I've been thinking a lot lately about what makes a feeling. But not just any feeling.. you know the ones, the feelings that leave you breathless, where you feel like you may have somehow stepped right into a dream and have no interest in ever coming back. Is there some way to foster this moment for ourselves? Some formula we can follow to allow our sights, sounds, and other senses to be enveloped in that blissful beauty? I don't think it will ever be that simple. However, I do think there is some solace to be found, certain aspects: colours, details, compositions, can be used to help create a more ethereal design and thus that dreamy, lovey, floating on air feeling.


Let's be real, we could all use more of that, especially when it comes to our wedding day. And thats what I want to look at today. Together we will look at the most inspiring of wedding details and examine what about them is lending that beautiful feeling, so that we can recreate it for ourselves.

Playing with textures is huge for creating a balanced wedding design! Pairing soft with hard, rugged with clean lines is sure to create a whimsical moment.


Light also plays a huge role as we will see in all of these posts. Soft sunset light can never go wrong. If you want to factor this into more of your wedding day consider playing with your timeline, can you have a cocktail hour first followed by an evening ceremony? Or a dinner outside in the setting sun?


Colours play such a huge role in the feeling you want to create for your wedding. Pinks bring romance and blues bring a sense of calm, the perfect combination for a dreamscape. Earthy greens bring balance, and darker tones bring mood.
