Japanese Gardens Wedding Moodboard
This week we published the new Rosa Clara 2013 bridal collection. For the past few years Rosa Clara has had a sort of origami feel to some of its signature looks, through fanned pleats, angular accents and structured silhouettes. So today it got us thinking about a Japanese Garden style wedding.
Gorgeous angular peplum dresses are the perfect way to get an origami feel to your bridal look, and you don't have to look far for it. Pleats and pockets at Rosa Clara, oversized bows at Monique Lhuillier, *that* closing dress at Elie Saab for Pronovias - this look is for ladies who ooze confidence and style.
To incorporate a Japanese Garden theme to the rest of your bridal party, try gorgeous oversized kimonos as cover-ups for your bridesmaids, or even some brightly coloured, or patterned, rice paper parasols.

Hand painted wedding cakes are a huge trend for 2013, and would work perfectly with this theme in a floral designs. Go for a minimal look overall, with simple colours so that shapes and textures really stand out - pale paper lanterns are great for mood lighting and add an elegant eastern feel to the room.
For you ceremony, think about providing mass booklets on fans for your guests! A great DIY project, this will add a great themed touch to proceedings and will give the guests something special to take home, or if you would prefer, have the wedding menu written on the back instead.

Mystical Wonder Wedding Palette
This wedding palette is all about mystical, mythical, whimsical wedding wonder - we dare you to say that fast. Looking at Kate Moss’ wedding makes us think that all other weddings are meant to be like it! With its layers of bohemian wonder, unusual styles and fabulous headdresses, really what’s not to love about all things wedding whimsy? For this look, ruffles are an absolute must, flowers should be everywhere, and vintage is your go-to trend. By adding a quirky couple your nuptials will scream fanciful.

Easter Wedding Colour Palette: Eggshell Blue & Nude
By Amy Croffey
This classic colour pairing not only looks fantastic for Easter weddings but also in the spring/ summer season. It's a colour combo that evokes soft soothing feelings that signify a stylish fresh start to married life. One of the best things we love most about this soft eggshell blue and nude colour scheme is that you can use it in every part of your wedding because it’s so calming and gentle. Integrate it into your big day by using it in your flowers, wedding dress - as your ‘something blue’ perhaps, bridesmaid dresses, shoes, head table and altar decor.

Bronze Age -Metallic Wedding Inspiration
Take a trip back to the Bronze Age and create a metallic bronze and gold leaf palette for your wedding decor.
Metallic provides the perfect amount of glamour and edge to a very classic style, but as with most bold colour, prints, or fabrics, don't overdo it! Treat your metallics like you would animal prints; a little goes a long way. Also, as with animal prints, it's okay to mix two or three colours. Try a palette of gold, silver and bronze (a nod to this year's Olympics, if you are the sporty type?!), using off white or cream as your anchor.
