Thinking outside the box...

Happy New Year!
I feel awful having abandoned my beloved blog for sooo long, but my New Year's Resolution has been to keep sharing my experiences and ideas with you all! So many people have asked me when the next blog post will be, so Myah, Stacey and Karis...this one is especially for you!

Also, as a side note, a MASSIVE congratulations to my very own Disney Princess Myah, who got engaged to her partner Lawrence during his recent visit to Florida, where the lovely Myah is completing her second Cultural Representative Program with the Big Cheese, Mickey Mouse himself! Exciting stuff!

So, the inspiration for blog post comes from a lady who contacted me recently about her upcoming wedding. Her colour scheme is red and navy, since her husband to be is in the military. Initially I thought I would hit an inspirational wall, but having done a little bit of research, I came up with an inspiration board that I hope she will love.

The venue, Hintlesham Hall, is a Grade 1 listed Country House that sits snugly on the Suffok / Essex border and truly is stunning. Having had connections to the Tudor Royals, and prestigious families throughout it's lengthy history, it's easy to see how prospective Brides and Grooms could consider it the perfect place to say 'I do' and begin married life together. 

The Bride to Be wanted classic elegance with a hint of sparkle, and so I came up with collage of images that I feel would do the venue justice,


The more I looked at this colour scheme, the more I fell in love with it. For the second time this year, I've been asked to do something a bit different, and I am finding new possibilities outside of my comfort zone! This colour scheme works. It's rich, it's classic and if done properly, is really elegant! 

What are your thoughts on colour schemes 'outside the box'? Let me know in the comments section!

Take a risk and you'll surprise yourself :)
