The movie poster that crept into the collective unconscious?
For the longest time, brides were waking up on the silver side of the bed. And then one day in October 2013 or thereabouts, they flipped over and woke up on the gold side. Not a bad side to be on. Warm, romantic, aglow. A little more decadent than stately silver. I love it – and yet I do wonder why the shift… We can’t really pin it all on Baz Luhrmann.
Whatever the reason, every third bride in my studio wants to see gold. They’re requesting it specifically in the hardware: vases, candle holders, other assorted props. The blush+ivory+sand+peach color scheme that saw us through so many silver-accented weddings of recent memory makes an easy transfer into these golden days. But the more richly-hued palettes work well, too. I can’t wait to create a deep eggplant floral scheme in an elegant gold vase, with pops of saturated fuchsia. Where are you, that-bride?
So now the big question is, which vases to buy? (And perhaps just as important, what to do with all the silver??)
