I've been accumulating loads of photos for the upcoming holiday post {in large part thanks to all of you, who have so graciously e-mailed or left comments with great leads! Keep them coming!!!} and thought I'd share a blueprint of a wedding that won't be making the final cut.
I originally had the idea of creating a winter wedding with an unexpected warm-toned palette of muted golds, lacquered blacks and stark whites. I didn't want the celebration to scream 'Christmas' with the expected red + green color combo and thought the metallic shine of the golds would be enough to create a festive air.
In essence, a holiday slant on the much-loved nuptials of springchic - just trading sparkly gold in for the cheerful yellow. The photo above served as the cornerstone, demonstrating a mix of tradition and elegance. I imagined a wreath of golden bells adorning the front door with swags of Magnolia leaves {many turned upside down revealing their golden-brown side} draped around the entrance awaiting guests. Tuxes would have made an appearance as well as this vintage Benz:

And these simple-edged Kate Spade place settings seemed perfect for the golden affair.
But ... for now, I'm working on a holiday palette ruled mostly by greens and whites ... okay, a few pops of red may show up here or there. Coming soon!
great china!
