Burgundy Wedding with touches of Plum and Navy | Colonial Hall at Rockafellas

​Be still my heart. This New England wedding mood board called for rich shades of burgundy, plum, and navy paired with large bold flowers. We love a good challenge at The Standard Canvas and greatly enjoyed creating this special wedding vows canvas for Sophie and Heavenstone. We chose a bold floral print for the background, featuring large burgundy dahlias. Their own handwritten vows are printed in a thick serif font - proclaiming their forever love to one another. Their beautiful names are then scripted in the center of the canvas. This wedding gift was displayed at their wedding (vow renewal) ceremony and now hangs as a declaration in their home sweet home. It is so neat to watch how this standalone wedding vow canvas effortlessly flows together with the talents of so many others - the florist and cake makers and tablescapers and venue settings - all singing a similar tune at this burgundy wedding at Colonial Hall at Rockafellas. 

​"Go bold or go home. Use the inspiration of lush, deeply-hued florals in everything that you do. Re-imagine where you can use florals and at what scale; perhaps you can contrast tiny florals on details with large, oversized florals on backdrops or textiles. Keep it loose. Evoke the whimsical mood of a wild, secret garden - overgrown and magical. Make the evening romantic: candles casting a magical glow, luxe textiles like velvet and satin, shimmering metallics and bold makeup and hair. For guests, this will feel like their dream date night!"

about the blog authors:

Show Me Love
by Hundred Waters

Don't let me show cruelty
Though I may make mistakes
Don't let me show ugliness
Though I know I can hate
And don't let me show evil
Though it might be all I take
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love

I got a crick in my neck, limp in my step
Crampin' in my muscles every time I try to flex
We're broken
Not really in the right mindset to seem open, open
Never really been fought out, like a politician martyr
But you made me listen to your petition rise
Love, let's get over
Baby I'll show you love
All that I could do was remember you
You know I usually say no
But if you throw me love, I'll throw you some more
