January color story
Our brides and their moms agree – most of the time – on the vision for the look of their upcoming wedding. But sometimes the very best looks are born when the two have ideas that don’t exactly “square” up. Here, we’ve taken very traditional colors – gold and silver – and created a clean, modern celebration. This way, the traditional mom and the modern bride can each have their wish!
The color palette
The inspiration board
Our inspiration was the very interesting work of Piet Mondrian — a waaaaaayyy-ahead-of-his-time artist whose designs consisted of a grid of vertical and horizontal lines and the use of primary colors. You might recognize this canvas he created:
We had a great team come together to implement the design for our story. And here are the gorgeous results (as captured by our amazingly talented photographer & close friend, Marie Labbancz).
The F.U.E.L. House was truly the perfect blend of traditional and modern to host this very chic January wedding. VU-Events hung all the drapery and gave us amazing lighting. Total Table provided the gorgeous gold table runners and Party Rentals Ltd provided the perfect tables, chairs and place settings.
Beautiful Blooms‘ elegant etched candle holders sitting on the mantle of the fireplace is one of those perfect details that set a wedding apart from all others.
And Two Paper Dolls created the perfect touch — menus and table numbers designed around Mondrian’s art.
And now for the Yummy part! Feastivities created a SCRUMPTIOUS dessert for our January story: white and dark chocolate raspberry napoleon with raspberry coulis and pistachios.
Thanks go out to everyone who helped us put together this stunning January wedding. Stay tuned for February’s color story – we have very cool surprises in store!
Drop Dead Gorgeous! Love the gold vases!
This was so much fun to do! In fact we designed a dinner around it for a client. As always a pleasure working with you.
This is amazing! You all are so talented. I love the menus and the flowers and everything! It makes me want to get married again.
That can be arranged!!
