Emerald Green Wedding Inspiration // Kimber Modern

There are some inspiration boards that just stick with you. This one, created before Pantone dedicated 2013 as the “Year of Emerald” was one of my favourites, and the bride’s too (albeit she didn’t pick it, she did ask “Can you decorate my house like this one?” — which is a success, in a completely different direction). Shades of green, with a mix of modern elements (that Chuppah! that seating chart!) with historical nods, plenty of plants and that perennially awesome black and white ribbon— it’s a hit. If anyone wants to snap this one up and let us be a part of the party, we’d be pretty excited!

Some venues have a wedding factory quality to them: efficient, predictable, interchangeable. Oceana’s Gardens is the opposite. Ten minutes outside downtown Boulder, this privately owned Mediterranean-style estate has been shaped by hand over more than two decades. It doesn’t feel like a venue. It feels like somewhere someone actually lives and loves. I’m Liz, the […]
