Inspiration

Recently, I had a friend inquire about creating her overall wedding vision. She was in the initial stages of planning her wedding, but needed to develop a more concise theme and just did not know where to turn to for ideas (other than her wedding planner pal, of course). I suggested looking for inspiration in magazines and books. Actually, I told her she could look in anything from an architecture based magazine to gardening or fashion. Really, anything that evokes a wish, a feeling, a desire can and should be used when designing a dream wedding. She immediately went to her local bookstore and bought a handful of magazines and started tearing out pages and pages of ideas. Within minutes, she was inspired by a home design magazine showcasing a modern loft in NYC. The loft was filled with vibrant reds, oranges and yellows and clean lines. Then and there, she knew exactly what she wanted for her wedding (after, of course checking, with her soon to be hubbie), a modern art museum inspired event. Good job, Jen!

If you have any thoughts on inspiration, please feel free to e-mail me. Thanks.
