Favorite Decor Elements of the Week!

We were so excited to work at the amazing venue, Seven Degree's this weekend. Surrounded by beach and the artistic environment, our design juices were at full speed. Check out a couple sneek peak photos I captured of the decor this weekend. Design concept's included silver grapevine, enhanced with color from mokara, cymbidium, and vanda orchids all in shades of purples. My favorite element from this event was most definitely the suspended head table piece. A floating 10 foot piece which was adorned with the previously mentioned elements. I can not wait to see more images from this event!

Trend Watch: Mixing Metallic

Brainstorming for the right color palette can sometimes turn into a long design session. Its important that the right color portrays the style of the decor, whether the style being traditional, modern, elegant, pretty, linear... the list goes on. Recently, our design juices led us to combine different metallic and colors to create an interesting color palette. On one occasion we used silver, gold, copper mixed with a bold turquoise. The combination of the metallic gave the design that intense glow while the turquoise popped with color.

Another interesting design we recently used combines metallic with different earthly elements. A mixture of wood, water, and metal. Each design stressed a specific element, while slightly introducing the other two elements within the design. What a great conversational piece. I really enjoy little detailed back stories behind the designs.

Stay tuned on our blog and website for the images from these two events!
