For the Love of Stripes

As I’ve men­tioned before, I’m a sucker for stripes. In fact, the one décor item we’ve pulled together so far is navy and white striped table run­ners made out of the fab­ric below. I’m sure stripe pat­terns will play a part in other ways as the whole look and feel comes together, but for now I’m just gath­er­ing inspiration.

Of course, this wed­ding, shot by Erin Hearts Court, was right up my alley.

And I scanned these images a few months ago from Elegant Bride. I love the stripes jux­ta­posed with the bold, large scale floral.

I think the table cloth fab­ric used in this wed­ding is the exact same fab­ric we’re using for our run­ners. I love how it looks as a larger swatch. It’s fun to see it actu­ally used in the con­text of an event, espe­cially one that is a totally dif­fer­ent style than mine will be.

I prob­a­bly wouldn’t wear of either of these pieces by Ouma in real life, but some­one def­i­nitely should. They’re super fun.

    Stripes. They really are the ulti­mate in designer-y sophis­ti­ca­tion! Do you think you will use that cool green/hints of yel­low (from your invites)? It looked great with the navy/white com­bi­na­tion … I’m design­ing for a wed­ding at the moment with very sim­i­lar colours and it’s such a fun colour scheme! Whatever you do, it’s bound to be awe­some, half the fun is gath­er­ing inspiration.

    I just clicked over from The Inspired Bride and I’m so glad I did– I love it here! Your print­able Valentine is fan­tas­tic. I would love to link to it if you didn’t mind.

    @ Rachel Oh wow, thanks! Of course you can link to it!

    @ Lyndsay We’re def­i­nitely doing bright col­ors jux­ta­posed with the stripes, but we haven’t exactly worked out the details of where they’re going to come in. I have a hard time stick­ing to just one or two col­ors, so I’m using the navy and white to tie every­thing together, and then hope­fully the other col­ors will be a lit­tle less struc­tured. But def­i­nitely bright!
