The wedding season is around the corner, and this means that for most of my brides and grooms the where and the who are booked, and we are now getting to the fun part of actually designing the decor.
For me, of course, this means countless sleepless nights pouring over millions of images, trying to translate “extraordinarily theatrical” and “intimate shabby chic” into actual concepts. And so I have a confession to make: the hardest part is actually not letting my personal taste get into the way of my clients’ visions.
I’ve therefore decided to be a little bit selfish with this post, and share with you bits and pieces of what actually inspires me. I try as much as possible to think “outside the box”, which, for a wedding planner, means getting inspiration elsewhere than from wedding magazines, wedding blogs, and weddings at large.
I particularly love music, films, architecture, art, and interior design, as all of these can convey specific moods and feelings, which is also what a well-designed event should do.
My latest obsession is somewhere between Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette and Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden. A dreamy mood, a touch of vintage, a drop of nostalgia; bubble gum colors that make you want to blow soap bubbles; lush romanticism that invites a state of dolce far niente. An invitation into something magical and secret.
If you are looking for inspirations for your own wedding decor, and this post strikes a cord with you, please let me know, I am dying to bring this vision to reality. Otherwise, I hope these images leave you dreaming sweet dreams…
xoxo
