Inspired by Alma: Vintage Purple and Bronze Inspiration Board

Candice — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:05:06 +0000

Generous and gorgeous bride Alma bid on our donated services for an auction to raise money for Wish Upon a Wedding, a non-profit charity founded on the principle of giving someone with a terminal illness the opportunity to marry the love of their life. I was so excited to design an inspiration board for her– focusing on the gorgeous color story she had developed of purples. With some adjectives and a few images to go on, I designed the below inspiration board!

{ purple prada shoes from dress, design & decor; marion cotillard in vogue july 2010 from stylefrizz; purple bouquet and elegant branch centerpiece by caplan miller events and via style me pretty; carnation arrangements in mercury glass with mirrored balls by blush floral design; groom with bouquet via jubilee events as photographed by carla ten eyck and designed by just for you floral design; majorily gorg purple interior via the simply luxurious life; pretty bride with maids dressed in purple via style me pretty; vintage rolls royce via style me pretty }

I guess purple has been inspiring me for longer than I realized. Thank you so much Alma for supporting such a wonderful cause. xxoo~

A Modern Photo Shoot at the Loading Dock in Stamford, Connecticut

Candice — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 20:28:55 +0000

At the beginning of April I flew back into the US from Paris fired up about the incredible shoot I had collaborated on with Robert and Kathleen Trenske and Beth Chapman. I had a few days to switch out my luggage from cute Parisian clothes to long, flowy summer dresses as we geared up for our trip to Costa Rica! In between, we planned a Style Me Pretty Inspiration to Reality shoot. Yeah, I know– are we nuts or what?! In fact, we left the Style Me Pretty shoot and headed straight to the airport for Costa Rica!

I’m so excited to share this shoot with you, which was featured on Style Me Pretty in three separate posts which you can view here: part one, part two, and part three. It was an honor to put together this modern, sleek, minimal, citrus inspired shoot for our friends at Style Me Pretty. The caliber of shoots that they feature are incredible and we are so grateful to be among them! The inspiration board for our shoot was designed by Style Circle member Lena.

I love this board– mostly because it is such a departure from my own personal style. We all loved the minimal feel of the board, the citrus and bold colors. We took that as our main source of inspiration and set out to design a shoot with our incredible team! Speaking of, here are the talented and creative folks who made this shoot possible:

Photography: Carla Ten Eyck Photography
Flowers: Datura: A Modern Garden

Event Design: Jubilee Events

Event Planning: Jubilee Events with help from 14 Stories

Model Styling, Dresses and Accessories: The White Dress by the Shore

Reception Location: The Loading Dock

Hair & Makeup: Dana Bartone & Co.

Catering: Jordan Caterers

Cake & Confections: Ana Parzych

Invitations: Gus & Ruby Letterpress

Shoes: Zappos

Furniture Rentals: Taylor Creative Inc.

Ring Bowls, Place Cards, Ribbon, and Thank You Notes: Paloma’s Nest

Edible Champagne Flowers: Wild Hibiscus

Tableware, Glassware & Chargers: Party Rental Ltd.

Our color story ranged from bright white to orange, green, yellow, with hints of pink. We were inspired by the chandelier at The Loading Dock and integrated some of that sparkle in beautiful details and accessories– like the gorgeous jewelry and accessories from The White Dress by the Shore. Dana Bartone, inspired by the sleek makeup and styling of the model in our inspiration board, created a beautiful bun for our bride Kate. I love how her hair is so defined and slightly retro! The bouquet hanging in the chandelier and held by our bride, Linsdsay, was made of white miniature phaelonopsis orchids with lily grass.

Paloma’s Nest created wooden thank you cards for our couple that doubled as favors. They were tucked in glass line envelopes! Our bridesmaid, dressed in a lemon shantung frock from Chic by the Shore, carried a bouquet of trachelium, aspidistra and fresh cut limes , created by Datura: A Modern Garden.

