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!

Colourful wedding ideas

Some of the shoot highlights include:

  1.  A playful palette blending shades of green, pink, yellow and turquoise.
  2. Bridesmaids carrying floral clutches from Sarah Mayerson Design in contrast to their bold, striped skirts from Adorn Boutique.
  3. A selection of multi-colored boxes, filled with flowers from Sarah Mayerson Design and stacked to perfection as the centerpieces on the head table.
  4. 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.
  5. Whimsical design elements such as a vintage cruiser, an emerald green park bench and giant balloons with vine-wrapped strings.
  6. A graphic, boxed wedding invitation from Modern Pulp Design Studio.
