I find that the most beautiful weddings often start with a single idea. I love the creative process of identifying the detail that makes the difference to the overall design. Each Tuesday I will identify some details and illustrate how they ultimately translate to the finished design. I hope you are inspired to look around at the bits and pieces you have collected and how they might become the cornerstone of your big day!
I have selected some photographs and scans from a wedding we just completed at The Breakers in Palm Beach to clearly illustrate how the detail of the dress fabric became the common thread throughout the design.
THE INSPIRATION.
The gorgeous fabric from the Oscar de la Renta dress that we used as a design element throughout.
Hand-painted dance floor fashioned from the fabric.

I am thrilled that you have a blog. The wedding from the Equionx, VT has been such an inspiration to me as I have been planning my memorial day weekend wedding in Telluride, CO. Good luck, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Cheers

That hand carved chuppah is extraordinary! One question: what happens to it after the wedding?
