Daringly Dramatic: Modern Drapery in Drak Green & Black for a Wedding to Remember

Move over, White and ivory! We all know AND LOVE THE CLASSICS, BUT TODAY, WE'RE GETTING ADVENTUROUS WITH A BOLD, BEAUTIFUL, MODERN DESIGN. A color combination that's sure to make a statement and turn heads!

As a wedding decorator, I'm all about creating unforgettable experiences; sometimes, that means pushing the boundaries of tradition. Today, I'm diving into a bold and beautiful trend: modern dark green and black drapery for your ceremony and reception.

Why Drak Green & Black?

This unexpected color combination might raise eyebrows, but trust me, it works! A deep, sophisticated green, exudes elegance and luxury. Black adds a touch of drama and modern edge, perfect for couples who want their wedding to stand out.

The Drapery Drama:

Floor-to-ceiling drapes cascade down, framing your ceremony space or reception hall in a luxurious embrace. Alternate dark green and black panels create a striking visual rhythm, while their folds catch the light and create a sense of intimacy.

Beyond the Basics: Don't just stop at the drapes!

  • Don't forget the details: Incorporate the color scheme into other aspects of your décor, like cake, centerpieces, and invitations, for a cohesive look.

  • Linens and napkins: Texture adds depth. Mix smooth fabrics with textured ones like velvet or satin for added visual interest.

  • Floral arrangements: Incorporate deep green foliage and pops of color for a dramatic touch.

  • Consider the venue: This bold look will thrive in more extensive, modern spaces with high ceilings.

The Grand Finale: Confetti & Champagne Toast

End with a bang! Raise your glass filled with champagne for a toast amidst the swirling confetti. It's a photo opportunity (and memory) you'll never forget!

Drak green and black modern drapery might not be for the faint of heart, but it's a daring and beautiful choice for couples who crave something unique and unforgettable. So, break the mold and create a wedding that reflects your individuality and style!

I hope this blog has inspired you to consider this bold and beautiful trend for your wedding! And remember, as your wedding vendor, I'm here to help you bring your vision to life, no matter how daring it may be.

Cheers to unforgettable weddings!

Paper Wedding Dress

Yes, you read that right. This wedding dress was made out of paper, and boy was it incredible.

Let’s just take a minute to pick our jaw up off the floor and admire this work of art. Incredible... Just incredible.

Burgundy and White Paper Wedding dress

After endless hours of dreaming, brainstorming and designing, this creation came to life. It was handcrafted to perfection with each piece accounted for and hand placed to create such a masterpiece.

This styled shoot began with the unimaginable paper wedding dress and soon transformed into a chic and unique shoot, blooming rich with color.

Knowing we had to match the talent of the incredible paper dress, we researched and designed a backdrop that would not disappoint. Choosing to incorporate the colors of the dress in the backdrop we criss-crossed the burgundy and gave it space to illuminate the depth and feel.

There were so many incredible vendors involved in this project, including Sadie’s Couture Floral. Their ginormous fern arrangements provided the texture, volume, and color that this shoot needed!

I don’t know if another shoot could ever beat this one! I am still in shock of all of the talent involved in making this idea come to life.

Literary theme style shoot

Weddings don't always have to be BIG and LOUD. They can be soft and sweet as well. It's all about the love between the couple, and if its just family celebrating, then that's just as grand! 

The wedding day is about you. So make it about you. Pick your favorites, put them together, and have the best day ever! 

We loved getting to be a part of this Literary style shoot because it gives us a glimpse into just how sweet these small weddings can be!

If you read our previous blog post, then you know just how important a theme can be. This style shoot was all about books, love stories and romance, which definitely shinned through in all the small details.

Sometimes simple can make a statement as well. I mean...LOOK at this sweet waterfall of cafe lights!

Whether your wedding is a BIG get together or small gathering, make sure to find those little moments that you and your significant other can share together as newlyweds.
