{La Inspiration - Liz Taylor}

We were very saddened by the passing of Elizabeth Taylor, an amazing talent and a true beauty.  She loved weddings almost as much as we do - she was married 8 times in her life! 

Any number of her films or real-life weddings could serve as an inspiration...  

One of our favorite Elizabeth Taylor films is 1958's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.  Here's a quick inspiration board based upon a few images from that film.  

(We don't, however, hope that anyone's marriage is as tumultuous as Brick & Maggie's). 


Details: 
We started off with this dress by Pink Purr Studio, which is a replica of the white dress worn by Elizabeth Taylor in the film.  The peach tones in this floral arrangement by Pixie Floral echo the colors of the bedroom and the centerpiece mimics the scrolls on the brass bed which many key scenes in the film take place around.  (Seen in the next image).  In keeping with the golden scrolls image, we've found a gorgeous cake by Sweet Memories Canada and invitations  by Etsy seller InvitedInk. Lighting such as that done by Full Circle Lighting echoes the lanterns used to decorate for Big Daddy's birthday party.  And finally, since Cat on a Hot Tin Roof did start out as a play, this  playbill program found at Urban Grey would surely make a great program.  

Cheers!
