Colourful wedding ideas

Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet

My name is Tara and I’m a colour junkie. Lately I’ve been so inspired by the vibrant hues I see on my favourite design blogs. I came to Kari at Knot Planning with the goal of bringing colourful wedding ideas (and a hint of sophistication) to a Calgary bride and groom. Together we curated wedding details that are beautiful, fanciful and fun, all at the same time. I like to think of it as “Kate Spade meets Wes Anderson”. Enter several of my favourite wedding vendors and the freshly-cut grass of the Inglewood Lawn Bowling Club and voila!

Feast your eyes!

Some of the shoot highlights include:

A playful palette blending shades of green, pink, yellow and turquoise.
Bridesmaids carrying floral clutches from Sarah Mayerson Design in contrast to their bold, striped skirts from Adorn Boutique.
A selection of multi-colored boxes, filled with flowers from Sarah Mayerson Design and stacked to perfection as the centerpieces on the head table.
A graphic “sweet tooth” backdrop for the dessert table, which included pink lemonade, donuts from Jelly Modern and a sprinkle-covered wedding cake by Cakeworks.
Whimsical design elements such as a vintage cruiser, an emerald green park bench and giant balloons with vine-wrapped strings.
A graphic, boxed wedding invitation from Modern Pulp Design Studio.
