Dressed To The Nines In Black And White | A Black Tie Wedding Inspiration Board

By, June 10, 2013

This week, we pulled our inspiration from a song that we just can’t get out of our heads — Justin Timberlake’s swanky single “Suit and Tie”. This song has a modern-meets-Old Hollywood vibe, and alludes to looking good while dressed to the nines in black and white.

As a wedding color scheme, black and white conveys eternal beauty, as well as bold sophistication. So for our board, we chose a timeless white bouquet of roses and ranunculus, an elegant letterpress invitation, a pillow-folded napkin with a dainty white garden rose, and a pair of white pearl gloves for a classic feel. To add a punch, we paired these objects with black and white Chanel pumps, crystal chandeliers, an embellished black belted gown, and gem-studded black cocktail tables.

When using a black and white palette, the complementary colors are endless! For example, we accented our board with a pale mauve for a soft look. It’s all about striking a balance between the yin and yang, or in this case, the beauty and the bold.

At a perfect black-and-white themed wedding, we’d love to see the groom dance a choreographed routine, vintage microphone in hand, singing “Suit and Tie”. If you haven’t seen the music video featuring JT and Jay-Z, we’ve got you covered. Check it out below our inspiration board, and allow them to “show you a few things.”

A Fair Style Affair | Wedding Inspiration for a County Fair Themed Celebration

By, June 03, 2013

For all the locals out there, it’s time to gear up for the annual San Diego County Fair! This Saturday, June 8th, kicks off the fair’s 77th year at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. To pay homage, we designed a fair-themed inspiration board full of summer fun!

For your own fair-inspired wedding, we suggest starting with spring pastels, and pairing them with bright pops of red and teal. You can also add details such as striped paper straws, buckets of Gerbera Daisies, and ribbon curtains draped over archways. These small touches help to accentuate the theme, and to create a whimsical atmosphere.

As an alternative to the ever-popular photo booth, you can mix it up with a kissing booth, which makes a great backdrop for social-media-worthy photo ops. If you’re looking to pull out all the stops, a petting zoo will surely keep guests entertained during the cocktail hour! And, if you can swing it, an old-fashioned carnival Ferris Wheel is a nice touch :)

Whether the wedding is fancy, or down-to-earth, there is always room for deliciously naughty late night treats. Desserts like chewy caramel apples, specialty popcorn and hand-dipped ice cream bars help to bring out that authentic fair flair. We’ll see you at the midway!

Anchors Aweigh! | Fresh Looks for an Elegant Nautical Themed Wedding

By, May 27, 2013

In honor of the highly anticipated summer wedding season, our weekly inspiration board is a nod to nautical-themed weddings. Nautical style is timeless, and conveys a feeling of leisure and freshness. It brings to mind anchors, sailboats, clean stripes and roped detailing.

A classic nautical-themed wedding infuses navy blue and red hues into the decor, paired with elegant accents. We’ve seen details such as seashell-motif invitations, gold flatware at the reception, and a beaded pearl clutch for the bride. These small touches really help to tie the theme together, and to bring a sophisticated elegance to the occasion.

Below, you’ll see a selection of images from recent natucial-themed weddings we’ve photographed. Whether you’re planning a cruise ship wedding, or you simply love the ocean breeze, our board may help to inspire your own nautical nuptials :)
