There is something about a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream that takes me to another place, where everything is happy and beautiful and perfect. As I was consuming said bowl last night, I began to picture the perfect wedding, cast in shades of this delicious treat. The color was brought up again in conversation with a fellow Diva, and from there, this inspiration board was born. So grab a bowl of mint chocolate chip, and enjoy.

I was happily surprised when I ran into one of Diva Dialogue’s readers the other day. Planning her own wedding, she was having some trouble deciding a color theme. With a preference for black, she asked me how to incorporate this palette into her wedding. Here’s my take on this dramatic, chic and formal hue.
