Imagination Couture | Moroccan Sunset Wedding Inspiration
If you’re like me and you’re drawn to the richness and colors of eastern cultures, you are certain to be familiar with an abundance of color. Be it clothing, artwork, tapestries, or house wares color is an explosion and often combined in ways we are not as accustomed to here in the West. If you want to include an abundance of colors at your wedding reception, tread lightly. You certainly don’t want to end up vomiting color on every wall. The average designer will discourage you from selecting more than 2 maybe 3 colors, but I’ll let you know, it can be done tastefully. Ethnic themes are great ways to incorporate an explosion of color into your event. Earlier we sampled a pink, purple and blue Moroccan theme; here is another, more “colorful” palate for your wedding inspiration. TIPS: Using one neutral tone in various shades allows you to spice it up with every color under the rainbow, without looking like a hot mess!

Imagination Board – Lavender & Lemongrass Part 2
As promised, part two of the Lavender Imagination board by request. I’ve loved working on these boards, and I am so excited to continue working on others boards in the future. Again if you’d like your own spark of imagination created for your upcoming event, contact me, and we can project your dreams and images into a full imagination board.

Imagination board – Lavender & Sage Romance
I recently receive a request via submissions to create an imagination board for someone’s upcoming outdoor, barn style wedding. Colors selected for the outdoor wedding are lavender and sage and the bride also wanted to incorporate her favorite flowers – hydrangeas and lavender. The couple selected a cute historic location for their wedding, with the ceremony taking place outside under a large tree in the yard. Their cocktail reception encourages their guest to experience the quaintness of the historic site while they run off to snap a few photos. And the full reception is planned indoors in the rustic quarters of the ancient barn.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together. I’m delivering this to you in two parts, since the bride also requested some assistance with her overall appearance for the bridal party as well as the wedding itself. So be sure to tune in again tomorrow and check out the lavender romance wardrobe.

Northern Lights Imagination
There is absolutely no way I can cover the Olympic Opening ceremony inspiration without including the incredible Northern Lights! I was absolutely astounded at the imagery they were able to recreate with light. The Northern Lights are one of the great wonders of the world, and the interpretation for the ceremonies is certainly right up there.
Yesterday I covered the less colorful side, but as I said before, I love, love love, color; so this imagination board was a ton of fun! And this makes two multicolored boards now – whoever would have thought!
