Inspiration Board: Mint + Gold Glitter
FEB 22There are two “things” I’ve been obsessed with as of late. Anything glittery gold and anything MINT! I absolutely love the color. In fact, my desk lamp, decor accents and ultimate favorite shade of nail polish is mint. So if I had to get married all over again (to the same man, love you jason), [...]read more
Theme Update!
AUG 27It’s been more than three months already since I finally revealed our wedding theme. You can look back to that post here. If you can believe it, not much has changed! There is still not an exact “theme” so to speak. Although I guess if I had to nail it down right this second, I might [...]read more
Latest Obsession: Neon Brights
JAN 25It’s been a while since I’ve shared one of my “latest obsessions”. And for this one, I kind of struggled with sharing it because I undoubtedly fear this being labeled a post supporting the tacky 1980′s. But honestly, if you infuse neon in small doses without overwhelming the color scheme, it can be fresh, modern [...]read more
Inspiration Board: Green, White & Twine
NOV 17One of my favorite details that I love adding to wedddings is twine. For my own wedding programs, I bound the booklets with black and white Baker’s twine. Here’s an inspiration board that is just too lovely, filled with soft whites, greens, twine and brown Kraft paper. Twine can be used as a detail around [...]read more
Inspiration Board: Modern Girly | pink + grey + sparkle
OCT 26I was actually just describing to my mom that if I were to get married all over again (renewing vows of course!), I would have a pink + grey wedding. So today’s inspiration board was an absolute thrill for me to put together. This has to be it! It’s still modern, but entirely soft and [...]read more
Inspiration Board: Emerald Green & Blue
OCT 13I’ve never really thought about putting primary colours together. But when I recently browsed through Elie Saab’s 2012 ready-to-wear collection, I was absolutely enamoured with the use of blue + green. {images: style.com} So of course, I wanted to create an inspiration board using these bold primary colours. I decided to tone down the blue [...]read more
Inspiration Board: Navy Blue & Blush Pink
OCT 05Today’s inspiration board is another one of my favorite combinations. Aside from black and dark grey, I like using navy blue in colour palettes because it tends to go well with just about every colour. For this one, I paired navy blue with a soft/blush pink and it’s absolutely delicate but with a masculine touch. [...]read more
Colour Palette: Coral, Pinks & Grey
SEP 28I just love this combination. It totally reminds me of a morning sunrise, in fact I witnessed it around 7 AM today. Isn’t it lovely when paired with soft grey which acts as the grounding neutral? {images: 1. anthropologie 2. minted}read more
Inspiration Board: Purple + Taupe
SEP 12I just love finding colours to pair with deep purples and pops of fushia & aubergine. Silver was always by go-to choice but I’m really starting to love taupe. It has an added warmth and is perfect for a fall or winter wedding. {petdogonline wedding dresses / favour tag: our washington wedding / shoes: flickr [...]read more
Graphic Wedding Programs
AUG 25I am a sucker for modern graphic patterns. Especially the chevron and trellis.

Check out these [...]read more
Inspiration Board: Charcoal (or navy) + Gold
AUG 08I have to admit, the colour gold has been getting a bad rap, especially by me. I’ve always attributed gold to all things vintage & gaudy. But lately, I’ve buying a lot of yellow gold jewelry. Somehow, it just feel like it has more character and glam than ordinary silver/white gold jewelry. In the case [...]read more

JUL 18One of my most favorite colour combinations is green & grey. If you saw my wedding, you’ll know that is definitely true!

1920s Inspiration
SEP 30I love what they did at the New York & Atlantic City premiere parties for HBO’s new drama Boardwalk Empire.

Hermès-Inspired Wedding
MAR 15You MUST check out this tangerine wedding reception shown over at Pacific Weddings. I am literally DYING over the first shot and the impact the grid full of flowers and fruits has on the decor. MUST RECREATE – I think it’s time to call my florist! And what can I say about that dessert table? [...]read more
Inspiration Board: NAVY, Yellow and White
MAR 04I love the masculinity of this color palette with just enough yellow to lighten the decor. For those who find black a bit strong or for those who aren’t allowed to use black due to cultural reasons, navy blue is a fabulous choice to pair with just about any color. I like to think that [...]read more
Inspiration Board: Aqua & Cream
FEB 23I started this inspiration board after falling in love with the gorgeous aqua colored sweater from j.crew. I love pairing aqua with dark greys and browns, so it was really nice to see it work so well with a smooth cream. To ground the colors, it would be best to add some dark brown to [...]read more
