Every bride should have her very own Style File. A Style File is an organized place to put anything that inspires you and illustrates the ambiance you envision for your wedding. Start with a binder, accordion file or even a plain envelope and whenever you come across an inspirational element place it in your Style File.Some good places to search for inspiration:
* Media- magazines, Internet, books
* Fabric stores- ribbon, trim and fabric samples
* Paint store- paint chips can be wonderful for choosing colors and combinations
* Farmers Markets, gardens, plant nurseries- take pictures of textures and colors in nature
* Scrap booking stores- paper samples can also be great color tools
File your inspirational pieces by category. Some categories are: Theme, Color Scheme, Bridal Party Attire, Hair and Make-up, Ephemera (invites, save the dates, menu cards, programs- anything made of paper), Ceremony Decor, Reception Decor, Flowers, Food and Cake and "Must Take" Photos.
Don't be afraid to share your ideas with the wedding professionals you are considering. A good professional will be as inspired by your Style File as you are.
