Inspiration 255: Burlap and Tea Tins

I think burlap and teatins really compliment each other well!  The soft vintage feel of the tea tins and the rustic feel of burlap would be great for a barn or outdoor wedding.  What do you think of this board?

Real Wedding: Elizabeth & Chris's Backyard Wedding

Elizabeth & Chris had a lovely backyard wedding in Massachusetts last September.  I love how they incorporated just a few colors into their wedding party and then brightened up the reception but adding a few hints of other colors in.  And the table numbers were Ben & Jerry ice cream flavors, how cute!

Inspiration 241: Casual Kelly

Kelly green is a fun color that I think can stand on its own in a pretty neutral color palette.  I went casual with this board for a backyard wedding feel.

Inspiration 184: Under the Old Oak Tree

This is kind of a no theme, themed board... if that makes sense!  I love the idea of getting married under a big, old tree.  I went with a natural and neutral brown, tan and forest green and grass green color palette for this board.  Of course I incorporated a lot of wood elements too, to play off the old tree theme.  The invitations on this board are super cute... I love the detail of the heart with your initials on the tree!

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.

Inspiration #155- Bright Aqua and Yellow Backyard Wedding

This is my absolute favorite color palette!  When I get married aqua and yellow will definitely be involved in the color scheme.  The different shaped aqua vases are lovely for a centerpiece and I really adore the idea of the groom wearing a plaid shirt.

Inspiration #150- A Small DIY Backyard Wedding

I love it when brides request boards for two different color palettes that they are deciding between!  The bride who requested these boards is having a small backyard wedding that she plans on having a romantic and artsy feel with DIY details.  The two color sets she was deciding between were a more vintage pastel yellow, green and robin's egg palette or an artsy lemon, cherry red and turquoise combination.  I truly love both of these boards and the fun elements they contain, I would have a hard time picking between the two!

Inspiration #102- Yellow Backyard Bash

When I was contacted by the bride who requested this board and read that she was planning a vintage picnic wedding I was in love! The wedding will be hold on her family farm and all the flowers will be picked from their garden, lovely fall colored Dahlias and Mums (and using soup cans as vases for the table decor). They also plan to incorporate yellow checkered linens, serve fresh cider, lemonade and iced tea, and give out homemade salsa as a favor. The bride also wants to go with yellow patterned bridesmaids dresses (swoon), I found a few short ones but if you have any suggestions of where she could find a pretty long one, please let me know!

Theme Thursday #13- Pretty Peony Backyard Wedding

If you've read through my blog you probably know that I have a strong love for backyard weddings. I just love the fun, laid back atmosphere that they exude. This board was created for a bride who is having her wedding and reception in her parents backyard. Her color scheme is green and pink, using mostly peonies and hydrangeas. She wants the wedding to have a rustic yet elegant country feel to it. I absolutely adore the fact that she bought mismatched china and tea cups from a second hand store. Plus, I think its super sweet that the wedding favors are going to be homemade jams and salsas made by herself, her mother, her mother-in-law and her grandmother! They also plan to have a small cake to cut with cupcakes for the guest and a dessert table.

Also, the bride mentioned that her fiance is a dairy farmer so I thought it would be a really cute idea to have cookies with milk "shots" at the wedding too!

Theme Thursday #12- Earth Friendly Farmer's Market Wedding

I know I haven't really been posting my daily features but I promise they will be back! I've been super busy trying to catch up on all my requests and I'm trying to get them done as quickly as possible. If you requested one, don't worry! It's on the way :]

This board doesn't have a specific color scheme, but it certainly has a theme! I'm calling it Farmer's Market Chic. There's lots of fresh herbs (as favors, escort cards and even a wreath!), fruit and vegetables incorporated into the centerpieces and farmers market (or in the case of the bouquet used in the board, supermarket) bouquets transformed into beautifully chic wedding party bouquets. There is a great photo set on how to change supermarket bouquets into wedding day bouquets on Real Simple.
