{#114} all hallow's eve

{colors} candy apple red, purple, black
{description} for this inspiration board i want to step away from the typical orange and black combo that is usually associated with halloween. i chose a richer color palette of candy apple red with hints of  purple and black. even though there is no pumpkin in sight you still get the feel of a darker but sexier halloween wedding especially when you sprinkled in some of the elements of the holiday like the spooky candy apples for you and your guests to munch as a midnight snack.

  2. LOVE this! I love how you didn't go with the traditional halloween -- it definitely still evokes the "darker" spirit of the holiday/season but is much more sophisticated and not as campy. I was half-expecting candy-corn something or other and was pleasantly surprised to find purples and reds!!!

  4. That you are a talented person... i already knew... but that you are from out of this world??? Chris i just found out that!! This is probably the most beautiful board ever!! This board deserves a shoot inspired by it... I'm serious!!! The color scheme is unexpected but it's perfect... the piano, "bridesmaids", the cake... i wouldn't change a thing... one single thing!

  8. I absolutely love red and purple when paired together! It's not something a lot of people think to do, but it's so surprisingly elegant! Great job!
