Wedding Inspiration Board | Dream in Color and Culture – Ethnic & Gold

So we started off with a Gold Wedding Inspiration board (posted earlier today).  Now, to take it further, there are alternative ways to incorporate your traditional attire into the overall color palette, without sticking out like a Slayer fan at a Joni Mitchell concert.

Gold is used in many wedding cultures as symbol of wealth, abundance and prosperity in marriage.  From the reverence of the Sun and fire in Buddhist cultures such as Tibet and China, to prosperity and abundance in Hindu cultures such as India and Sri Lanka.

Inspiration: GOLD
