The black and white chevron rug in this modern country living room complements the prints on the wall while providing interesting contrast with the yellow print curtains.  I think a glass coffee table was a great choice because it lets the chevron pattern show have more impact.

Mellow Yellow... for eclectic brides!

"Eclectic" is how I describe the style at a wedding that combines details that are elegant and funky, modern and vintage.  It's a style that is especially beautiful with the high-contrast pairing of yellow and gray!

Because seriously, there are images like this one.  LOVE.  I have that magazine, but do I have a photo of me reading it in my wedding dress?  No, no I do not.  Yet.

When I say "eclectic" do I mean "this looks FUN"?  Yes, I think I do.
