A Marriage of Two Minds

Aren't fashion and weddings a match made in heaven? From the runway to the big day, wedding and style gurus David Stark and Linda Heiss team up to interpret the season's hottest fashion shows for your wedding decor. Here's a look at some of their genius work to inspire you for your wedding.

From InStyle Weddings Spring 2009 Issue:

Trend: Acid Brights - 80s Day-Glo makes a big statement.
Translation: N.Y.C event guru David Stark transforms Louboutin's florescent stilettos as intense yellow calla lillies wrapped with a black rosette. "Why not embrace the most electric flowers on your brightest day?" says Stark.

Trend: Geometrics - bold graphic patterns were all the rage for spring.
Translation: Strong lines turna traditional ring bearer's pillow into an ultra-stylish one. "By using a cool geometric pattern, this sentimental pillow becomes new and exciting," says Stark.

Trend: Gemstones - crystals take your look from simple to showstopping.
Translation: Create instant impact on your escort card table by tucking place cards into a bed of rhinstones. "They become a visual experience rather than just cards on a table," Stark says.

Trend: Ruffles - flounce is forever.
Translation: When done in eutral shades or muted tones, ruffles no longer look precious. "Using a gradient palette keeps ruffles in teh world of elegance. If you used contrasting clolrs, it could get very flamenco very fast," says Stark.
