Such an important topic when it comes to weddings. I can't tell you how many brides I meet that come to me with a vision of colors that don't really scream wedding. Sometimes they scream high school prom! So what's a event designer to do? My job is to take your vision and enhance it a bit. Sometimes it showing you how the slightest tweak in your color palette can create the stylish event you're envisioning. Another big tip is don't always think about what is trendy right now. Trends come and go quick in the wedding world. Timeless and classic will never go out of style. Much love! XoXo Ginger |
