Today’s Tuesday inspiration is dedicated to a soon-to-be-bride, who’s upcoming wedding was the driving force behind this new take on Plum and Chartreuse. Her name is Monique, and she made a specific request via our submission’s page, for ideas on her fusion wedding in 2010. Here’s the scoop:
Bride’s Request: Monique, a savvy bride-to-be, wanted to pay homage to her Chinese heritage without going the expected route of incorporating red (the color of luck). Her groom is French, and they will be tying the knot next summer in a vineyard chateau in France (I know…envy can be the fuel for creativity:-). Colors: Plum and Chartreuse. Style: Modern & Romantic
Inspiration: French/Asian Style

Dream in Color, Dream in Culture.
