From Inspiration to Reality: The Design, III

February 8th. 2010 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 14 comments

It’s kind of blowing my mind today just how close to the actual inspiration board our team of vendors got. It’s almost uncanny. It’s the reason that I am such a huge advocate of the inspiration board. There is no better way to dream up your wedding day style, to hone your vision, to come up with a concept and edit in a way that everything makes sense. There is no better way to show your vendors all of the wedding beauty in your head and make sure that they are on the same page. And today’s shoot, photographed by James Christianson and designed by RSVP Shindig, just shows how invaluable that little board can be!

The champagne tower of glasses we knew we had to do. We not only had the perfect backdrop with the clock face but we wanted to make sure that they popped with color. So we added a rim of pink sugar. Who wouldn’t love to have a champagne tower of glasses at their wedding? It’s a trend we hope to see make it’s way back.

Anna Be had more dresses than we could even use. It was if Annie knew what dresses Anna Be had on hand. The Vera Wang dress in our shoot showed that you can be romantic, glamorous yet even modern. Known as the Sex and the City dress it was stunning. Sweet Letter Press ran with the pink for the menu cards, invite, and escort cards. The pink of the stationery kept the feeling of romance yet sophistication. We hope you love the end result as much as we all did. I know I can’t wait to hear what Annie thinks! Thank you so much!
