Theme: Damask

Theme 2: Damask

I have fallen for this Damask trend! At first, I thought, what IS that?! No longer can I deny that I love it! The damask in black can be paired with any colour and looks very classy. In particular, I like the black damask and white, or the black damask and a green. I think the green looks unique but still offers a classy feel to it.

Damask can be overdone though. I think all the stationary should match, and even the favour tags. However, if your menu is done in damask, and you have a damask tablecloth or dark tablecloth, and you have damask napkins, it gets to be an eyesore. Pick a few large damask items, or a several subtle ones.

I think small unique touches are the way to go. Yes, we all love the damask aisle runner, and damask Chinese take out baskets, but how about damask shoes? I love these little girls booties. A damask hair comb? Damask ties? There are so many little details that people forget, and these are the ones that will make you wedding look unique.

I enjoy looking at weddingbycolor.com not only can you get an idea based on colour, but sometimes people are selling things and you can get an awesome deal! It’s also a really good idea to see what and how some people have created some new interesting things.

When I think (black & white) damask, I think glamorous! Long tight fitting gown, birdcage veil, and red lips! When I think of the pink & black damask, I think trendy hip, shorter wedding gown, no veil, pink accessories, and defiantly a candy buffet! Ok maybe I’m stereotyping due to colour, but it’s what I envision!
