Here’s another post for Summer 2011 brides, summer color enthusiasts, or bright color lovers. It’s our second Summer Inspiration board using the Style Me Pretty blog for our Inspiration-Board-Week series.

This week, I chose a color palette that would work well with lots of our classic Atlanta ballrooms. Summer is HOT in Atlanta, so ballrooms and indoor spaces are a great alternative to outdoor receptions. Many of the ballrooms have spaces for outdoor ceremonies or cocktail hours, so I thought of a color combination that worked well for bringing the outdoors inside: a sky blue, a bright pineapple yellow, and a light purple for pops of color in flowers, patterns, and jewelry.

I love the pattern on the plate and how it is replicated on the cake. The juxtaposition of that scrolling pattern next to the clean lines of the vases would work well in modernizing a ballroom space.

This jewelry from Etsy would also complement the color scheme and make any bride or bridesmaid stunning!

Let me know if you prefer this week’s Summer Inspiration Board over last week’s outdoor inspiration. And as always, please suggest some pretty summer colors for next week’s post in the comments below!

StudioWed is officially a pick-up location for your Bridal Extravaganza of Atlanta tickets!

When you pick up your ticket at the studio, you’ll receive a code for complimentary admission. Just stop by Monday-Friday between 11 and 3 or make an appointment to get your complimentary ticket code!

The Coca Cola Film Festival is in full force this summer at Atlanta’s own Fox Theatre, and on August 12, it gets kicked into overdrive.

This event is also for a good cause. The Fox asks that you donate shoes or a handbag to the Atlanta Dress for Success program which provides professional clothing for disadvantaged women interviewing for or beginning a new job. And there’s no better movie to celebrate clothing with than Sex and the City!

Our vendors are transforming this party! Tasty Pastry is providing their signature European desserts at the after party, and Lethal Rhythms will be supplying the night’s live entertainment. Aesthetic Floral and Event Artistry, Event Drapery, I Do Linens, Lemiga Events, and Event Rentals Unlimited will also be a part of this fun event. Don’t miss out! Grab your friends, party the night away, see a great movie, and donate to a good cause. Call 404.881.2081 or click over to www.foxtheatre.org for more info and tickets.

Our second Monthly Open House date is almost upon us! Drop in on August 3 between 6-8pm to browse our studio which was recently described by a bride as “wedding overload…but in a good way!”

The studio features tons of chances to get inspired and find the vendors you’ve been searching for. There are a handful of spots left, so register to attend at the event page now. We can’t wait to see you there!
