Inspiration 250: Bright Nautical Navy

I love fun props at a wedding!  From the nautical props to the "just married" sign this board shows how to incorporate props into your photos without going over the top.  Love the pop of orange in the bridesmaids necklace too!

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 210: Bright Purple and Yellow

I've been on a kind of "sweet and simple" kick lately!  When I saw this wedding on Green Wedding Shoes I knew I wanted to make a yellow and shades of purple board.  I love the array of purples and how they "go" together without looking wild.

Inspiration 207: Hot Pink & Bold Purple Summer Wedding

Loving this bright, beautiful color palette requested by a bride who is getting married in June!  Hot pink and bold purple are great together, and she wants to add a pop of turquoise/aqua which fits in just perfectly.

Alternative Wednesday #19: Skirts for Bridesmaids!

If you want to give your  bridesmaids a modern look that they can wear again (and probably again and again and again...)-- dress them in stylish skirts!  It is also an affordable option with endless choices as far as colors, patterns and styles.  You can create a fun and flirty look, a classy look or a preppy look... the sky's the limit!

Inspiration 201: It's in the Details

The bridesmaids looks in this board rock!  I love how they each have different color shoes and that their shoes match their accessories.  To play off this amazing look I used the colors from their shoes in all the other details of the board.  The cake in this board is pretty awesome as well, I love all the detail work on it.

Real Wedding: Juliana and Kevin's Colorful Button & Bicycle Wedding

Inspiration 173: Bright Vintage Wedding

Usually people who go with a vintage theme for their weddings seem to go for a soft color palette.  The bride who requested this board wanted to mix things up a little and incorporate some vintage elements in with a fuchsia and apple green color combo.  I love this 1930s style wedding gown (by Lulu B.) and invitations.   And I think the bright color palette goes really well with a vintage wedding!

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.

Monday Funday #9- Fly Away With Me...

How much fun is this board? I was inspired by this really great hot air balloon dessert table I spotted on The Sweetest Occasion and the hot air balloon honeymoon pictures from Jose Villa.  I just knew I had to make a board filled with great hot air balloon elements.

Inspiration #155- Bright Aqua and Yellow Backyard Wedding

This is my absolute favorite color palette!  When I get married aqua and yellow will definitely be involved in the color scheme.  The different shaped aqua vases are lovely for a centerpiece and I really adore the idea of the groom wearing a plaid shirt.

Favorite Photo Friday #12- Walking in a Winter Wonderland...

Last week us Northeastern folk were hit by a boatload of snow! And while I'm pretty tired of looking at it I couldn't help falling in love with these images shot by the lovely Jessica Claire. There is just so much to love in these picture sets, the grooms sweater vest, how the bright colors really POP against the soft white snow or the brides stunning dress and head piece... along with every other element of this shoot!

Inspiration #108- Bright Yellow and Green Daisy Wedding

Another comment request :] This couple will be having an indoor ceremony and an outdoor reception. Their color scheme is bright yellow and green with lots of white. The bride wants to use daisies, mums, babys breath and hydrangea for the flowers and do cookies for favors.

Theme Thursday #14- Betsey Johnson Style

I spotted this wedding with the bridesmaids in Betsey Johnson dresses and was definitely in love and inspired. So I thought I'd make a Betsey Johnson style inspiration board. Her clothing and jewelry is always so fun, funky and whimsical and that's what I tried to portray in this board.

Inspiration #67- Brighten up a gray day...

Have I mentioned my love of the fairly recent popularization of gray as a wedding color?  Well just in case you didn't know, I'm in love with gray!  Mainly mixed with bright colors, the pop it creates is amazing.  Here charcoal gray is paired with sunny yellow and hot pink.. what do you think?
