Weddings Touched by Toile
For those of you looking to do something just a little different on your wedding day, or add a touch of vintage, think about using toile as accent pieces, or a “main event” of your decor, such as in your linens or part of your invitation suite.
Toile can replace damask, which has been all the [...]
Antique Rose & Sea Blue
I have never seen this color combination, and it totally came to me while sitting here thinking about summer roses, while staring out the windows of my house, which are framed in these fabulous, frothy blue curtains – they’ve got a sheen to them that can catch the green of the outside, but are really [...]
Kelly & Steve: At Last!
This couple was a dream to work with; their level-headedness with all things wedding, their creativity, and their enthusiasm was simply a perfect combination to make their wedding day perfect. Not to mention, they are so happily, wonderfully in love, and anyone with eyes can see it, and see that they will be happy together [...]

Wedding Season’s Woes
It’s officially wedding season – in full swing for many of us vendors!
This means…time to blog and twitter and facebook has diminished drastically. (boo!) While my blog posts may be a little scarce over the next few weeks, I’ll definitely be posting gorgeous, divine photos from all the real-life weddings Golden Chic will be managing. [...]

Wee Ones and Weddings
So you can’t get away with an adults-only reception…or you don’t want one! If having kids at your wedding worries you, or makes you wonder if you’re going to end up with a casual, picnic type event, think again. Kids can handle the fancy stuff…provided you keep them entertained!
First and foremost, consider hiring a wedding [...]
Saffron & Cocoa
Nothing says vintage summer fun like saffron and cocoa. What’s so gorgeous about these colors is that they can be rich AND fun at the same time. This isn’t a stuffy combination; the cocoa balances out the tangy saffron so that you think sunflowers, sun drenched fields, and deliciously divine mango cocktails.
I do lean toward [...]
Teal & Red
I know last week was skipped on Colors 2010, so this week I know I owe two!
Another color trend that was on Martha Stewart Wedding’s 2011 watch-list – teal and red!
We’ve seen red and light blue, or red and aqua. But not with teal – a color dragged up from years past. When was the [...]

Grey & Yellow
Yellow is incredibly bright – even when it’s toned down to a buttery pastel, it can still be considered striking and…well…bright! What better way to tone down the color than a soft, light grey? You can do this in spring, when pussywillows are blooming, and forsythia is in season and you’ve got your floral all [...]

Wrap Me in Veils
The intern and I had a day talking Veils, and then we started to list off all the different kinds available. We discovered both our mothers had the “cap” veils, very usual of the mid-eighties (and other odd periods during the 1900’s). That being said, there are so many other chic and amazing pieces you [...]
Caramel & Moss
Remember back when chocolate, mixed with green, blue or pink was popular? It reminded our parents of schemes years past, and really got us thinking about vintage weddings. But then, everyone did it (myself included – I’m guilty of the chocolate and aqua theme). What if you are in love with earth tones, but don’t [...]
