I happened upon this book at the library- I went to pick up a book that I had on hold, and only had a few minutes to see what is on the shelf. What a good find!
Matthew Robbins designs whole weddings based on an item or a memory that the couple holds dear to their hearts. In this book he designs a wedding with a citrus theme- bringing out the colors, shape and feel of the Napa Valley. He also does a wedding inspired by french candies (some people bring back candy from their vacation spots), reminding the couple of their favorite places.
I just love the idea of letting your inspiration for your wedding or home come from something that is important to you. He doesn't stick with trends of the moment, but instead makes it completely about the couple. That way the design elements are always close to your heart and timeless.
It makes me wonder if I were to redesign my apartment, where would I look for inspiration?
