Ikat Wedding Inspiration

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

One of the hottest patterns of the year is Ikat!  It is no wonder that this awesome pattern is becoming the newest inspiration for weddings.  The Ikat pattern is one of my favorite patterns since it typically incorporates a variety of colors.  You can use these colors to create the perfect wedding palette.

Choosing the perfect Ikat invitation is a great way to give your guests a glimpse in to the colors and theme of your wedding.

One way to use the Ikat pattern is to choose an Ikat bridesmaid dress!  If a dress is to much pattern for you, look at having your girls carry an Ikat purse or shoes.  Ikat shoes are also a great way for you as the bride to wear a white traditional wedding dress but also wear Ikat.

My favorite way to use Ikat in a wedding is with the reception table linens. For a bold look use an Ikat floor length linen or for a more subtle look use an Ikat table runner.

And the cake is another great and unique way to add the Ikat pattern in to your wedding theme!

Bright Patterned Wedding Cakes

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Say goodbye to plain white wedding cakes and say hello to brightly colored and patterned cakes!  This year brides are including their cake in their color scheme and theme. When designing your wedding cake consider your wedding colors and look at incorporating your color scheme in to the cake.  You can choose to make the entire cake one of the wedding colors or just accent the cake with color.

Patterns are a huge trend this year and brides are even using patterns like dots,stripes or even a chevron pattern on their wedding cake.

Some cakes have patterns all over the cake in a more muted color and then accented with pops of bright color!

I love the idea of these cakes that look like a silver sparkle all over the cake with stripes in different colors.  So creative and modern looking!

For a bold look, try a cake covered in brightly colored hearts.  Perfect for those brides that are having a rainbow wedding!

Some of my favorite brightly colored cakes are hand painted.  They look like edible works of art!

Check out Koi and Vivacious which is a shade of orange and pink.  This surprising combination would make a beautiful bright yet rich color story for a Fall wedding!

Of course a red has to be on the list and Samba is a great deep red color perfect for a Fall wedding and so striking against white.

Acai, a deep purple, is a beautiful Fall color that can stand alone or paired with touches of red like Samba adds even more depth to the color palette.
