Inspiration for Weddings :: Fabric Stores

The source of inspiration for your wedding design can come from anywhere. Often times, wedding magazines are the first source brides think of when seeking inspiration for their wedding. Wedding magazines are great. However, if you really want to get creative and personalize your wedding, then you need to think outside of the box.

Over the next few days, I would like to share a few unique places and things to do that will help you get inspired for your wedding design. My first suggestion is that you visit some fabric stores.

Fabric stores are a magnificent source of inspiration for weddings, especially if you are looking for unique color palettes, textures, and even themes to incorporate into your event design. I highly recommend doing this first to going to your local Home Depot to look at paint color chips. Now, I am not opposed to doing this as I like to collect their free swatches whenever I am paying them a visit. But, fabric stores are a world of their own and are filled with loads of unique inspiration. You just never know what you will find. Get Inspired!

Personal Confession: I love, love, love fabric. I can and have literally spent many hours in both fabric and furniture stores with my mother. It's one of our favorite past times to do together. However, I cannot sew at least with a sewing a machine, but give me just a needle and thread to stitch something or a stable gun to upholster benches and headboards and I can go to town.
