Unusual Wedding Inspiration: Ice Lanterns

Last week, I put together a sumptuous winter wedding mood board for you. I love transparent design elements, so let me share another lovely design accent perfect for a cold season celebration: ice candle holders and lanterns!

I stumbled across this lovely inspiration on the design platform pinterest:

More of the same blogger on the Norwegian Interior Design blog nib:

Or look at this lovely candle lantern, which I spotted on Flickr:

I also love this more puristic design:

Or how about this shape?:

Enough cold for now? I agree. For now, let’s get back to enjoying summer!

Aren’t these flower embedded ice cubes adorable? I LOVE them!

Unusual Wedding Inspiration: Temperature & Textures

When thinking of design, we tend to think about the visual aspects first. In case you are currently planning your wedding, here’s some different inspiration:

What if you asked your wedding planner to draw on temperature and texture as wedding design muse?

For example, take a look at this mood board where I drew inspiration from winter (crystal, glass, ice, cool tones) and juxtaposed them to warmth (and soft velvet, fur, lush dark tones):

As I create custom-tailored wedding illustrations, I visualize the couple’s personality, story, and style. Using the above style inspiration, I could create an elegant, fashion-inspired illustration, and then continue the play on textures by printing on really smooth paper that feels cool to the touch, with velvet tactile accents. If you are intrigued, email me! Thus far, I haven’t worked with this concept yet, so you would be the very first to amaze your guests this way!
