Theme Thursday 41: Modernized Vintage Barn Wedding

Another requested board!  I was contacted by Christina to make a board for her red barn wedding reception.  She wants to use coral as her main color but questioned if it would clash with the red, but I say no way!  Coral and red actually go together just fine.  For this board I used a few shades of coral (from softer to a more reddish coral), raspberry red, sepia, wood and white for the color palette.  She wants to incorporate a modernized vintage feel that has an outdoor touch to it that I think the natural, free form centerpieces really convey.

Inspiration 224: Raspberry Red

For this board I paired vibrant raspberry red with soft blush for a very romantic color palette.  I love the idea of incorporating raspberries into the flowers, especially for centerpieces.

Inspiration 218: Raspberry and Green Apple

Raspberry pink has stolen my heart!  I love that it's so bright and cheerful without being over the top.  Raspberry pairs well with many colors but for this board I paired it with spring and apple green.  I feel this board has a slightly preppy feel.

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 192: Pop Punk Pink

I felt like posting something bright and fun tonight!  I went with a bright raspberry pink and diamond board with a few punk inspired details.  Like the bridesmaids in pink fishnets and the groom in skinny leg pants, chucks and suspenders.  This was definitely a fun board to make!

Real Wedding: Chris & Kendra's Cute Green Gingham Wedding

I was stuck on gingham this week and this wedding really shows how to incorporate it without going over the top.   Plus, you know that I have a true love for mismatched bridesmaid's looks and now I'm noticing that more weddings are incorporating a few colors in the bridesmaids dress selections.  This raspberry, pale pink, red and green color palette is awfully lovely too.  I love all of the amazing DIY details too, see the rest of the wedding here on Steep Street Photography's blog.

Inspiration #146- Eco-Friendly Raspberry Wedding

Eco-friendly weddings are becoming increasingly popular, which is awesome! The bride who requested this board wants to have an organic, eco-friendly wedding with an raspberry and cucumber color palette. Since one of her colors is "cucumber" I thought it would be a fun, eco-friendly favor to give cucumber and dill seeds so their guests could grow and make their own pickles which I saw on Green Wedding Shoes. I think using a chalkboard for the wedding program (as well as menu and seating chart) is also a great eco-friendly touch. She also plans on including lawn games, lemonade and a parade to reception in her wedding, which are all fun touches!

Inspiration #81- Royal Raspberry

This board is for a bride getting married at Moon Dance Cliffs in Negril, Jamaica. She was having a little trouble picking a color scheme that was fun and worked in the Caribbean setting but wasn't TOO bright. She mentioned that she liked pink, orange, purple, blue and green. I decided to darken the colors just a bit but still keep them vibrant and fun. The final color scheme I came up with is raspberry pink and royal purple with accents of royal/cobalt blue. Hope you like it!
