A Regal Affair: Inspiration

I often get asked about where I find my inspiration. I find inspiration in everything, every time I'm at any store even the pet store.  I'm constantly observing all the elements that surround me. I'm inspired by my friends and loved ones, and in everyday interactions with vendors and venues. I am most inspired by my brides and grooms and their perspective families, their individual style and their traditions.  Every couple is unique to me and each family integrates traditions and religion in their own unique way. These are the elements I like to be exposed to and incorporate to their weddings, that is what makes a wedding truly personal and special.

 A friend of mine pointed something out to me when I was showing her pics of a wedding that I had just done, she said don't you find it amazing that even though this type of wedding is not at all something you would do for yourself your able to design and plan it so beautifully.  Yes its true, I can and I do it so lovingly. If it wasn't for that couple I would have never been inspired to design it.  For me there is no type of wedding or style that I like better then warm and personal weddings that represent the couples and their families as one.

on a side note: I found some photos that I shared with one of my brides that's doing a vintage garden wedding. I don't believe in copying but finding images that inspire you and point you toward the right direction is always helpful and welcomed.
