DESIGNER CHALLENGE DAY 10: NO FLOWERS
I love flowers so incredibly much. So it was a little bit gut-wrenching to design a wedding without using any flowers at all for day 10 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge. But, I'm always up for a challenge!
And instead of going completely away from the look of flowers and using just candles or ribbons or enormous balloons or paper cranes - all of which are completely gorgeous with or without the addition of flowers, I decided to use herbs and veggies.
I just love the fresh and organic feel of greenery at a wedding - and I'm loving the different shades of green herbs overflowing from a wooden centerpiece. Escort cards are pinned into different types of vegetables, brussel sprouts are combined into tree arrangements, an artichoke sits atop the groom's lapel, and herbs are set up at the ceremony for a festive herb petal toss. What a great celebration for a foodie couple! And the best part is that all of the decor can be saved and eaten afterwards - love that.

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 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 7: 2014 TREND OF CHOICE
It's another "2014 trend of choice" pick for day 7 of the Full Circle Eventi challenge, and this time I'm focusing on bridal fashion.
From super short skirts, to long lace sleeves, sexy backs, shades of pink, and decorative elements, I've compiled some of my favorites here - which one is your favorite? I'm kind of feeling like that short lace Monique Lhuillier frock (#1 below) might be quickly becoming my new obsession!
