DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 25: FREESIA

Freesia is one of Pantone's colors for the Spring, and I decided to pair it with gray and green for day 25 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge. 

I designed a cheerful early Summer affair with loads of succulents and lemons and even succulents inside of lemons! Greenery drapes the ceremony space and the bride's hair, while guests are greeted by a refreshing lemonade stand and personalized favors.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 24: 2014 TREND OF CHOICE

For day 24 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge, it's another 2014 wedding trend of choice, and I'm going with the Grecian look. I chose flowy white fabric, lots of greenery, and gold accents for a simple yet elegant affair.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 11: HEMLOCK

Yippee, another Pantone 2014 Spring color for day 11 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge. 

Introducing Hemlock. 

This muted mint green shade is soft, romantic, calming, and blends perfectly with French blue and ivory for an outdoor seaside affair, complete with antique and vintage decor.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 9: SWEETHEART TABLE

I have to admit, I had a slow start to day 9 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge because my couples don't typically opt for sweetheart tables. But, once I got started, I got caught up in the romance of it all and started thinking of all the fun little things I could do to make it truly unique.

I present to you, my wedding sweetheart table inspiration...

I went with an oversized deep purple velvet vintage couch, antique white table, and beautifully arranged pink and purple flowers in silver mint julep cups. The napkins are personalized with the couple's silhouettes and names, and sit on silver chargers. The forks say "I do" and "me too", the framed print announces the place where they first met, and glittery lights hang above.

A small bowl of mints, heart champagne glasses, and their favorite drinks await them. A special surprise gift from me wrapped in their wedding colors sits, begging to be opened. And attached to their napkins are love notes that I had them write to each other the day before - ahhh, I'm in love.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 5: TROPICAL

Tropical is the theme for day 5 of the Full Circle Eventi design challenge, and I opted for a high-end, elegant affair with lots of string lights, string flowers and pops of bright colors like purple, pink, leafy green, and orange. 

Modern, colorful invitations give the first impression, while rattan chargers, a simple linen napkin, and a single bloom complete the place settings.
