Turquoise and Orange Color Combination

November 15, 2011November 15, 2011 Sofia Sayerboard, inspiration, invitation, moroccan, orange, tile, turquoise, wedding1 Comment

The combination and turquoise and orange may be a bit more popular than using something like all nude colors… but I think this combination looks different every time you use it! Turquoise and orange is fitting for many different locations and seasons. Fall, summer, destination on a beach, or in an indoor setting… I hope these pictures inspire you!

The color plum, or rich purples, can make a fantastic statement at your wedding or party. I love how bold and pretty this color can be. Use just a little bit and the color will be noticed, use a lot to make a big statement. I hope you will be inspired by my plum inspiration board!

Etsy Shops: Vintage Lace Inspiration

I am thinking about creating a vintage lace inspired wedding invitation. I have been collecting lace for a long time now, my grandmother is always finding something to give to me. These Etsy Shop owners have some awesome inspiration for using vintage lace in every day items:

Theater/Broadway Themed Wedding

I love this theater/broadway themed wedding for Anatalie & Bruno. They re-enacted four movie posters and hung them throughout the venue (Grease, Father of the Bride, I Love Lucy, and Super Mario Brothers). Great idea, right? Below is a picture of two of the posters. You can see more pictures of their fantastic wedding at Off Beat Bride.

Using Black and White at Your Wedding

October 14, 2011 Sofia Sayerblack, decorations, design, modern, patterns, surface, wedding, whiteLeave a comment

The colors black and white might seem boring for your wedding… but think again! Black and white can be classic and modern. And if you like surface designs, black and white can be a great way to incorporate patterns into your wedding without being too bold and overwhelming. See the black and white inspiration board I posted in the past here.

You can even combine multiple black and white surface designs in your wedding decor….. the black and white colors will keep the designs cohesive. The first image is from Martha Stewart Weddings and the second image is an invitation I designed that can be viewed in my Etsy shop here.
