Mossy Green Paradise in Gatsby Style

Kate Moss was married earlier this year to Jamie Hince. Despite what we've heard about her 'bridezilla' antics, this Gatsby inspired wedding looks absolutely gorgeous surrounded by the beauty of the English countryside.

Bride and Groom look like they belong
as part of their lush surroundings.
They look like a page out of a book
of fairy tales

Kate's delicate veil awaits her. The

headpiece is such an homage

to Gatsby style

The camera is a keyhole into the softness of the 1920's

Kate's daughter Lila Grace looks the part in her sweet

flapper inspired dress and simple ballet shoes

Love the vintage cars and all the "Geeves" men to go

along with them

This Edwardian garden set looks the part for the guests

Deco inspired vanity and stool are modern
with a nod to Kate's 1920's theme. Even
the Tiffany's style floor lamp fits right in.

Sigh...makes me want to get married again. Just can't decide on a beautifully romantic theme like this one or just get hitched in Vegas!

Vintage looks so fabulous with its Patina

Today's blog is going to be a shameless plug for my friends' store called Patina. They started modestly by working out of their home, revamping gorgeous chandeliers, designing lamps and faux finishing furniture and accessories and much much more. Over time, they were able to move to a shared retail space. Now they proudly display their beautiful furniture items in a grand store that is over 3000 square feet in size. I'm so proud of my friends who steadily and smartly grew their business.

I must admit to being very surprised though, when their very classical, European furniture pieces started to disappear and in their place, came more modern and vintage pieces. I see a lot of white metals like chrome and lots and lots of lucite. Glass seems very popular as well as straight lined and simple shapes. I wouldn't say that Patina's style is mid-century modern with teak furniture everywhere. It's vintage and antique with a refined style that doesn't really fit neatly into one popular category. The furniture and accessories are bold yet subtle, grand yet understated and always fresh in feel and mindset. Patina is trendsetting, not trend following. As vintage fashions are so desirable and enduring, our friends continue to realise their vision of styling interior spaces that are more and more vintage in feel.
