Bold and Beautiful

Hi!

I met with Kallie and Nick this weekend to begin their wedding design/planning and a funny thing happened. 

We were tasting cake and deciding on the design. Kallie mentioned that she had purchased all sorts of items that were rich in color but didn't think it would go with her vintage theme. She showed me this beautiful ribbon design that she loved.  I asked if she could come back and bring all her accent pieces so I could have a look!

This is what she brought!! Bright and beautiful,  fun and playful and she loved it all. So did I!

We started talking and putting together different elements. This one needs paint, this one we can sew together, this teamed with this one is perfect, this one for a "welcome sign" and in an instant, we had her theme design and she loved it. 

I want to address her first concern; she was worried that all her items didn't have a vintage feel. In the pre-Victorian era, before Queen Victoria wore white to her wedding, all the Brides wore  rich color; burgundy, chartreuse, green, purple and so on. 

The elements that Kallie brought this weekend, all have that vintage feel; Bird Houses, fabric place mats, and floral cones. 

Your vintage theme can be anything you want it to be. Bringing all your elements together in a cohesive manner is the key. If you find something you love, find a special place for it!

You might have to paint it or team it with something else, but don't rule it out.

Have fun!! We did!

Thank you Kallie and Nick!

Love,
