amy atlas.

as i am sure you know by now...i LOVE color. when i saw these color inspired desert tables i was so excited. they are absolutely beautiful! these were designed by amy atlas - an event planner - for brides magazine. my favorite happens to be the green/orange/yellow combo - but they are all amazing! each of these 3 table were based on a specific style. oh and if you click on the first image of each section you can zoom in pretty close and actually read all the text on the spread!

the first is modern:

the next is vintage:

and the last is chocolate spice:

i love color. and i don't think that i have ever seen it displayed as beautifully as in these images below.

these are all pages from better homes and garden magazines, all from different months this past year. i love the use of the paint can lids and the other objects that represent the different colors. plus i love monochromatic color schemes! beautiful! enjoy!

i will definitely be looking for these every month - hopefully they continue to do this in the magazines! look out for more images of these from me in the future!
