This intimate yet grand wedding I just drempt up was inspired by two things:
1. Accidentally driving by Nottoway Plantation (White Castle, LA) on a road trip last year and then seeing their incredible all-white ballroom
2. A couple of photos I've drooled over for years giving me color-scheme and style ideas
Inspiration:
{The ceremony would be held in a grove of ancient oaks on the beautiful Nottoway grounds, a cocktail hour would follow inside and outside the first floor of the manse}
{Of course one must remove all wall art, furniture, and lighting...I guess the curtains can stay...but the white lace sheers must go! This ballroom is surrounded by a stunning second-floor veranda where guests can take to the sweet Louisiana breezes when not dancing to the dixieland band}
The old-world, ornate, all-white ballroom would be the most chic backdop for some really modern and color-saturated decor.
{Teal, Fuchsia, & Metalic Brass}
In the Room:
{Switch the chandeliers to some sparkley mid-century brass}
{Fabulous and geometric brass shelf holding the escort cards surrounded by an agate and crystal collection}
{Custom teal neon of the Newlywed's surname above the ornate mantels}
{Well you've just got to have a brass cake, don't you?}
At the White Linened Tables:
{Bride and Groom's chairs (that textile - I could die!), Guest chairs}
{Polished brass and vintage teal glass vessels with fuchsia ranunculus and peonies, and a sprinkling of white plaster busts all on a white neon-filled perspex box provide a fascinating an super-cool centerpiece cluster}
Now that's a wedding with style!
I can't wait for you to get married so I can attend what will undoubtedly be, the swankiest wedding of the century! =)
