I have wedding brain.


I can't lie. I have wedding brain. I see wedding inspiration literally everywhere.. it's crazy. Case in point? Today we went to JCT Kitchen & Bar for dinner, and all I could think of was how this was someone's dream wedding! The color palette, flower choice, lighting, everything was perfect! I was particularly struck by, of all things, the bathroom, since it was totally gorgeous, but I can't find any pictures so you'll have to just trust me on it.

To set the tone for this wedding, you could totally use the fonts on all their signage/menus/etc. to create some really cool invitations. For example--


All of their written work looks very similar, and I think it sets a really fun and vintage-y vibe right away.

The color palette was amazing, with mint greens, crisp whites, and dark browns, with some yellow thrown in from the bright sunflowers that welcomed you when you walked in.


The decor was also inspiring, with clean lines, huge flower arrangements, and these awesome huge pendant lamps that made a subtle statement. Also of note were the curtains that could have partitioned off the dining room if they were shut, but added a nice bit of color to an otherwise primarily white space.


The bathroom had this amazing oval mirror, with square in-counter sinks and a giant potted orchid. I also loved how the chairs were kind of mismatched, as some were painted white and others were left a dark brown color. In the wedding version, I see long rectangular tables, with some low arrangements, and lush bouquets of monochromatic flowers (hydrangeas?) on the bars and guest book/escort card tables.

Though my wedding doesn't fit into this modern/vintage (I know it's an oxymoron, but that's how it comes across to me!) clean-lined scenario, I'm kind of in love with it, and am thinking seriously about some awesome rehearsal dinner options!
