Tuesdays are for Mood Boards... Romantic Garden Wedding with Vintage Lace

This board was created for one of my September couples, getting married at the Pine Orchard Yacht and Country Club in Branford, CT. A gorgeous venue on the CT shoreline with spectacular water views. Kate described her vision for the wedding as garden romantic, elegant, vintage with layers of texture and lace, and unique to the two of them. Working with Miss Wesson (Chocolate Creative Design) to tie together the elements of the design and personalization of the details through the paper this is truly going to be a special event!

Tuesdays are for Mood Boards.....Tomato Red

The minute I saw this fabulous skirt I wanted it!! I love the bold graphic colors paired with the feminine ruffle. It reminds me of a doll from Spain that used to lay on my mother's childhood bed in my Grandmother's house. Although,

I have never ever truly designed a red wedding, I figured there always has to be a first time. So here it goes! I really wanted to show that this color palatte could be used not only for a simple country wedding but for a decadent city wedding as well.

Enjoy!

A bowl of of berries country wedding celebration in July

This has to be a wedding made for July, as all the berries are in full abundance...The contrast of the red tropical prints with the classic stripes in the Sperry tent and tie add a bit of whimsy. If you are going to go red, why not wear a wedding dress with a print? It is a wedding full of outdoor games like croquet, coffee ice cream topped with berries, picnic baskets and fabulous hats!