I had SO much fun designing this tablescape along with Tony of Datura. It was a real challenge for me, personally, but I absolutely love the crisp and modern outcome! We used a ghost table from Taylor Creative Inc., as the basis of our design. Tony created a STUNNING centerpiece of curly willow branches known as “the cyclone” that grew out of the table and into the ceiling of The Loading Dock. It was accentuated with shades of orange clementines, blood oranges, and sweet valencia oranges. Tony wove in eucharis orchid’s into the tablescape for a touch of femininity and a pop of white. Each place setting had an orange glass charger with white frosted place settings. We submerged white frill tulips into the champagne glasses (one of my favorite details!) and also used them to top our clementine place card holders, which were created using wooden rings by Paloma’s Nest.

The paper suite was created by Gus & Ruby Letterpress. They decided on a clean, minimalist design that made use of the bright citrus color palate and hard, architectural lines of the industrial venue in white, orange, and grey with a hint of green. The paper suite was completely letterpress, including the cute citrus elements that we garnished our drink display with!

Tony of Datura created a citrus garland for our brides made of clementines, blood oranges and limes. The second bouquet, carried by Kate, was made of wedding belle daffodils with aspidistra. The menu cards on our table, also by Gus & Ruby were letterpress in orange ink and noted the delicious menu, as crafted by Jordan Caterers.

The ring bowl, an intrinsic part of the inspiration board was also by Paloma’s Nest. It was edged in gold and had our couple’s initials inscribed on the face. Our maid, Kelly, switched from a papaya colored jewel necklace by The White Dress by the Shore and into a custom designed necklace by Datura made of green hypericum berry, amber and minature phaelonopsis orchids.

The white leather couch was from the furniture collection at Taylor Creative, Inc. Ana Parzych created the White Tahitian Vanilla cake layered with Passion Fruit mousseline. It was finished in swiss meringue buttercream and vanilla fondant. Ana created fondant-molded pearls and hand-sculpted sugar lilies.

Jordan Caterers created a menu based on our inspiration board with sea infused menu items such as seared tuna, shrimp, scallops, lobster. They infused citrus in both color and flavor of the entrees and our cocktail bar, made up of key lime martini’s and passion fruit prosecco. We submerged edible wild hibiscus into some of our cocktails, too!

The AMAZING silver shoes with flower embellishment are from Zappos.com… our absolute FAVORITE website for shoes!

And a few behind-the-scenes images of our lovely and delightful photo shoot crew! Thanks to all for your creativity and hard work. It was such a pleasure collaborating with you!

Costa Rica: Behind the Scenes Part II

Candice — Fri, 07 May 2010 12:57:07 +0000

Our first day we landed in Costa Rica in the late afternoon and were welcomed by our hosts, StayInCostaRica.com and MMH Marketing with a cocktail and some delicious food– which was cooked up all week long by our man, Jose. To say we were exhausted would be an understatement! I must put this into perspective for you– the day before we put together an awesome photo shoot for Style Me Pretty and literally left Stamford, Connecticut to head to the airport (and wait 5 hours for our midnight flight!). With a 5 hour layover in Mexico City (which added to the delirium) we finally touched down around the time we wrapped up our photo shoot the day before. Weee!

The hospitality of our hosts really got us ready for the next day, which was a full day of shooting and scouting for locations. We met up with our photographers who got up to watch the sunrise and photograph our models surfing in the morning. The spot for our first shoot was where Larry of StayInCostaRica.com and our models Michelle and Alejandro surf every morning– Playa Hermosa . It’s a black sand beach with gorgeous views. It’s also where the International Quicksilver Surf Championships is held every year in August. We decided that for our beach shoot, the parking lot would be our ideal spot. A parking lot — I know. Even Larry said, I can’t believe we’re shooting in the dump where I park my car every morning!!! But seriously– it was so beautiful and had every element we were looking for. And to be quite honest, we can make ANYTHING look good.

