poms. Loving this color combo so much! And the adorable couple who modeled for the shoot have been married for 10 years and have three kids, and were excited to do this since they never really had a photographer at their own wedding. And I'm adori... |
{Yellow & White}When yellow meets the crisp simplicity of white...there are bound to be sparks! Just look at how this combination shines! Its summery, its vibrant, its full of life! When Kristine wrote to me about the lemon colored wedding she was planning for June I just knew I had to make her something special to capture of of the ideas I had for her! I chose forsythia for her centerpieces and yellow roses for her bouquets. A fun polka dotted motif was seen throughout her day which really added some extra personality. Cupcakes were designed to incorporate the couples monogram and guests... |

{Lavender, Antique Gold, Light Yellow + White}Can you believe that it's Friday already? Gosh, this week sort of just flew right by! Today I've put together a little lavender inspiration! I'm not sure why, but here lately I'm loving these softer shades. You know, colors that seem to have a way of just putting me at ease. When it comes to styling your wedding, why not go for a very homespun and down to earth look? I can imagine a very intimate gathering of friends and family with a sweet and understated wedding reception to follow. I love the idea of saying 'I do' in quiet, remote locales.... |

White on white wedding cake has gone from chic, to passe, to chic again. I'm fully embracing it, but only if it's as elegant and creative as this one. What about you? White cake? Colorful cake? What are you planning? Lighter than air cake by Ruth Drennan.... |
Last weekend I had the honour of going shopping with my friend Amber for her wedding dress (or the "Whiskey-Delta" as it is sometimes coded around these parts). Although the weather was windy and cold, we enjoyed an afternoon of coffees + laughs and good old fashion wedding chit chat. I was attempting to describe to Amber how beautiful white florals can look for both bouquets and centerpieces and - just my luck - design sponge put together a collection that brilliantly epitomizes what I imagined.By selecting a statement runner (charcoal silver, in Amber's case) and strategically placed candl... |
