Divine Damask

The past couple of months have been super busy here at Inspired Occasions. In addition to getting the final touches together for Della and Dino's divine damask winter wedding later this month, it was a flurry of activity planning 2 300 person weddings back to back; one with an 8 week timeline and the other with only 6 weeks! Stay tuned for details from those two amazing weddings which occurred on December 30th and January 2nd. I can't wait to share with you all of the amazing details from those two dazzling weddings.

On another note, I was delighted to see that Della and Dino's wedding invitations made it onto Plush Invitations 9 Most Memorable of '09. The bride, Della, has been amazing to work with over the past year and I can't wait to see all of the delicious details come together for her and Dino's spectacular damask inspired white and black winter wedding celebration later this month. Be sure to check out their fabulous photographer, Gabe McClintock of Perspective Eye Photography sometime in February to see images from this incredible Calgary wedding!

Think Pink Wedding Inspiration

In honour of Think Pink (Breast Cancer Awareness) month, I have decided to put together a pink inspired wedding post.  This one takes a fresh, fun and youthful approach to a very pink celebration.

Yellow Retro Inspired Wedding

There is something about the colour yellow that is just so happy.  And since weddings are such joyous occasions it seems like an ideal, yet under utilized, colour choice.  I'm loving yellow these days as well as the vintage touches that are being incorporated into so many weddings as of late.  I decided to marry the two and create a vintage inspired yellow wedding post for all of you.  I hope you enjoy it!

How cute is this bride with her yellow converse sneakers?!  I LOVE it!

There is something about the soft fluffiness of peonies that is so 50's to me.

I'm also loving this vibrant yellow bouquet.

I ADORE the following 2 vintage inspired yellow tablescape pictures.  The milk glass vases are perfect and everything pulled together creates the ideal mix of casual elegance.

After you and your guests have dined and danced the night away, how about a late night snack of mini hamburgers...

And tray passed mini milkshakes.  So 50's and so fabulous!

And then you can drive off into the sunset in a classic car.  The perfect ending to a perfect day!
