"East Meets Guest" Inspiration from Brides Magazine

This inspiration board from Brides Magazine is almost a literal translation of EYE CANDY! Your eyes will just savor every little piece of bright colored goodness. Sometimes when we are focused on picking "wedding colors" we forget that it can be "wedding colorS" ~ plural! The creative folks that put together this elegant, yet explosive, scene simply incorporated some of the rich colors and patterned textiles that can be found all over Asia. They've designed a reception with the East in mind—the sunny chains of marigolds that mark every Indian festivity, the brilliant batiks of Indonesia, the vibrant tints of Japanese prints and origami.


Key your flowers to the season and infuse them with hidden blessings: in China, peonies represent the spring; lotus blooms are linked to the summer and to purity; chrysanthemums are plentiful in the fall; and Asian-themed winter weddings look best with plum blossoms, which feature five petals—one for each god of good luck.
