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!

Real Wedding: Katie & Mark's Disneyland Wedding

This wedding is so cute!  I love all the small Disney touches they added to their day to play off the fact that they were married at the Disneyland Hotel. Katie's bouquet is really pretty too, the mix of dahlias, roses and orchids is perfect.

Inspiration Shoot: Rustic Glamour Hot Pink Winter Wedding

I love that photographers are now doing "inspiration shoots" which are essentially staged wedding or fashion shoots to help inspire brides and bloggers who are aiming to inspire brides!  And this one is truly A-MAZING.  The bright pink orchards and dress details really pop in the snow showing that bright colors can definitely work in a winter wedding.  Also, they incorporated a ton of really fun details like the "to go" cafe mocha mugs and the balls or blush roses that resemble giant snow balls. Check out the awesome pictures Kiss the Girl Photography sent over:

Real Wedding: Jenna and Wilson's Neutral Modern Hawaii Wedding

Thought I'd share with you a lovely Hawaiian wedding with you today!  This wedding was photographed by Aric Becker and boy, does it have me wishing I was in Hawaii on vacation.  I like how they kept the wedding color palette neutral and let nature provide its beautiful backdrop!

Inspiration #132- Sangria!

I love this Sangria (as David's Bridal calls it) shade of pink! The bride who requested this board is having an October wedding with Sangria bridesmaids dresses. She wants to use shades of pink and purple for the flowers and use pink/purple orchids. I also thought it would be fun to serve Sangria as the signature drink.

Inspiration #88- Wine Enthusiasts Lilac and Chocolate Wedding

I really love many of the ideas that the bride who requested this board wants to incorporate in her wedding. My favorite is using a magnum of wine as the guest book, I love that its something that can be used and enjoyed in the years to come! She also wants to add a fun accent color to her lilac and chocolate color scheme. Some of the ideas she had were crimson, orchid, plum or Cymbidium Orchid green. I decided to go with the green since her wedding is in April so I think it brightens it up a bit.
