Design Inspiration – Start with Your Bedroom!

If you are having a hard time trying to figure out what your wedding design & style will be? Then this post is for you!

Getting inspiration should always start with your personal style.  So many couples come into my office with no clue as to where to start and always leave with a clearer picture.  It is really simple…start in your bedroom or what you want your bedroom to look like.

Why your bedroom style?  This is where you probably spend a lot of time!  Most people love to decorate their bedrooms in their own personal style and then leave the rest of their home to more “mainstream’ decorating.  (I said most people – not all!)

Are you a shabby chic or simply elegant kinda couple?

Are you a Feng Shui “clean line” kinda couple?

Are you a practical kinda couple?

Or are you an artsy kinda a couple?

I am betting you will find certain elements in your bedroom that would translate well into your wedding design.

Do you tend to pick the same colors? Same designs?  Same textures?  Chances are those things will resonate with your wedding style.

This is not my room – but I might just make it mine as my wedding had similar style.

I used the same bright greens and blues with hints of browns with circles, polka dots, patterned papers and lanterns.  We even had some daisies thrown in with our wedding in the Dominican Republic.

Decorating your wedding should be like decorating your new home together.  Makes it much easier to dream!  You might even be able to reuse some of your decor for your wedding into your home.  This is a great green way to plan your wedding and nesting all at the same time!
