Sweets Table and Paper Goods Inspiration from Dooby Design Group:
I was very inspired by the bold unique color palette in which we used for this inspiration shoot. I decided to use a baroque damask pattern as the main graphic element for the stationery and I carried this through to the sweets table design. We chose to use all different shades of turquoise sweets with slate gray as the accent. Sweet Heather Anne designed a cake as the focal point for the sweets table, inspired by the Katerina Bocci ballgown the bride wore and she hand painted the baroque pattern on a layer that was used throughout the rest of the table. All the stationery elements were die-cut into a gorgeous ornate shapes done by Sugar Paper, a great etsy find. Overall we were very pleased with the way the patterns, colors and textures translated on the sweets table as well as the stationery.
Cake Design Inspiration by Sweet Heather Anne:
When I saw the Katerina Bocci ballgown that was going to be used in the shoot, I completely fell in love with it. I used the silhouette and pleated detail of the dress as a starting point, and worked with the colors and general feel of the inspiration board to complete the design. Balancing the bold jewel tones in the color palate with large expanses of pure white was a lot of fun. I also worked very closely with Aisha Holly of Dooby Design Group, who designed the sweets table. I hand painted the pattern she created for the paper goods on the largest tier of the cake to tie everything together.

Incredible wedding! I am in love with that dress! I'm a man and if the bride came out in that I would be so excited. Wonderful, colours and the unique items are just that. Very cool! Jessica, you nailed it!
Thank you all so very much for your comments! Alexa, the clutch is actually mine. It's from Banana Republic and it's about 7 or 8 years old. We just loved the color and texture for the shoot. So glad you liked it!
