Happily Obsessed with Grey Wedding Decor and Accessories

August 22, 2008 | editorial team

In a few weeks I’ll be taking the trip of a lifetime, to Zambia and Botswana, and I’m so excited I could burst! I know it’s going to be so life changing and spectacularly different than my world here in Seattle that I can’t possibly imagine it ahead of time, so instead I’m thinking about, what else, the fashion!

I’ve been joking around with my friends about shopping for my “safari style,” but much to my delight, my travel books have confirmed that it’s actually something you have to have. Hooray! Most game parks suggest or require clothing in subdued earth tones like grey, brown and khaki so you don’t attract unwanted attention of the animals (fine by me!) In anticipation of all this fabulous monochromatic fashion, my brain just can’t steer clear of searching out subdued tones in wedding looks as well. I love all of these delightful grey wedding accessories and decor items. What a glamorous and sophisticated wedding color palette they would create…

Wedding Fashion Inspiration from the Versace Couture and Fall 08 Collections

August 20, 2008 | editorial team

Ooohh…couture! I was perusing the Versace fashion website after seeing this post on Fashionologie.com about the Atelier Versace couture collection, and I found all kinds of great wedding fashion inspiration. Donatella Versace’s sexy design sketches and the gorgeous gowns created from them are simply amazing. Seeing the creative process and imagination behind her artistry is such a treat. The fabric embellishments and rich colors in these dresses could easily inspire wonderful ideas for your bridal or wedding party style. I love the oversized fabric pleats and flowers, the one shoulder neckline, the silky charmeuse fabric in periwinkle, lavender and chartreuse and the layering of black, grey and navy together in one dress.

Versace’s recent fall 08 ready-to-wear runway show paired lots of brightly colored shoes with contrasting colored dresses, which I think is a fun and modern look for bridesmaids or for your engagement party, rehearsal dinner or bridal shower ensemble.

Whimsical Wedding Cake Toppers, Hats, Crowns and Tiaras by Ashley Carter

August 18, 2008 | editorial team

Creative artist Ashley Carter of Goldbug Studio makes these whimsical and vintage inspired cake toppers, hats, crowns and tiaras that would be adorable additions to any wedding or celebration. Many of the cake toppers have hidden boxes built into them (like the little groom holding a wedding cake that’s really a tiny box! Cute!) to store your wedding ring, wedding keepsakes or other romantic treasure. I love the vision of a bride-to-be wearing one of the sparkling hats or tiaras at her bridal shower or bachelorette party, crowned queen of the day.
