Spring is a season of love. This moodboard captures the essence of a springtime wedding with its soft pastels, moss green accents and hints of a budding romance. Designers Jenna Snow of Snow Design Co. and Shelley Davison of Vintage Modern Event Designs merged family treasures and personal keepsakes from their own days of “I do” to create a celebratory scene.
The invitation sets the initial tone for the big event. The cream one pictured here—with frayed edges—is from Creative Edge, while the velvet envelope is from Eros Stationary. Both present unexpected special details.
Preparing for the big day, the bride and groom gather goods to dress their best. The pearl-embellished gloves and wire-rim glasses introduce elements from another era, as do the vintage tie clip and lapel pin worn by Snow’s husband. (He still sports these items at fancy events.)
The black-and-white sketch is of Davison’s wedding dress, which she discovered in a local consignment shop. “It was brand-new with the tag on it, and it fit me perfectly,” she recalled about the kismet find.
The various gold jewelry pieces also come from Davison’s wedding day. The vintage-boho earrings (something old), family heirloom gold bangles and ruby ring (something borrowed) and sparkling wedding bands (something new) had her covered. Davison collaborated with J. Thomson Custom Jewelers on her wedding ring’s design, incorporating diamonds she inherited from family. And the ruby ring actually sustained a house fire. In fact, it was the only piece that survived. Its beauty lives on.
As an interior designer, Snow knows how important it is for newlyweds to establish a new home together—hence the purple patterned fabrics from Fabricut and Domino book providing “Your Guide to a Stylish Home.” Other interesting textures are layered throughout this moodboard: silk tassels, a marble bowl and samples of wood, leather and linen.
Like the first flowers of spring, a wedding marks the beginning—an exciting burst of energy that prompts new life. Then, the love grows and gently unfolds.
