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:

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.

Lately, I’ve had quite the love affair with gray & yellow. For this board I decided to branch out a bit and pair gray with a deep red. The invitation in the upper right hand corner by Peculiar Pair Press served as inspiration. Enjoy!

On Tuesday, Sidney of SBB Catering hosted a lovely little Holiday party for Santa Barbara wedding vendors. The food was delicious (lobster canioli- yum!) and the service was impeccable. Stop on over to their website for more information.

I’m taking a page from Kathryn at Snippet & Ink and Cassandra from Coco & Kelley and posting my first inspiration board on my blog. Every Monday I’ll be posting a board so if you have any specific color requests or themes please leave me a comment!
