DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 27: BALLOONS

Day 27 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge introduces us to BALLOONS! Probably not the first thing you would think of as you design your wedding, but when used in a fresh and modern way, they can be breathtaking. 

I chose peach and white over-sized balloons and paired them with lots of tassels and fringe. The coral and gray invitations hint at balloons with a subtle design, and the guest book even incorporates balloons by encouraging guests to leave their fingerprints and signature.

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 18: PALOMA

It's another Pantone color for day 18 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge - Paloma, a muted neutral gray - which I paired with a pastel watercolor palette of very light pink, blue, and yellow. 

The dark gray pillar candles stand out on the tables amongst a sea of pale prettiness. The watercolor pattern appears on the invitations, escort cards, and cake, while the bridesmaids glow in their mismatched, but coordinated frocks. A perfect palette for a spring or summer fete.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 14: SAND

When I first started thinking about ideas for day 14 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge - to design a wedding using the Pantone color, Sand - I thought I would pair it with vibrant colors like poppy red and slate blue or lemon yellow and teal. 

All of those would be beautiful, don't get me wrong, but instead, I decided to let the sand hue shine amongst other neutrals, like shades of gray and tan. I wanted to show how beautiful a greige (gray and beige) wedding can be when paired with lots of texture and interest.

The key to making a beige wedding look, well, not beige (interpretation: boring), is to use many different shades to add visual appeal. I think this combination is anything but boring.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 8: CELOSIA ORANGE

Oh happy day! Day 8 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge was to design a wedding using another one of Pantone's colors: Celosia Orange. And since orange just happens to be my all-time favorite color, I had a ton of fun with this one.

I decided to counteract this vibrant hue with a pale peach and soft gray, and I'm loving the result - a laid-back, romantic, pretty affair with lots of personal touches and colorful details.
