Bonded in Love



Since the trailer has finally aired for the much-anticipated 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie, I have decided to use what I know of that storyline as inspiration for a wedding style board. From the seductive candles hanging over head creating a hot wax, to the sensual lace gloves that can be worn by bridesmaids, there are many details that can be pulled together from this story to create an elegant wedding with a shade of sexy! 

I decided to intertwine black and gold and use them as my main colors - black for its mystery and rebellion and gold for it's tie in with power. I brought a Vera Wang gown in from her Spring 2014 line as while simple yet chic, it holds a dominant look - especially when paired with long black leather gloves. The plate settings are a little tounge-in-cheek as they are supposed to represent a blindfold being wrapped around the menu. You're also sure to see monograms in this theme as signs of ownership. 

Some other attributes to pull in to this style would be red lipstick, red flowers, black feathers, black linens, velvet linens, mirrors, mirrors, mirrors, and lots more candles. If you keep it classy, you can play with this novel/movie to create a basis for a theme and a unique ambience for your wedding. 

Table numbers are a great way to bring in mirrors. 

I would have to highly recommend that the cake swing from the ceiling just as Kaley Cuoco's did though!  

Everyone will be honeymooning after this theme, for sure!
