The Sweetness of the Waldorf

As I sit in the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC, recouping from a hectic business trip, I can’t help but notice that this classic and globally famous hotel has inspired me.

When you first step foot into the grand foyer, you’re greeted by a beautiful chandelier that gives the room a champagne glow. Immediately I thought, “I’d love to get married here.” There’s a nostalgic elegance the hotel has that other accommodations have moved away from.

When everyone from the President to Queen Elizabeth to Brad and Angelina stay here, you know the Waldorf is doing something right … but I digress. In almost every room there’s marble, floral prints and rich colors. The rich colors are classic and conservative, and tickled my candy. :)

While I was not lucky enough to stay in a presidential suite or see any dignitaries, my room without a view hosted a slew of patterns and colors.

We live in a world where popular wedding colors are bright and full of spring’s reflection. Fuchsia, pink, yellow, purple, orange or yellow can be found in just about every wedding photo you see on Facebook. These colors are easy to incorporate into décor, attire, flowers, makeup and of course, candy buffets.

Yet after my stay at the Waldorf, I’m confident that brides that opt for navy blues, deep reds, gold and/or browns can enjoy a candy buffet that’s just as pleasing to the eye. Besides, who ever said the words classic and candy didn’t go together? See pictures from the Waldorf Astoria in New York
