Next on my list of things to do that are outside the box for wedding inspiration is to go spend a few hours in an art museum. For me, the idea of visiting an art museum for wedding inspiration is that it is a great way for your right-brain to do some creative exercising. Art museums often have a load of abstract paintings in their collection and many other unique pieces of artwork that in one form of another will get your creative juices flowing. I say this because some paintings are so abstract, that you have to think outside of the box to begin to see the artist’s vision.
One example of how artwork can be an inspiration for weddings is to look at fashion designer, Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2010 bridal gown collection. Recently, I blogged about Herrera’s newest bridal collection and in that post it was mentioned that all of the bridal gown designs were inspired by famous artists like Vincent van Gogh’s sunflower painting (see photo above), Henri Matisse’s famous paper cut outs, and Claude Monet’s water lily paintings just to name a few.
In addition to forcing yourself to think creatively by visiting an art museum, many paintings just like fabrics, are also an excellent source of inspiration for “unique color palettes, textures, and even themes to incorporate into your event design.” Get Inspired!
