Neon seems to be popping up every where.. I love the idea of a wedding design with touches of neon that is still really, really, elegant (it would be such a fun design challenge).

How rad would a neon wall be for a ceremony backdrop? SO RAD.

I love this photo of a rainbow of bold colored shoes, they’re all too much fun.

This gorgeous wedding I did in September was featured on Grey Likes, last week… The theme was spanish with a strong color palette of orange and blue.

For the ceremony I had a simple arbor built. Then I draped it with alternating strips of orange and blue fabric.

For the bride’s bouquet I used a mix of locally grown dahlias in various shapes and sizes mixed with muscari, orange garden roses, tulips and calla lillies. For the grooms’ bout I used a calla lillie and wrapped in the same striped ribbon as the bride’s bouquet.

For seating cards, I placed a single clementine to hold the card down which acted as a paper weight and a fun snack for guests.

For the tables, I used La Tavola‘s fun retro linen in blue. I love the fun geometric pattern. And for even more pops of color I painted cement containers in two tones. The tall rectangular containers were painted a red and orange while the star shaped container was painted with cobalt blue and turquoise.

For guest tables, I used large wood boxes surrounded by white tile I painted. I simply taped a triangle on one side of the tile and then spray painted the exposed portion a pretty orange/red. I loved, loved the bold color palatte of this wedding, would you be so bold?

So in love with these adorable “some blue” Badgley Mischka shoes!

I love classic blue and white china. There’s just something so elegant and timeless about it.

Um, how awesome is this writer’s desk with three dimensional blue and white tile?

And of course, classic chinoiserie blue and white china adds an exotic element to this classic combo. Would you use blue and white tile in your home? Your wedding design?

A few diamonds and jewels for your Wednesday… I styled these as part of the cocktail shoot just for fun. I used an old lipstick holder that I got at a consignment store and a gorgeous beaded linen that will be avaliable from La Tavola next year… Jewels courtesy of 33 Jewels.

I’m a big fan of Tara’s work over at Ink & Wit. Every year she puts out the most adorable wall calender and every year I buy one.

I love this detail shoot of a modern chair and bowls. There’s always something so peaceful and happy about her designs.

A bear and a balloon? Too sweet. You can see more of Tara’s work right here and buy the calender right here.

To me there’s nothing better than a serious piece of estate jewelry, especially when its a stunner like this art deco ring. I’m seriously obsessed with this ring and its for sale at 33 Jewels if anyone’s on the market for a seriously showstopping engagement ring.

I made this bouquet to go with the ring… its a soft cascadeing bouquet made up of hellebores and queen anne’s lace.

Would you rock an estate piece of jewely for your engagement or wedding ring?

I love the idea of a cozy, intimate wedding held over the long thanksgiving weekend. Lemon, herbs and the thanksgiving feast would serve as decor for the dining table. Accents of mustard and lemon, mixed with heirloom blue and white china, and brass candlesticks would give the tablescape a sophisticated and cohesive look. Would you hold a thanksgiving wedding?

Two of my favorite things… classic blue and white pottery and aqua shoes with bling!

A wedding I designed last year was featured on Style Me Pretty last week. I loved the colorful palette and the vintage school yard theme we did. More on this wedding soon…

And The Rainbow shoot was featured on The City Sage. Enjoy!

Tomorrow I’m heading out to London to design and attend my little sister’s wedding. I’m SUPER excited to go antiquing & prop hunting, not to mention visiting the always inspiring Fortnum & Mason, my beloved Cambridge where I studied abroad, drinking loads of cream tea and eating bags of Walker’s salt & vinegar chips. Posting will be light while I’m away, but I will have a full re-cap of my adventures when I return. Until then, cheers mate!

I love the rich warm blue of delphinium…

Especially when paired with a splash of aqua the effect is just so pretty and modern.

I love washi tape and I thought it would be fun to use for wedding decor rather than fresh flowers.

I used butcher block and then lined the 10′ runner with washi tapes cut at various lenghts. It was time consuming, but I love how it came out.

I found colorful rainbow fabric from Michael Levine’s and had napkins made. Enjoy Cupcakes was kind enough to provide cupcakes for the table.

The washi tape was carried through to the candles, I love how the candlelight comes through the translucent washi tape.

Happy crafting!