After chose the beach, Carla, Mike, Tony and I went on a Costa Rican adventure to find the rain forest location for our second shoot… wait until you see it! Shout out to our friends The White Dress by the Shore and DD Nickel who were also part of our scouting adventure.

Things We Love, Vol. #6

Candice — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:05:13 +0000

Boy, it is cold and windy outside today. We’re working on an amazing winter themed wedding photoshoot for you which I can’t wait to share. In light of the recently snowy situation here in Connecticut I thought it would be the perfect time to share some winter inspiration! Grab some hot cocoa and a chunky throw…

Loving this Evergreen, Silver and Citron color story / inspiration board from Flights of Fancy.

Style Me Pretty recently featured this amazing wedding in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Also totally loving this winter inspired engagement shoot.

Our friend Nina, who is the knower of all things petite and fabulous, shared with us her amazing christmas decorations this year. Check them out! Oh Joy! also featured some of those amazing christmas bulbs on their website. Why do I love these so much?

S’mores are perfect any season, but especially during the winter months. Elizabeth Ann Designs blogged about these amazing s’more favors. It is all about packaging. It makes the mundane extraordinary! I also love this felt rosette wreath they posted too. I’m in love with ruffles this season!

The Party Dress created an amazing inspiration board for a Martini and Mistletoe soiree. Yes please!

These hand made snow flakes remind me of elementary school…. and Elf! Such a great way to decorate the house (and inexpensive)!

Snippet and Ink posted their newest board, Baby it’s Cold Outside. Makes me want to have a winter wedding!! I’m also loving the slight retro feeling of their other board, Ivory and Evergreen.

and last, but not least…

via classic bride

Yes, I know. I’m not sure if this is winter inspiration but I had to post about it. I’m looking forward to the day when a bride hands me this picture and says, “Candice, design a wedding for me around THIS!”

A girl can dream, right?

I’m totally inspired by this colorful room full of different textures on Apartment Therapy. It reminds me of the style of my first apartment in college. Expect an inspiration board on this soon!

These printable airmail invitations are so cute and fun! Have you visited Vintage Glam’s transformed and new blog, Ruffled yet?

Green Wedding Shoes posted the amazing country / modern wedding of Rebecca & Jason. I adore the cakes!

This paper chandelier from Pottery Barn is so much fun! Oh So Beautiful Paper inspired us with it — I’m going to do something with these in an upcoming photoshoot!

A purple inspiration board by Creature Comforts is my favorite for this week. Love the lavender, muted colors and feel!

The Party Dress posted a great artichoke place card holder — with the top sliced off and the interior hollowed out to make room for a tealight. Love it! I love using food as candle and place card holders.

Junko Yoshioka’s studio tour on brooklyn bride was so inspiring! I love the light, styling, and pure white everywhere. It’s like a bridal dream world. Wouldn’t you love to try on dresses here?

Ode to Domino

Candice — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:11:46 +0000

I received my very last issue of Domino Magazine a few days ago. I was so upset to hear earlier this month that the magazine would be publishing its last issue in March. It is my go-to for inspiration and I am beyond upset that it will no longer be published. What other magazine embraced our inner vintage, bohemian side?

C’est la vie… Good thing I’ve hung onto every copy published! I will have to hang on to my next favorite magazine, Real Simple (although my love for it has never been quite the same since my friend Amanda pointed out that the entire magazine is just a walking advertisement. Thanks Amanda!!) I feel like with the popularity of blogging, more and more readers are turning to the internet for design inspiration and less to the glossy pages of popular magazines. This is even evident in the bridal world, with the popularity of the Southern Weddings Blog and Style Me Pretty. Their content is equally relevent and gratification: instint! Why should we wait a whole two months, or worse yet a quarter, for a bridal magazine to be published?

What magazines are your favorites and provide inspiration in design, business, life? What are your favorite design blogs? Similar Posts:
