I am leaving tomorrow to attend my best friends' wedding in Sea Island. I say "best friends'" in that both the bride and the groom are two of my favorite people. Hoyt and I decided to make a mini-vacation out of it so we can hang out with our friends before the BIG DAY~!!
{katie and me}
So, I got to thinking about Katie's wedding and the colors that will be involved...
White
Ivory
green
coral
The bridesmaids' dresses are green- (I just asked Hoyt to describe what color green it is and he thought for a minute and said "an indescribably good green." -- take it for what it's worth)
Katie, of course, will be in white and carrying a white/ivory/cream bridal bouquet. The rest of the flowers will be green and white, with pops of coral!
I love this color scheme so much I decided to try something new...
Have you ever visited the blog snippet & ink? Kathryn, the designer, puts together wedding collages based on a certain color schemes... and the collaborations she comes up with are so beautiful! I'm amazed by the things she puts together. (if you are planning a wedding or will be planning one in the future I recommend going to her blog for inspiration)
This is one example her inspiration boards:
<both of the above images from snippet&ink>
Anyway, getting to the point:
I have decided to reverse this unique idea and...
Design a room based on a wedding color scheme!
for katie :)
Color Scheme: Whites, Neutrals, Dark/Emerald Greens, Coral
Theme: Seaside
<double click on the image above for the full effect>
The Floor: Pottery Barn jute rug
Anthropologie Treasure Cabinet (to hide her new husband's TV) (You're welcome, MikeB)
Driftwood Coffee table from Pieces...
with these coral pieces sitting on it- I don't know what they are exactly, but we are going to use them as coasters! (Katie would like that. )
Ballard Designs Pierson Green Console
With four of these prints hanging above it:
The Art: 1st Dibs Vintage Shell Prints
and above the sofa- this 5'x3' painting from a SCAD student. (off of Shopscad)- unframed
The Lighting:
Currey and Co.'s Coral Chandelier
And the pair of lamps- 1st Dibs lucite lamps (*with grass shades- see big picture of room)
The Windows:
Simple, pleated curtains out of this beautiful Madeline Weinrib fabric (rotated the other way)
with this Kravet trim along the leading edge:
The Pillows and Accessories:
These Madeline Weinrib ikat pillows for the sofa- (in front of green ones)
And if you want some extra pillows, I threw in these seahorse pillows from etsy-
add some simple Lee Jofa tape on the sides for a bolder statement:
This fabric just made me happy- so my mind started wandering over to the (hypothetical) dining room... Perhaps we should make the drapes out of this?
With these chairs?

Okay, I'm off to pack. I've procrastinated long enough!!
{nice color scheme ladies...}
