Delicate Winter Wedding Board

Since mother nature has decided to skip fall and go straight to winter this week, I thought it would be fitting to do the same.

The star of the show in this weeks inspiration board is the lovely silver brunia ball. This flower is one of very few flowers that naturally has a beautiful silver-gray color.

This color palette yields a very calm and serene atmosphere that gently reminds you of a soft winter snowfall.

Achieving this look can be very simple, here are a few suggestions to get you started:

Colors: Dusty Blue, Silver, Brown, Gold, and Cream
 Elements: Keep your color palette simple, white dinnerware and containers provide a wonderful foundation to build upon. Add in plenty of natural browns in the form of kraft paper, leather, wooden containers and pine cones. Touches of antiqued gold, used sparingly, make a very nice statement.
Flowers: Silver Brunia, Dusty Miller, Vendela Ivory Rose, Pine Cones, Seeded Eucalyptus
Fabric: Wool, Velvet, and Tulle

Black, White & Gold Fall Inspired Wedding

I love the idea of a black, white, and gold wedding in October but am sometimes turned off because they all seem to turn out looking very "Halloween'ish". Not that there is anything wrong with a Halloween inspired wedding, those can be very fun and pretty, too, but there are different ways to pair those colors together to achieve a much different look.

This board gives a few examples of how you can achieve a breathtaking black, white, and gold wedding, even with a pumpkin thrown in. The idea was to create the look of a black tie event and then add in the gold elements that were wanted to attain a very delightful appearance.

Colors: Black, White, Gold, with touches of Green

Elements: Glitter, Gold Tableware

Flowers: Orange Ranunculus, White Anemones, Peach Berries, Ivy, and Eucalyptus

Fabric: Taffeta or Satin
