Once we found our venue, all the design ideas for Laura and Billy clicked into place.  I was in love with the venue, and quite inspired by it!  I saw hundreds of chandeliers, windows swathed in silk..but of course, like most weddings, there is a budget to keep to, and so there was a limit to the chandeliers and the fabric draping and fabulous lighting I saw in my head.  Ah, but how to help the bride SEE what is inside my head?  That’s where our wonderful Nadia comes in – since I can’t draw, she reaches right inside my head and manages to sketch out my ideas for the client to see.

Laura loves color, and has a fabulous sense of style, yet had some difficulty articulating what she wanted.  Over a few session and lots of color swatches (and a bit of help from the internet, who watched us plan this whole wedding live!) later, we picked a yummy color palette of brown sugar (a coppery brown), cobalt blue, metallic gold and cream.   I loved how the brown sugar color worked well with the brick in the building!  Stay tuned for pictures from the actual wedding, shot by Jasmine Star – how close will our sketch be??

Thank you again to Christy from Junebug for the FABULOUS photos!
