I recently read an article (cannot for the life of me remember where I read it) about the resurgence of vintage style, and the desire for artisan, hand-crafted things, and how almost anywhere you look you’ll see anachronistic jumbles of designs and things reminiscent of bygone days. Not that I needed to read an article to tell me this, but it did get me thinking about how this trend is certainly present in the wedding world. That, combined with this film about the inspiring architecture and design firm, Roman & Williams, plus my desire to incorporate Root Liquor into an inspiration board, all led up to today’s post. Not everything here comes from the same era or region, but there’s a common thread in the palette and feel of each element, and I don’t think any of it takes itself too seriously except for that love of hand-crafting and thoughtful design. It’s all mostly somewhat masculine, but I think the tiniest bit of blush pink could balance it nicely.
