Real Wedding: Erica & Bill's Simple Riverside Wedding

Oh, I am seriously digging Erica's style!!  Her veil is seriously stylish, and her gold-ivory short lace gown... oh my LOVE!  This slightly vintage riverside wedding photographed by Christina Kiffney is just so pretty.  The peach and pomegranate color palette is really lovely for a November wedding and adds to the vintage feel of their wedding.

Inspiration 211: Elegant Wine & Berries

Getting back to the suggested palettes from the contest awhile back I created this wine and berries board on someone's suggestion!  I combined the wine/sangria color with bold red (like strawberries), cranberry and a mixture of pinks.  Of course, I love the blackberries combined into the top left bouquet!

Inspiration 206: Bohemian Like You

Sorry, I just had to make the title that... I love that song!  Anyway, this board has a bit of a bohemian feel to it.  I incorporated feathers and a monochromatic pink palette to create this look, and I think it's lovely.  I drew the color palette from the awesome ombre (means shaded in French) cake and added a cranberry pink to the flowers to really make a statement.

Inspiration #165: Charcoal and Crimson

I featured this wedding way back here (shot by Travis Hoehne) and planned to one day make a board out of it.  And it's finally here!  I thought it was a good board to post for some pre-Valentine's Day inspiration.  The bouquet featured in this board is nothing short of lovely.

Inspiration #111- Early Fall Wedding

This board was requested by a bride who I made a winter board for previously! She is now engaged (congratulations!) and they set their date for 10-02-10. So, she requested a new board that would work for her fall wedding. The color scheme she wants to work with is crimson and orange with touches of chocolate and green. Both her fiancee and her love wedding cakes so I included two!

Inspiration #107- Tuscany

One of the commenters on my contest had a request for a Tuscan inspired wedding and here it is! I love the idea of it being very family oriented (sitting at one or a few long tables and having the food served family style, meaning in big bowls and you serve yourself). The cake in this board is rad too, covered in sunflowers and black olives! Miniature cannoli would be fun for dessert and baskets of tomatoes or cute bottles of olive oil are great favor ideas. The color scheme for this board is sunflower yellow and shades of red with a few pops of green.

Inspiration #105- Pomegranate and Peach Rustic Wedding

Fall is on it's way, and it brings with it some lovely late summer/ early fall color palettes. I am really liking this burgundy and peach combo! This board was created for a bride who is planning a barn wedding that incorporates fruit and wood into a lot of the elements. I'm definitely in love with fruit centerpieces (maybe pomegranates and peaches? or cranberries?) and the carved wood table numbers.

Inspiration #34- There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky...

I love red skies, they are really romantic. This board is another request, the bride wanted to do cranberry with some type of blue. I paired it with sky blue, I really love the brightness it brings to the entire wedding.

Inspiration #13- My mom's wedding

In honor of Mother's Day I made an inspiration board based on my mom's wedding colors- cranberry and pink. Enjoy!
