Our color scheme is very simple, yet I think that it will portray exactly what we’d like our wedding to represent. I hate to be another damask bride, but I assure you that it was beyond my control—damask has an undeniable power over me. It’ll be subtle, but you can count on some damask details!
Our decor will be mainly composed of three colors: ivory, gold, and black. To add some warmth to the room, we’ll have a ton of pillar and votive candles on every table, bar, counter-top, and even in the restroom!
The more obvious damask details will only be on a few tables, where we’ll use table runners and simple flowers.

I just love the warmth of candlelight, and I’m so excited to see how the snow outside will change the feeling of the reception inside!
How will you enhance your reception site to fit your needs?

ooh la la so pretty
Unexpected snow (in St. Louis, it could very well be 75 in December) was the highlight of our wedding. I just love your photo montage and think that damask is beautiful!

So pretty! It’s nice to see someone else having a winter wedding! Your wedding looks like it will beautiful.
Your wedding is going to be so gorgeous…I like your idea of “warmth” paired with the snow…so cozy! And that is such an elegant color scheme! I can’t wait to see it all unfold!
I can’t wait to see how it all turns out! I’m getting married late this fall and am using the same colors and hints of damask too- didn’t want to go overboard. Maybe I’ll have some that you’ll want when the wedding is over! Have fun planning!
You have absolutely incredible taste and style, and I love the inspiration baord you created to show us your ideas. Truly beautiful! I cannot wait to see your wedding pictures… I love candlelight. Happy planning!

Fab idea - I’m so putting candles in the restrooms at our wedding now!
[...] You may recall Champ and I are going for an elegant and romantic wedding day. Our colors are gold and ivory with subtle touches of deep red hues. We’ll have a ton of candles, and the outdoor fire pit will be visible from our guests’ tables. Champ and I agreed that this dress seems like a timeless style and it fits both our ceremony and our venue locations. [...]

About Me: I'm a small town mountain girl with a city heart. Found my way to the east coast, and Mr. Champagne kept me here so we're planning a wedding from afar in my hometown Vail, Colorado. I'm secretly obsessed with reality TV, Wii games where I can shoot a gun, country music, and Caesar: Dog Whisperer. I also spend time pretending to golf, backseat driving, having one way conversations with our MinPin Maxwell, loving champagne, and wedding perfecting… I mean, planning. I use way too many repeated symbols and letters when I write, and I'll love Mr. Champagne endlessly…
