*11- Seen with mines-eye, inspiration

As I have had this "obsession" (so my mother and fiance call it), for a long time, I have accumulated a very large folder of favorite, nifty ideas. However as I was scrolling through the other folders on my computer today I came across an old memory book or sorts-- the weddings I have helped coordinate! Of course I had not forgotten them, but when I helped with them I was not engaged yet, now looking back I realize what a source of real-life inspiration I have!

And what could be a better place to gain inspiration than from those lovely brides I got to know so well.

So here I will share with you one photo, and one photo only as I do hope that I reveal some of my favorites in a series.

This was some draping that I did for a bride at the Long Beach Grand, and at first I was thinking, 'purple?? really?' but I fell IN LOVE with it!! Sometimes the things you think wouldn't look super great look beyond great. I have always loved the idea of draping but had always thought white on white was nice, added texture and a graceful quality to most spaces, but it can also be such a statement!

As I have mentioned, I am leaning towards an outdoor wedding, however, I had not really thought about a tent. Being reminded of this idea is like when I decided to not be a vegetarian anymore; it wasn't bad, I just suddenly had too many choices!!

I would love a big white tent, and maybe some light red or powder blue.... or dare I say both??!
