I thought I’d share this inspiration board I did last year because I’m still so infatuated with the color combination of aqua and gold. Isn’t is dreamy? Original post right here

Inspiration Board #53: Moody Pink & Lace

March 28

pink&lace

Pink and lace is so feminine a combination, I love the idea off balancing the look with a location that has a bit of a dark and moody side. A forest or a long table setup in a grove of trees would be oh so pretty…

Inspiration Board #52: Thanksgiving Feast

thanksgiving

For a thanksgiving feast, I would use tons of gourds mixed with citrus to create the centerpiece of the table. An old farmhouse would host the dinner and loads of pie would finish off the meal!

Inspiration Board #51: Modern Red & White Stripe

red_white

I love a wedding with a graphic design element and these extra wide red and white stripes are just that. I love the timeless modernism of stripes, plus this color palate just seems so energizing and fun. I picture this wedding taking place at a beach and the ceremony arch would be a take off on this old red and white cabana. The bride would rock some serious red heels and dance the night away.

Inspiration Board #50: Wood Tones & White

October 25

white&wood

So its been a little while since the last inspiration board (ok, a long while, last May to be exact). So for this board, I wanted to pair the warmness of wood tones with a timeless white palette. I picture this wedding at a cozy bed and breakfast, where the owners dog roams the property freely, old troughs are re-purposed and used as floral containers, and bunches of baby breath add airiness to the decor.

An Oldie: Inspiration Board #33: Red & Blue Berries

May 24

Since  I’m playing mad catch up today and prepping for a week of meetings. I thought I’d share an inspiration board that some of my new readers may have missed.This board was inspired by berries, but it could easily be translated to a Fourth of July Wedding. And now onto the post:

red_blue_wedding

I love summer berries and I think the deep reds and blues are the perfect inspiration for a late summer wedding. I picture this wedding taking place at a family farm, the bride would wear a bold red dress, and guests would be treated to refreshing berry drinks.

Inspiration Board #49: Springtime Blues & Yellows

blue&yellow

Continuing my obsession with all things spring, I designed this board based on the photo in the lower left corner by Polly Wreford. I love the blue and white pattern dress, the casual bouquet of daffodils, and the blue gingham ribbon. I picture this wedding taking place at a family friend’s home, homemade lemonade would serve as favors, and a yummy lemon granita would add be a tasty palate cleaner in between courses of gourmet comfort foods. Stunning acacia and ranunculus would serve as centerpieces and the couple would make their getaway in an old blue bug.
