wedding wednesday: white

White seemed like an obvious choice for my last wedding wednesday inspiration post, don't you think? After all, how much the day revolves around these little white numbers?  A lot.

Side note: can you believe how stunning those dresses are?!  I'm drooling over that back.

When it comes to designing with white, I have a love hate relationship.  Love, because I love contrast, and always tend towards white and black in all of my accessories, fabrics, wood.  Hate (I don't actually hate it, I'm just afraid of it), when it comes to the walls.

Successfully creating a white room is hard to do.  Many times, it just ends up looking empty.  If you want to keep your walls white, I would suggest having a white on white color palette.  By layering different textures of white, you create visual interest, and can successfully avoid the "boring" room.  Obviously there are other ways to keep your walls white, have colored furniture, and still have a beautiful room...it is just often times hard to pull off.

So, to all of those white lovers out there...eat your heart out.  Here are my favorite all white rooms.
