Day 28 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge is Vintage Glam, which is one of my all-time favorite weddings styles. For this particular inspiration, I chose a silver and gold color palette with pops of deep blue-green.
The style is elegant and glamorous without being over-the-top. The ceremony is draped with dramatic white and gold fabric, while green decor adorns the chairs. The long dining tables are dressed with a textured silver runner and white feathers are added sparingly to the white centerpieces, while the napkins, wrapped in gold rope and crystal, sit atop antique gold chargers.
Popcorn in fancy shimmery holders is passed during cocktail hour and the ornate vanilla cream cake gives guest a little sugar rush to help them dance late into the night.

Happy Valentine's Day, lovers!
To celebrate, I'm sharing my Valentine's Day wedding inspiration, which includes gorgeous jewels from Brilliant Earth, who asked me to participate in their Valentine's Day Style Challenge.
Not only does Brilliant Earth design some drop-dead gorgeous sparklers, but they're also dedicated to socially and environmentally responsible sourcing, so all of their diamonds and engagement rings are ethically sourced - how great is that? Everything they do is of the highest standards and they even donate 5% of their profits to directly benefit communities harmed by the jewelry industry. I would highly recommend checking them out - you might even find some gifts for your bridal party!
I started my design with Brilliant Earth's 18K white gold petite shared prong diamond ring and their 18K white gold pave heart diamond stud earrings - totally loving those. From there, I added lots of full red and pink blooms, heart details, and pops of silver and gold, for a fun, sophisticated, modern wedding filled with tons of beauty and love.

I love challenges. Like really, really love them. I try to do as many as possible in all areas of my life - health and wellness, writing and blogging - and now, design. Thanks to Lia Moore of Full Circle Eventi, I am exercising my creative muscles with her 30 day designer challenge. I'll be designing a new wedding-related inspiration board every day for the whole month of January, based on different criteria, in the hopes to inspire all of you brides who are searching for unique wedding ideas.
If you're interested in hopping on board, you can sign up at Full Circle Eventi. And don't forget to check back here every day this month to see my interpretation of Lia's daily challenges.
The challenge for day 1 was to design a wedding using the Pantone color of the year - radiant orchid! I decided to pair this purple-pinky shade with mint green and gold, along with dark wood accents for a bohemian lovefest filled with vintage, organic, and quirky details. I hope you love it!

We're feeling a bit fancy today and are just smitten by these gorgeous Bettye Muller heels at BHLDN. The peep toes are covered in gold suede and adorned with sparkly stars and tulle. Yes, tulle. It's not just for dresses anymore.
What more could you ask for in a wedding day shoe?
Sadly, these beauties are sold out at the moment, but we are holding out every bit of hope that they will come back soon! And in the meantime, we can just stare and admire them.
Basketweave on a shoe? I say, ABSOLUTELY, especially when it's made out of all sorts of glitter and gold. These super shimmery heels from BHLDN are fancy enough to wear with your best party dress, yet the chunky heel ensures that you'll be comfortable enough to dance the night away.
