Heavy Metal Wedding


Okay, so not head banging heavy metal of Metallica more like the literal version...heavy metal! Kari and Brad are getting married this month and we are so excited that the theme of their wedding is metal! We have designed several weddings based around the color of metal, but have never used actual metal.

Brad is a machinist and has access to all kinds of metal, so of course we ran with it! We started setting the theme of the wedding by adding metal to the invitations. M Haley Design (www.mhaleydesign.com) did a great job in adding touches of metal to carry our theme through. Brad made a metal board where we will house all of the place setting cards as well as the table numbers and menu stands that will be on each table. To add a splash of color, we are using purple and white to accent the steel metal grey.

It is known by most of our brides that I think that carnations are the most under used flowers in the wedding industry and I love them! Why would you not love a carnation? They come in almost every color of the rainbow, they are inexpensive, and when used in the right application, they are gorgeous! Kari thinks so too! We are so excited that she has decided to use bouquets of monochromatic carnations wrapped with a wire treatment and will be placed in tall rectangular containers to line the tables.

I am really excited to see this wedding come to reality. Just 18 more days and we will have pictures to post. Here are a few inspiration pics for you to take a peek at.
