Aw, it's finally starting to feel like fall here in the SF Bay Area. The leaves are falling, they're a slight chill in the air, and it finally rained yesterday.
Although the weather outside may be a tad cool, it is no excuse for a boring wedding. In fact, I love an elegant fall wedding. The natural colors of the season brighten up any room and the candles, oh how the candles create such an intimate cozy feeling. There are many themes, too that work perfectly for this time of year. Just today I was inspired by some masquerade masks that came all the way from venice. My mom and I were at Natasha's Attic taking care of some business for the recent show she had costumed when I saw the glass case full of all different styles and colors. They were all so unique with their different personalities shinning through. Of course, after looking at them for some time I had to think of a way to use them and I thought, but of course, why not for a wedding or even engagement party. How fun would that be? Everyone entering the wine cellar with elegant dresses and masks to match. You could take it back to Marie Antoinette and have professional dancers come in to instruct on traditional dances or play games where people have to find certain masks with specific characteristics. Food could be a full feast of chickens, pork, steak, potatoes and of course loads of desserts. Oh what fun it would be. Candles hanging from the ceiling, candelabras along the wall and rich royal colored fabrics everywhere. Puppet shows for the kids, and plenty of beer and wine for the adults. Oh what a celebration it would be and all from a mask in a glass case.
