Inspiration 268: Classy Teal and White

Today I have another post for you with a late fall color palette.  I went more simple with this one, using teal mixed with whites and creams.  Teal is one of my favorite colors and looks beautiful on everyone!

Inspiration 259: A Lovely Neutral Rustic Wedding

I am a huge fan of color so I tend to do a lot of bright and colorful boards but my neutral boards are lacking a bit.  This board is just lovely though!  The mismatched bridesmaids dresses add some flair and the ruffled cake is to die for.

Real Wedding: Amanda & Chris's California Mansion Wedding

Oh what a beautiful venue!  The Jefferson Street Mansion is a restored military officer's home and is such a pretty location for a wedding.  Of course it doesn't hurt that Amanda and Chris are such a lovely couple!  Amanda's dress is beyond gorgeous and her spring green bouquet adds fun pop of color.

Inspiration 234: Non-Preppy Navy

I got a request for a fun textured board with a navy, gray and cream color palette.  The bride who requested the board didn't want a preppy feel and wants to incorporate quirky touches into her wedding like bridesmaids hats.  I love the idea of a fun boutonniere too, like a pinwheel!  Mismatched bridesmaids dresses can add a lot of texture and visual interest to your wedding day and since part of their reception venue is a library I think incorporating books into the centerpiece would really tie that into her wedding day.

Inspiration 231: Delightful Doilies

Doilies have such a great feminine and slightly vintage vibe.  And, they are easily incorporated into a wide variety of details some of which are showcased in this board!  I especially love the doily inspired dress.

Bouquet Love!

I love how this bouquet combines real flowers and vintage pins to create a really unique look.  Its a great way to incorporate a wedding color that doesn't usually occur in flowers!

Love and Lavender

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!

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?

Inspiration 195: Birch & Baby's Breathe

I love the simplicity of baby's breathe and I think it deserves a place as more than just a filler in supermarket bouquets.  In this board I went with a neutral color palette and paired it up with some birch wood elements.  There are some really great inspirational images in this board for incorporating both of these elements into your wedding day!

Inspiration 188: Cross Stitch & Cable Knit

I love spring and summer more than anything else, I despise the cold!  But I have seen some amazing winter wedding inspiration and just had to share this board I made for you, before winter is over.  This crafty board combines cable knit details with cute cross stitch touches.  I really love the centerpieces that combine small balls of yarn and pinecones!  Of course, the cable knit covered vases are really a fun idea as well, I didn't use too many flowers in this board but I think they would be a great addition to your cake or guest book table.  This monochromatic color palette of lime and kelly green is really pretty, and the addition of a few pops of red is a really nice touch for a winter wedding in my opinion.

Inspiration 178: Romantic Champagne & Gold

Another requested board!  I absolutely love the beautiful photo in the top left corner of this board, that outdoor chandelier is so romantic.  The bride who requested this board wants to have a champagne, gold, ivory and soft pink color palette.  This board has such a lovely, romantic feel to it and the combination of champagne, gold and pale pink is timeless and elegant.

Bouquet Love #4!

I love the color palette of this bouquet, SO PRETTY!  Expect to see a board inspired by it's loveliness soon!

Inspiration #136- Transitioning to Spring

This was my other guest blogger post! I think this color combo would be great for a wedding in ealy spring, the combination of the darker teal and robin's egg is not too bright for late winter but also not too dark for spring. This also includes a J. Crew wedding dress and I think all white or ivory flowers would go the best with this color palette!

Inspiration #129- Chalk & Pearls

Ok, I have to admit I have a new crush... on chalkboards elements in weddings! I think they are such a fun, inexpensive, unexpected and eco-friendly touch! Pearls are a very classic element so I decided to combine them with the modern touch of chalkboards to come up with this board.

Inspriation #114- Black Lace and Ivory

This is the last request from the contest comments. Someone asked for a black, ivory and lace inspiration board, so here it is! I decided to make it black lace and ivory, I thought that was a little different and a fun alternative.

Inspiration #87- Romantic Elegance with Fun Details

The bride who requested this board wants to have a very elegant wedding to match her very elegant and beautiful venue. Her color scheme is pale pink and cream and her bridesmaids are wearing charcoal colored dresses. Also, her fiance is Japanese so she wants to incorporate some Asian elements. I used a Japanese Cherry Blossom branch (which are so pretty and pink so they match the color scheme!) guest book pictured in the top right corner. Some of the fun details she plans to have black and white photos of her American Eskimo dog as table numbers and for her bouquet to be deep purple. This sounds like its going to be a gorgeous and fun wedding!

Inspiration #60- Soft Romantic Summer

I love how romantic and summery this board came out! It's a little bit vintage as well. I usually love colorful weddings but I love the soft feel of an ivory and champagne wedding. This is the last board for mismatched bridesmaids week!
