Fashion Friday... Spring/Summer Color Trends 2012

TRENDS IN COLORS & TEXTURES

 A season of more eclectic, open styles.
Colors play on contrasts and paradoxes to surprise us and can be mixed without restraint:
- Subdued tones for reassuring elegance
- Natural, restful colors
- Exuberant, vivid flashes for fun and festivities
- Diaphanous colors for new romanticism with an eye on the future
A season with very subtle changes in textures and effects.
The beautiful classics play at innovation.
Surface effects and finishes are inspired by nature, but an idealized nature.
Technical materials go sophisticated and romantic.
Textures and materials fuse to create vibrating effect.

Featured Wedding... Emily & Mike

I'm so excited to have Emily and Mike's wedding featured in The Best Wedding Magazine! 

I had such a fun time designing their vintage birdcage-inspired wedding.  Emily was easy-going and calm throughout the whole planning process, and Mike, a talented graphic designer, created all the stationery, including handmade invitations out of paper towels!

Fashion Friday... Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 Collection.

The fantasy land carousel and sugar plum spring collection by Marc Jacob's for Louis Vuitton is a wonderful campy dream.  Marc brings back the feminine 60's style with pastel hues, peekaboo cutouts, tweeds and ostrich feathers.
