What Inspires You

What inspires you? Architecture, pieces of jewelry, vacation location, sculptures…? When you choose your wedding colors, themes and; style, what is it that gets you to that “ah-ha” moment when you know that you’ve seen exactly what it is you want your perfect day to be like? Pantone’s 2011 Color of the Year, Honeysuckle, is described as “Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world” (Source).


An absolutely, wonderful flower to be inspired by! It has hues of pink, red, peach, raspberry, orange - and; can be paired with so many other fabulous colors!


“Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day – with nothing “everyday” about it” (Source).

The Orange Shoes

Our “Green Bride”, Melissa, wore her mother's veil and had jewelry from women in her family melted down and formed to create her wedding band.


















Bamboo plates and flatware rolled up inside a recycled paper bag.


Invitations made from flower-seed paper that guests could plant after the wedding and; Tennessee Orange wine!

Melissa is a huge UT fan...so of course, she wore orange shoes which her groom, Brandon, picked out for her!

Melissa's additional eco-friendly and/or DIY's within her wedding day:
  • Uncle Bobby catered BBQ
  • Aunt Regina created beautiful floral decor
  • Mom, JoAnn, baked and decorated over 150 cupcakes
  • Birdseed favors handmade by Bride and Groom
  • Centerpieces created by Bride's Dad, Mike 
  • Table runners hand stitched by Bride's Mom, JoAnn 
  • Flower children wagon beautifully painted and decorated by Bride's parents
