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!

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.

Real Wedding: Amy & Jordan's Colorful October Wedding

Today I have a lovely wedding to share with you from Jason + Gina Photography.  The bride incorporated pale yellow bridesmaid's dresses with bright and colorful bouquets.  I love the groom's unique boutonniere too!  I think this wedding is an excellent example to draw inspiration from if you want something different then the usual fall color scheme.

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?

Real Wedding: Juliana and Kevin's Colorful Button & Bicycle Wedding

Oh do I love this wedding!  First, the color palette is beautiful!  The fun and bright bouquet is really lovely and I love how they incorporated buttons and feathers.  I also love the bridesmaids looks, and pretty much every detail of this wedding!  To see the rest of this wedding check it out on Love and Lavender.

Bouquet Love #5 (and a Lovely Color Combo!)

I love the brightness of this color combo, and the fun addition of blue to the popular pink and orange palette!  Check out the rest of the colorful wedding at Southern Wedding Magazine.

Monday Funday #9- Fly Away With Me...

How much fun is this board? I was inspired by this really great hot air balloon dessert table I spotted on The Sweetest Occasion and the hot air balloon honeymoon pictures from Jose Villa.  I just knew I had to make a board filled with great hot air balloon elements.

Favorite Photo Friday #13- Something Beachy

New Jersey is covered in snow, again. It's getting to be a bit much so I thought I'd share something beachy to cheer me (and anyone else that's sick of snow) up! And check out the fun outfits the groom and his groomsmen wore!

Two Short Wedding Dress Weddings I LOVE!

I am LOVING both of these weddings. The first is photographed by Christine Farah and I really adore the lovely bright bouquets, the custom Converses for the whole wedding party, the fact that the bridesmaids carried pomanders and the bride's adorable, short dress!

The second wedding was shot by David McNeil. These two are definitely stylish! Love the groom's unique outfit, the bride's unique headpiece, her fun bouquet and of course, her lovely dress! To see the rest of the photos from these weddings click on the photographers names.

Theme Thursday #10- Alice In Wonderland

This could be a very fun theme to work with!  There are a million elements that you could incorporate making your wedding more or less themed.  Here are some ideas that I think are lovely:

Alternative Wednesdays #7- Different Bouquets!

To go along with "mismatch week" I wanted to come up with something that was along the same line for this Alternative Wednesday.  What I came up with was mismatched bridesmaids bouquets!  You could do same flowers in different colors, different flowers in different colors, different flowers in similar shades of one color or the same type of flowers in different shades of one color.  I think that having each bridesmaid carry a bouquet of one of the flowers that make up your bouquet looks lovely.  There are tons of possibilities!  I really enjoy the personality and quirky-ness this detail adds to weddings.  Here are some examples I found:
