Theme Thursday 44: Preppy Salmon

Loving these groomsmen in their salmon pants, so preppy!  Monograms also give off that preppy feel to me, as well as a simple but sophisticated short sleeved wedding gown.

Theme Thursday 43: Modern Gingham

This board is definitely fun!  I paired black and white gingham with lime for a modern twist, I can definitely see this color palette at a backyard wedding.

Theme Thursday 42: Something Blue

This Theme Thursday is a little different.  I loved the blue tulle underskirt and wanted to show other ways to incorporate your "something blue" into your big day.  Of course, this ice blue and white color palette is lovely if you want to make it your palette!

Theme Thursday 41: Modernized Vintage Barn Wedding

Another requested board!  I was contacted by Christina to make a board for her red barn wedding reception.  She wants to use coral as her main color but questioned if it would clash with the red, but I say no way!  Coral and red actually go together just fine.  For this board I used a few shades of coral (from softer to a more reddish coral), raspberry red, sepia, wood and white for the color palette.  She wants to incorporate a modernized vintage feel that has an outdoor touch to it that I think the natural, free form centerpieces really convey.

Theme Thursday 40: Grecian Goddess

I heart this board!  In Greek Mythology the olive branch represents wisdom and peace and I love the idea of incorporating olive leaves into a Greek inspired wedding.  I especially love the olive leaf bouquet, its so unique!  Besides the green of the leaves, I added a touch of cobalt blue to emulate the pretty blue rooftops in parts of Greece and lots of gold accents.

Theme Thursday 39: Tropical Splash

I have something bright for you today!  Even if you don't have a destination or beach wedding (which this board would work for too), you can make it feel tropical.  I love the Mexican inspired bar and of course the bright pink!

Theme Thursday 38: Preppy Lakeside Wedding

How about something a little preppy for today?  This board portrays a lakeside wedding with fun preppy details.  I went with a navy and white color palette with some pops of kelly green and khaki.  I love the little yay flag, how adorable is that?

Theme Thursday 37: Tiffany Lamp Inspired

I love the soft pastels of this Tiffany lamp inspired wedding cake, so beautiful!  So I went with a soft, vintage pastel palette for this board.  The escort cards in this board are simple but pretty, I love how all the different vintage scrolls look together.

Theme Thursday 36: Sweet As Pie

These little pies are just so adorable!  For this board I went with a coral and vintage red color palette, and a slightly vintage country feel.  This board sure is as sweet as pie in my opinion.

Theme Thursday 35: Sweet Silhouettes

I love the vintage elegance that silhouettes lend to a wedding.  This color palette is really lovely and works well with the slightly vintage feel this board has!

Theme Thursday 34: Let's Go Camping!

I came up with this board while I was working on Alternative Wednesday this week.  I found a cute camping wedding with the bridesmaids in separates so I created a board around their looks!  I think camping/campground weddings are so casually fun and adore the wildflower bouquet in this board.  I'm starting to think wildflowers are the perfect touch to any casual outdoor wedding!

Theme Thursday 33: Backyard Mexican Fiesta

I am having a rough week and really wanted to create something bright and fun, and right away I thought- fiesta!  So I created a colorful and semi-DIY board to share with you.  I love the use of paper flowers, the cute bridesmaids dresses and most of all the idea of a margarita bar.  Yum!  But my top favorite element of this board is the basket of flowers for your guests' hair.  How sweet, fun and easy is that?

Theme Thursday 32: Soft Romantic Beach Wedding

I am really ready for summer!  So for today I have a lovely beach wedding inspiration board for you.  I went with a pretty and soft seafoam green, gray-ish blue and ivory color palette for this board and wanted to keep in very romantic and pretty.  What do you think?

Theme Thursday 31: Blush & Bows

Wow, I love this board.  Even the way they arranged the bouquet, it looks like the calla flowers are in the shape of a bow!  And aren't those shoes to die for?

Theme Thursday 30: Elegant Black & White Polka Dot Anemone Wedding

Anemones are such fun flowers, they are great for a polka dot wedding because they look like giant polka dots themselves!  I went a little more elegant on this board by keeping the polka dots in the details and having the bridesmaids in black.  I think the addition of guinea hen feather hair pieces would be a great way to add polka dots to the bridal party in a sophisticated way.  And that's what I think this board portrays, a fun but sophisticated wedding with visually interesting details.

Theme Thursday 29: Shabby Chic Garden Tea!

I never get sick of tea party weddings!  They just seem like so much fun.  I just saw a cute idea where you could give away the vintage tea cups you collect to use as a favor!  Then every time your guests use them they will think of you and your wedding, which is super sweet.

Theme Thursday 28: Glitzy Vintage Wedding

Oh, I love vintage weddings and I guess 1930s style is popular this year!  The bride who requested this board wants to work with a black and white color palette with red accents.  She also wants to incorporate lots of glitzy rhinestones, pearls and candles.  I hope this board helps her plan her 1930's style wedding!

Theme Thursday #27: Tuscany, Revisited

I have made a few Tuscan inspired boards before but this is one of my favorites.  I love the combination of eggplant and sunflowers!  The bride who requested this board wants to have a vintage feel to her wedding and incorporate lots of sunflowers, grapes and wine.  I really like the idea of using grapes in the centerpiece, it really ties in the eggplant color the bridesmaids will be wearing.

Theme Thursday #26- 1930s Inspired

I received a request for a 1930s inspired board, it's always fun to work on vintage inspired boards!  She wanted to work with a silver gray (her fiance is wearing a silver gray zoot suit), blush and black color scheme.  I love the custom 1930's inspired wedding poster found here, it would make a great "guest book" if you got everyone to sign a mat to fit around it and then you can hang it in your home!

Theme Thursday #25- Glittery Glam!

Oh what fun glitter is!  And its really easy to add to your wedding day look as well as your decor.  I adore the glittery table number (which would be an easy DIY project) and of course the ultra glamorous glittery gold bolero.  The soft pink skirt of the bridal gown is really sweet too.  So here is a gold, ivory and soft pink board for you today!
