Read a magazine featuring fall fashion and you will likely find pages and pages of models wearing polka dots. That's right! Those sweet, little spheres are back, and since we love them here at LUCIA|PAUL DESIGN we thought we'd use them in our latest style inspiration board. So sit back, grab your tall, pumpkin spice latte, and please enjoy our take on a fall, polka dot picnic wedding. :)
Fall is finally here, and as the masses start bundling up we start thinking about warmer, cozier colors such as coffee, golden yellows, and deep jewel tones. Luckily, Pantone provided such hues in their fall fashion color report, and we used them to create an inviting color story.
Although polka dots were our inspiration, we didn't want every inch of our faux wedding to have specks on it. Instead, we used the cute little dots on such items as the wedding cake, ring pillow, and favor boxes. This allowed us to take a more abstract approach with other items, such as featuring billy balls in the bridal bouquet, round cake pops, and circular fans to symbolize the polka dot shape.
Polka dots also influenced the setting. When we see polka dots we think charming and fun, which is why we decided to take advantage of the amazing fall weather and move the wedding outdoors! Picnics make for an intimate, joyful celebration...what more could you ask for out of a wedding?

Happy Monday, everyone.
