Inspiration 262: Sweet Coral

I promise the next board won't include any form of coral/peach/pink!  This palette is just too sweet to pass up though.  Lovely, bright coral mixes with soft & sweet blush for the perfect wedding colors.  Blush gowns are gaining popularity and coral is the perfect compliment in my opinion!

Inspiration 252: Gemtones

What a fun color palette!  Although it is an unlikely color scheme, amethyst, peridot and aquamarine can work beautifully together.  This would be a lovely palette for a spring wedding, and you could definitely run with the gemstone theme.  A soft blue wedding gown really rounds out the look.

Inspiration 242: Colorful Chevron Stripes

I love the invitations from Max and Molly's wedding created by Wiley Valentine.  So I went with the colors used in them and their wedding to come up with this board!

Monday Funday 21: Victorian Inspired

This board turned out so pretty!  I love the bouquet that combines diamond brooches and silk flowers (stay tuned for a similar bouquet love later today).  The blush and vintage ivory color palette is just beautiful!

Monday Funday 20: Confetti & Sprinkles

The Monique Lhuillier dress at the bottom of this board is just sooo pretty!  I love how the design looks like confetti, and then I remembered the confetti cake I saw on Martha Stewart awhile ago and decided to make it into a board.  I went with a navy and purple color scheme to go with the dress and added fun rainbow sprinkles to make it extra fun!

Real Wedding: Amrit & Daniel's Indian Wedding

I love how vibrantly colorful Indian weddings are!  In fact, most ethnic weddings are so bright and fun.  There are a lot of great images to share from this wedding submitted by Katje Hempel Photography, I am especially fond of the henna shots.

Monday Funday 17: Modern Day Fairytale

Everyone hopes their wedding will be like a fairytale!  I thought I'd play off that idea to come up with a romantic and modern fairytale inspired board.  My favorite fairytale when I was little was Cinderella so for the bridal gown I went with a pale blue tulle dress for the bride.  I love the idea of an outdoor reception under beautiful chandeliers that add a classy whimsical touch.

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 #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!

Inspiration #104- Unique Wedding Gown with a Monochromatic Color Palette

You probably know by now that I love unique and quirky touched. The bride who requested this board recently tried on wedding dresses for the first time and fell in love with silver wedding gowns. To go with her unique dress, she wants the men to wear navy suits and incorporate French Blues and white accents.

Real Wedding Love- Nikki and Rob

I have a mismatched wedding for you! Photographed by the lovely Kella MacPhee in Cape May, New Jersey. I especially love the brides vibrant blue dress and the couples matching Vans. Of course, the color palette is lovely too... it's one I'm considering for my own wedding.

Contest boards!

Kelley over at My Island Wedding is having an inspiration board contest that she invited me to join, how exciting!  She's allowing everyone to enter up to three boards and I've come up with two so far.  Here they are!

The first one is a picnic wedding with a few of our favorite things!  I love the idea of playing games (like croquet or lawn bowling) at the reception.

 "A Few of Our Favorite Things Picnic Wedding"

The second board is a little more elegant but still a lot of fun. I based it off of the poppy and pink color scheme I spotted (and fell in love with) on Martha Steward weddings.  I really adore the pale pink wedding dress I used in this board.
