Alternative Wednesday 22: Striped Bridesmaids

I have a thing for fun and quirky bridesmaids' dresses.  Striped dresses are very stylish and I bet your bridesmaids will use them again!  Here are some great examples of striped bridesmaids:

Monday Funday 26: Gothic Love Story

This board was originally going to be posted for Halloween but we were hit but Hurricane Sandy so we were without power for a bit!  It's still a fun board though, and I love the elegance that the black, white and red palette convey.  I added some quirky Gothic touches that would be great for a Halloween wedding or for anytime of year!

Inspiration 266: Snow White, Updated

After watching Snow White and the Huntsman, and it being almost Halloween, I wanted to create an updated take on Snow White as a wedding theme.  I incorporated a lot of black and some fun elements like apples in the bouquet and as dessert.  In the future, I plan to update a few of the other classic Disney princesses!

Inspiration 263: Modern Red

I have a love for all things vintage, soft and girly... but I know not everyone feels that way!  How about a bold, modern red and black wedding inspiration board?  I added some fun touches and clean text for a modern feel.

Inspiration 254: Glimmering Fairytale

How about a lovely fairytale wedding for this Monday morning?  A gold and black color palette is hot right now and very classic as well.  I love the sparkler picture... talk about fairytale material!

Theme Thursday 43: Modern Gingham

This board is definitely fun!  I paired black and white gingham with lime for a modern twist, I can definitely see this color palette at a backyard wedding.

Real Wedding: Blair & Nate's Classic Wedding

Blair and Nate are such a gorgeous couple and they definitely know how to look fierce in front of a camera!  They went with a classic color palette of red and black for their big day and they certainly rocked it.

Inspiration 239: Persian Plum

This board was requested by a bride who was a little lost on how to tie her color scheme together.  She is having two adult bridesmaids who are wearing black dresses and a teen bridesmaid who is wearing a Persian Plum colored dress, which she originally thought would be darker to tie in with her vintage-ish gold and ivory wedding gown.  The groomsmen and groom will be wearing gray suits and she is unsure how the bright plum will fit.  I say, embrace the Persian Plum and incorporate it into different elements of your big day to really pull your color scheme together.  I think the top middle bouquet would be great for the bride to pull in both the black and Persian Plum.  I'd also give the boys a Persian Plum boutonniere but keep the rest of their look neutral and incorporate gray, black and Persian Plum into the paper elements.  Hope this helps!

Real Wedding: Meagan & Michael's Vintage Chic Wedding

I have a lovely vintage inspired real wedding to share with you today!  I love how the couple incorporated feathers into various elements of their big day, especially the bridesmaids hair pieces. And boy, can Meagan and Michael model or what?!?!

Real Wedding: Janea & Michael's Pretty Kansas City Wedding

Janea and Michael were married February 19th, I love the eggplant and pink color palette that they used for their big day.  Many congratulations to the happy couple!

Alternative Wednesday 21: Colored Veils

Want to incorporate more of your wedding colors into your big day look?  How about a colored veil?  I'm loving this look!  And don't leave your bridesmaids out either, the look works for them too.
