Decor Trends: Damask

Damask Inspiration Wedding

A little bit vintage, a little bit romantic...a whole lot of style! Brides are falling in love with the look and vendors from all industries are responding with a myriad of damask-adorned products. Image: http://www.thegreenweddingshoes.com

Damask wedding invitations are a must-have if you’re going with such a theme. It sets the tone of the wedding from the beginning – elegant, & sophisticated.  Add a pop of color in turquoise, apple green or yellow and make it modern & flirty!

A great place to start with a special wedding design is the invitations. They set the tone for the entire affair, and this makes invitations the perfect way to give your guests a preview of your wedding style. A large damask print will add an elegant and modern feeling to your wedding. A print in a faded palette can be used as the underlayment for lettering printed on translucent vellum paper. Tie the layers together with a luxurious satin ribbon.

Damask table linens add incredible drama to your reception or use a solid color linen and cap your table off with a damask patten vase in the centre with colorful floral bursting out of the top!

For even more impact, ask your baker to stencil the pattern on your cake!  No longer a mere dessert, the cake has become one of the central design elements of the wedding reception. A damask print executed in perfectly smooth fondant makes for a very chic and of-the-moment cake. It is perfect for a formal wedding. If your style is a little more relaxed, a large scale damask looks great done in fondant in bright colors like the lime and turquoise. Add a touch of whimsy by alternating damask layers with layers decorated in vertical stripes. Instead of a traditional cake topper, an oval disc with a monogram can be set onto the side of the cake.

  

How about our Damask Backdrop for guest book pictures?  Use it as a backdrop and have a photos taken  of each guest as they arrive to create a personalized memory book you’ll actually want to look at.

When used in a contemporary manner, damask is both elegant and stylish. It has the power to elevate a wedding design to a higher level. If you are looking for a print that is timeless and yet very current, damask is the perfect choice.  From the linen to the vases and all the extra details, come and see all that we have to offer to make your damask theme come to life.

Wedding Decor by Atmosphere Weddings in Edmonton

Ring in the new year with Jordan Broom’s bold metallics and earthy elements in our January Planner of the Month tablescape. We can’t think of a better way to begin 2011!

Jordan Broom, owner of Atmosphere Wedding Planning & Design, has been working in the wedding and fashion industry for the past 5 years.

“I think what got me hooked on becoming a wedding planner was seeing Jennifer Lopez running around like a mad person, creating the most beautiful day of someone’s life, and looking fierce doing it, in the movie The Wedding Planner!”

Jordan studied Event Management and Marketing in Calgary at Bow Valley College, where he graduated with his wedding and event planning certificate. After his formal education, Jordan had the opportunity to work with the esteemed MODE Models, Nova Model and Talent International based in Los Angeles, and the World Skills Competition, acting as the event coordinator and designer for each. His true passion lies in making people smile and providing them with exceptional service and breathtaking, unique designs.

“This career needs to be something you truly have a desire to do, it is not as easy as one might think. You need to have drive, determination, an eye for design, and most of all a true passion for the industry! When I purchased Atmosphere I knew it was a perfect match and I could not be happier!”

As the new season begins, Jordan looks forward to working with his many, currently signed brides, and all those out there he has yet to meet. “I look forward to hearing about your wedding dreams and putting a smile on your face. Remember, atmosphere does not happen by chance, it happens by design!”
