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 20: PATTERNS

We are focusing on patterns for day 20 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge, and I went with a mix of different patterns that all work beautifully together, because they are all black and white. 

I used black and white stripes as the main pattern, and complimented that with a checkered pattern and a floral pattern, plus pops of peach and tangerine.

I think the mix is fun, fresh, and sophisticated. What do you think?

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.

DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 2: AISLE STYLE

I'm back with day 2 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge - aisle style. The task was to design a wedding ceremony aisle using any color palette, style, and elements. I immediately knew that I wanted to design a beach ceremony because I adore them, and since the beach is so perfect on its own, I went with a soft, muted color palette that wouldn't overpower the surroundings. 

I used romantic shades of blush pink and peach, and lined the aisle with tons of flowers, including ombre petals, flowy fabric, lanterns, parasols, and natural elements like wood and twine. And I just couldn't resist those precious flower girls!
