Color-Blocked

Color blocking is all the rage now in the fashion runway and it looks like it’s here to still early 2013. I’ve recently tried it on my wardrobe so I thought I might share this trend with all you brides-to-be(s) too!

First and foremost, definition:

Color blocking is a technique where blocks of various fabrics are sewn together to create clothing with a few different solid colors..

I’ve read somewhere that color blocking is not for the faint of heart. So if you think having a color blocked wedding dress is too much, you can always channel this colorful trend with your bridesmaids dresses.

The key colors this year is fuschia & tangerine, black on yellow, blue (which is now the winter color here in Australia) or neon colors.

I’m so in love with the canopy ceiling. Love the colors!  For favors, I found these adorable DIY terra cotta pots.

So, will you be color-blocking your wedding too? If yes, which color will you be mixing together?

Color+Mood #11: Seaside Affair

Before I leave for a well-deserved vacation and before I dive right into the holiday madness, I’m going to leave you ladies something to ponder about. It’s kinda out of season to have a color mood with a seaside feel but the good thing about color palettes is that you can still make it work anytime of the year with the right materials.

Obviously, I was thinking of vacation when I was doing this.
Okay, so wish me luck on finding something inspirational from my trip! Bon Voyage everyone!

Woodsy & Poppy Red

It’s going to be another long weekend! Before I bid you lovelies a happy weekend, i’ll share with you two gorgeously designed tablescapes. Seeing this was so coincidental since we had just arranged our own tablescape recently.

Our first table is a bright red + white table collaborated by photographer Sara Gray & design team Punch.

Next is a green + blue + brown table by Jackie of Merci New York. Adorned with birdcages, popcorns, chocolates & guests’ souvenirs as a custom gift and dessert table. I love the rustic meets feminine feel! This design was also included in one of Jackie’s inspiration for a Manhattan loft style wedding.

Happy Weekend everyone!
