Color Palette: French Country Elegance

zenadiadesign — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:00:48 +0000

France is such a romantic and utterly breathtaking country. The language, the countryside and the incredible cuisine all are inspiration in themselves. Today’s inspiration board is inspired by a wedding in the French countryside. I’m envisioning garden fresh floral arrangements, vintage mercury glass, hints of lavender, delectable cheeses and a not so formal wedding cake. In a nutshell laid back celebration full of charm and elegance.

Vintage China

Charming and unique, using vintage china in your reception decor can add a bit of eclectic whimsy. I’m loving the little tea cups and saucers as bud vases. Mix and matched plates make a beautiful alternative to white china. These beautiful wares can be found on ebay, antique shops and even thrift stores!

Color Palette: Pink and Grey

Modern with a touch of whimsy is what this color palette is all about. The grey makes a nice contrast to the feminine color and softness of the pink.

Simply Succulents

A while back we did a post on succulents, and I think they have definitely grown in their popularity since then. Still a favorite of mine, succulents can add that unique pop to a bouquet or floral arrangement. Below are some of my favorite succulent arrangements as of late.

Finding the right tie for your groom, husband or dad can sometimes be hard. Too plain, too graphic, not his personality etc. are all delimas we come across when tie shopping. Enter Ciberoptix Tie Lab via etsy. This shop has the most amazing, and fun ties. They even have tie sets for the groom and groomsmen, and ties can be printed to order so you can pick your colors. Below are some of my favorites, but definitely check their shop out for more goodies.

A Charming Wedding at the Cass House Inn

zenadiadesign — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:00:17 +0000

Located in the historic seaside town of Cayucos, California, The Cass House Inn and Restaurant has a rich and vibrant history that spans more than 140 years. The town of Cayucos was originally founded by Captain James Cass in the 1800’s and this house served as the hub of all cultural and social life in Cayucos. This wedding, shot by Jen Rodriguez, is completely beautiful with charming organic chic style. I love the flowers, done by Manzanita Designs, and details throughout the event, not to mention the charming location. All the incredible looking food was done by The Cass House Inn.

Plum Perfect Inspiration

zenadiadesign — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:00:47 +0000

Purple seems to still be a pretty popular color for weddings, and I have to admit, I’m not much of a fan of purple. In some situations I like it, but for some reason it just isn’t a favorite of mine. However, since Spring is almost here and purple is a perfect Spring wedding color, here is some inspiration for a purple.

Ravishing Red

zenadiadesign — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:00:05 +0000

The color of love, red is bold and bright and can definitely stand on it’s own. It’s always been my favorite color (my office is painted red). I’m loving weddings that have a main color palette of, say, black and white with just little hints of red. Enjoy the inspiration for red weddings below.
