Buttered Springtime Theme

by onewhitedress on 09/04/10 at 10:35 am

Inspired by the Azure Blue sky outside my window and the passing of Winter here in Australia, this theme was born. Combining the soft tones of pale Yellows with delicate Green, it’s Springtime on a plate… Smothered in butter.

As modern Brides we often spend all our time and most of our precious energy looking for continuity in our choices. Matching that perfect shade with precise execution and keeping our finger on the pulse of every minute detail. Half the time it’s easy to forget what you adore and rather just hone-in to elements that match your colour scheme. This theme however, is a little different… Whilst maintaining a sublime balance of tonal layering and texture, ever so slightly combined with an intriguing miss-matched contrast. It looks as if it was thrown together with little thought or effort, making for an intoxicating result.

Of course putting together a theme like this one may not come as ‘accidentally’ as one may perceive. The brides gown for example, a bohemian styled piece with a relaxed yet chic appeal harmonises meticulously with this luscious cascading bouquet. This ‘pulled-together’ floral style is continued with layers of blooms in glass vases, lining the reception tables. Even the flower girls are kept it tune with pretty floral halo’s and even favours go with the flow as each guest is presented with a bespoke gingham basket filled with handmade cookies and jam. It’s like a country fair on particularly stylish steroids.

So no matter the theme or the colours you chose, try a little delicacy as you put the elements together. Combine not only colour, but layers of texture and loving care and leave a lasting impression of your inner Springtime bride, with a little butter on the side. ♥
