A quick note before we jump into our next entry…the main page of the blog only holds five posts, so the entries contest can be seen under the color palette section of our site or under the contest portion of the site!
Our next entry was inspired by this stunning pink, cream and brown room…
And here is the board designed based on the above photo…
The next entry in our color palette contest was inspired by a photograph taken of the designer and her best friend wearing raspberry and blue dresses…
Our next entry was inspired by the amazing room from Domino Magazine featured in the top left corner of the board…
This designer loves how “worldly and feminine and humbly stylish” this room is, with “the bold colors set against the cultural patterns.” She would love to see this event translated “through scroll invites, faux mink + animal print runners…a mix of peonies, dahlias and marigolds.”
Our next entry was inspired by the beautiful set of stationery, designed by Hammerpress , featured at the top of the board…
Stationary by Hammerpress Inc., Yellow Dress by JCrew, Flowers from Rosenow Floral, Cake by April Reed, Hair Flower by Twigs and Honey
Our fourth entry was inspired by a photograph that the designer took while visiting the Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in Minnesota…
And, here is the board that she designed based on the above photo…
Red Gown on JCPenney, Stationary from Wiley Valentine, Cake Knife & Server from Impressions are Everything, Snowflake Bottle Stopper Favor on My Dream Wedding, Cupcakes on Great Wedding Cakes
Our third entry was inspired by the incredible pink, orange and yellow bouquet in the center…
Our second entry was inspired by the largest image…the ceremony built around the gorgeous tree…
Today is day one of our color palette contest! We had a HUGE response to this…literally hundreds of entries. Although I so wish that I could post each and every one, I have chosen to feature those that I felt would “show” the best on the blog. We are going to be posting a stream of palettes all day, every day for the entire week. Because Friday is a holiday, we are going to extend the contest into the beginning of next week, with voting on Tuesday. In the meantime, am sure that the designers would love to hear your feedback!
Here is an issue that so many brides and grooms struggle with…the music!
Question 4: We are having a non-religious ceremony on the beach with about 125 guests. The attire is formal and for the most part, the ceremony will be pretty traditional. The only thing left to plan is the entrance music for the parents/grandparents, the bridesmaids and for myself….I want something that is beautiful, but not over-the-top wedding (ie. no “here comes the bride”). We are completely stumped and not sure where to begin. Any suggestions of great wedding music that isn’t too wedding-y?
