INSPIRATION - HONEYSUCKLE

Every year Pantone announces the "Colour of the Year" (2011's colour being Honeysuckle) and every year brides ask us "How can we incorporate Pantone's colour of the year into our wedding"?

Accessories, accessories, accessories. Keeping things simple and classic, then using fun details and colourful accessories to help create a unique look is what weddings are now all about.

Accessorizing your timeless gown with a Honeysuckle clutch, shawl/cardigan or floral accent allows you to create a look that really is all about you. Your invitations, escort cards, table names/numbers, centerpieces, and bridal bouquets are a perfect place to add colour and details as simple as using Honeysuckle throw pillows on your lounge seating will help tie the overall look together.

Not only is Honeysuckle lovely on its own, it's the perfect accent colour for the ever popular black and white wedding and should you be daring enough to pair it with another vibrant colour... the possibilities are endless!

2011 COLOUR OF THE YEAR

Courageous. Confident. Vital. These are the key words Pantone (the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for the design industries) is using to describe 2011's colour of the year... Honeysuckle.

A colour for all seasons, Honeysuckle is both captivating and stimulating. The perfect accent for weddings, not only does this dynamic shade get the adrenaline going but the intensity of this festive reddish pink allures and engages.

A striking, eyecatching hue that works well for day or evening, Honeysuckle is guaranteed to produce a healthy glow when worn by both men and women and is flattering for bridesmaid's dresses, bridal accessories, and men's ties.

Stay tuned for a little inspiration post on how to use Honeysuckle to spice up your wedding. In the meantime, read more on Pantone's 2011 colour of the year here.

David Tejada is coming to town!...

Yup, you read that correctly, David Tejada is bringing his two day "small strobes BIG RESULTS" workshop to Maine.

We are in the absolute beginning stages of setting this workshop up so the details are far from complete (or set in stone) but the two things we can say are: 1.) David will be in our studio here in Biddeford (Maine) in the middle of September (this year) and 2.) it will be limited to 10 (maybe 12) attendees, max.

Here is a one sentence blurb from the "small strobes BIG RESULTS" website the lays out who this workshop is designed for:

"This workshop is designed for the emerging pro or for those contemplating doing so, as well as serious hobbyists. This workshop does not show you how to use your camera. You should understand the relationship between shutter speeds and F-stops, such as what the difference is between f/1.4 and f/22."

The reason we are announcing it now, before we have all the info set, is so you can start planning your trip and saving your pennies because this is a workshop you will NOT want to miss!

I will announce the details as soon as they are available and be sure to pay attention because it will be a "first come first registered" kinda situation.

While you wait be sure to check out David Tejada's website and blog.

Very exciting stuff.
