{Day Dreamer} Mint, Emerald and Gold

Dear Shahzadis,

It’s been a while since I wrote a Day Dreamer post.  One where I find you inspiration for an ENTIRE wedding following something that inspired me.  Well Shahzadis, today’s post is an ode to a few colour shades that have been stuck in my mind…

A Shahzadi Affair

A Shahzadi Affair

If I were getting married, say in the spring… this would be my colour palette.

First thing’s first, I would want to create a whimsical feeling.  Mint and gold are hues that beg a soft touch. Therefore, designing an invitation that uses filigree and scroll work is a perfect!

  My invitations would look something like this:

If you’re the Shahzadi that is more daring and fun loving, consider something along the lines of Love Paper and Ink‘s wonderful Kate Spade inspired series:

This cake…. <3 I love all the frilly details grounded by the deep rich emerald!

My Ladies would be wearing something along the lines of…

mint bridesmaids elie sharp

I know… Ellie Saab. I would feel like a princess <3

The groom’s fine details..

The groom at his best

in bridal, I have a thing for this Satya Paul creation:

If you are a white dress kind of a bride, consider wearing a showstopper necklace like Mila, here:

For dinner I would have my guests dining on tables set in this manner

emerald goodness

or even this table setting might be nice, my mom and I would need to discuss this in great detail to figure out which I wanted…

or maybe I would get both.  Half the tables would be set in Emerald tableware and the other half in mint, all of course, accented with gold! :)

OMG Ladies, I might have to change my cake! LOOK at this BEAUTY!

What do you think? Which cake would you pick?

Okay back to the rest of the inspiration…

favours you ask?
I know this is corny… but i also think it’s witty… but what about after dinner “mints”

Oh dear, I love weddings… and this would be one of those lovely soft, yet striking wedding themes!

Thank you ladies, once again for day dreaming with me… See my other Day Dreamer Post {HERE}

{DayDreamer} Pastel Sugar Featuring Blush and Blue

Wow.  Did I go on a tailspin today, or what?

My mornings don’t start till I have seen something wedding.  This morning was like any other… except.. I saw this. amazingly. beautiful. cake.

Sugar Rush

This is where the tailspin occured.

For the next 3 hours… I needed to picture the wedding this cake would be at! Has that ever happened to you ladies??? It happens to me WAY more often then I want to count! So ladies… here is an inspiration post on how I would showcase this lovely creation…

At this wedding… I would wear a beautiful saree like this…

Than I got to thinking… wouldn’t a dress be Fantastic??  So I found this angelic number:

ah mazing. I know <3

What about a Lehnga?

That lehnga matches PERFECTLY with our Inspiration cake!

The invitations would look like this:

Now that everyone has been invited, here is a mandap that would look super welcoming at this wedding…

and my lovely bridesmaids would be wearing a variation of this saree…

after the ceremony, the reception might have these centrepieces…

After Dinner, the guests would help themselves to a sweet table covered in confections that are unique and dainty…

and on their way home… each guest would be given a wedding favour.. which would have to be something sweet since.. this entire post is inspired by sweetness!

and I would go home a happy happy bride..

that’s if I could get married again… to which my husband would say no..

so there you are ladies… inspiration for a wedding.. a shower.. however you want to use these ideas, is up to you..

let me know if you want more of these DayDreamer Posts

Leap into Colours by Pantone Fall 2012 Trend Report

HAPPY LEAP DAY! SHAHZADIS!

For those of you planning your weddings/events, you have an extra day of planning to get things perfect!! *YAY*

An event is a reflection of its host.  We all know this.  When you are planning an event my Shahzadis, the first place you should start is a theme.

Themes could simply be a colour combination.  Pantone came out with their hottest colour trends report for Fall 2012 and the colours are FANTASTIC!

Can you imagine a  Pink Flambe and Tango Tangerine combination?  It can be done for a ceremony or even a bridal shower or Mehndi <3 *LOVE*

Another colour I am just loving is Chartreuse!  You can center an entire event around this colour if you are feeling really bold, or use pops of this colour around your event.  Both applications are just amazing!

A really pretty colour combo for a Nikkah is using Blush tomes.. like the colour Rose Smoke

These colours are what’s hot right now. but remember… this event is yours and it should be what you want to see out of it! Make sure that you love your colour palette as it will be immortalized in the pictures for years to come.  I hope I was able to get those juices flowing! Let’s use this extra day in the year to get some solid planning done!
