I will be working on an album for a 50th wedding anniversary and I'm stumped on papers. I'd prefer to buy a line with several different patterns I can use.
Here are my thoughts:
1. I am NOT specifically looking to use a wedding or anniversary line.
2. The event venue is done in a Tuscan theme, with warm colors in the room--yellow ochre, terra cotta, etc. They used ivory & gold linens.
3. The guests are wearing all different colors, although there was a lot of black, white, and blues. So i think I might be best to work with neutrals, or with the background colors.
4. I don't necessarily want to go all gold for golden anniversary. Although I do have some gold papers available already--metalics, glitter, some confetti like patterns, etc.
5. I'm thinking I want something relatively simple that can work with busy photos--lots of people, lots of stuff happening in the backgrounds. The last time I had a similar situation to scrap was years ago, and I used a ton of old Chatterbox papers--all different colors, but a similar look to them, kwim? I used simpler patterns from my stash.
So, if anyone has any line that they think might work with such an event, I'd love to hear your suggestions!

49th and Market Wherever collection has a terra-cotta and oche colored paper I think. Maybe some b sides would work?

I woke up this morning, and before I got out of bed, I was thinking about this, and thought "What I really need is a paper pad that's just pretty papers without any major theme." And I logged in after breakfast and here was your suggestion that was exactly that! Thanks so much! (I had been thinking of this 6x8 pad I picked up once that had florals, and just a few pages in the pad also had some metallic gold elements. But it wasn't quite right in terms of patterns/colors. This one you've linked definitely has a surprisingly good blend of colors---some black & white, but also blues, and then some golden yellows & terra cotta pages, too. )
