Inspiration 189: Cotton Clouds

I love the idea of adding natural cotton elements to a wedding!  It can show up anywhere from the boutonnieres to the reception decor to the cake.  And it reminds me of a beautiful sunny day with big fluffy clouds!  For the color palette I went with light sky blue, natural white, birch, khaki and chocolate brown.

Inspiration #167: Aquamarine and Peridot

This board is yet another suggested color palette from the contest.  Someone wanted to see a light blue (but not aqua) and spring green board, so that's exactly what I made.   I really like the pale sky blue and spring green mixture and it's definitely great for spring!

Inspiration #160- The Hottest Color of the Year!

Pantone named Honeysuckle the hottest color of 2011 so I knew I had to make a board with it!  I decided to mix it with a bright blue that is in between aqua and sky blue.  This is a beautiful color palette, great for either spring or summer.

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 #29- Borrowing colors from Fall...

Orange and chocolate brown are a very popular color combo for fall weddings, but I think they can work in the spring/summer too! Just use a pop of sky blue and dress the men in tan suits to brighten them up!

Inspiration #8- With a sky blue sky...

Who doesn't love big blue skies?  I wanted to do something using sky blue and bright summery color so I went with magenta.  Lately, I am REALLY in love with grey suits so I made that the third color for this board.  The gorgeous hair piece was made by Twigs & Honey on etsy.  Here's the board I came up with:
