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 #131- Oregon Coast Wedding

The bride who requested this board is having a beach wedding but doesn't want a beach theme. Her colors are going to be chocolate, cream, dandelion, aqua and sage green. She wants the feel of the wedding to be a relaxed, country-ish, southern Sunday dinner.

Inspiration #130- Shadework

Balloons, mismatched bridesmaids, and bow ties! I'm loving the colors in this board lately, especially the magenta-ish purple! The touches of yellow are fun too, I love the sunny element yellow brings to any color palette.

Favorite Photo Friday #17- Urban Jungle

There are many elements that I love about this photo. First off, I'm enchanted by the contrast of the urban, garage type building with their formal attire. Of course, I adore the mismatched bridesmaids dresses and I equally love that the groomsmen are just in vests.

Theme Thursday #22- Scrabble!

I'm really loving all these quirky, kitchsy touches I've been finding lately! The use of scrabble tiles as a wedding element is ingenious. I especially love it as a place marker for smaller weddings.

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.

Inspiration #128- First Signs of Spring

I love spotting the first signs of spring! There is so much beauty to be found in the first few robins and daffodils that you find, knowing that the lovely spring weather is here to stay. This inspiration board uses sunny daffodil yellow and soft robin's egg blue for its color palette.

Inspiration #127- Pick Me, Pick Me... No, No, No! Pick Me!

These boards were requested by a bride who is trying to decide on which accent color to use. So do you prefer navy + gray with kelly green accents or navy + gray with hot pink accents?

Inspiration #125- Bay Side Wedding

Wow, I can't believe I've created 125 (well really more since I don't count the theme Thursday or Monday fun day boards!) inspiration boards!! I'm thinking about having another give away when I reach 150 so stay tuned for that :]

Anyway, this is a requested board for a bride getting married in Morro Bay who didn't want to go with a beach-y theme. Her color palette is gray and blush pink and I thought adding some pearl jewelry would be a fun hint at beachy-ness without being theme-y.

Theme Thursday #21- Viva Las Vegas!

Being that I spent last weekend in Vegas for my best friends birthday I thought it was fitting to have a Vegas themed board! I especially love the custom playing card favors and the save the date!
