Inspiration 243: Modern Cobalt & Lime

I got this request from a bride who wants to use cobalt and lime as her color scheme to add a modern pop to her New Mexico wedding.  The cake in this board definitely adds a modern touch!

Inspiration 205: Bold Blue and Gray Wedding

I just realized that I've done a lot of gray and yellow and gray and pink boards but I haven't done any, or at least only very few, boards that paired blue and gray.  So I decided one definitely needed to happen!  For this board I combined bold cobalt blue with a slate gray and a few hints of apple green.

Inspiration 202: Spunky Cobalt and Coral

I am really liking bright colors and the way they make softer colors pop.  Cobalt blue is a great shade that can work for any season depending what you pair it with.  For this board I added coral, this palette would work for spring, summer and early fall.
ps- Coral peonies are just so swoon worthy!

Monday Funday 13: Vintage Spanish Style

The bride who requested this board said she was torn between two styles, vintage and Spanish.  Don't worry though, there is no reason to be torn... you can combine both styles!  I think a vintage Spanish theme would be great for a wedding.  The color palette for this board is fun and bright fuchsia, yellow and blue.

Bouquet Love #5 (and a Lovely Color Combo!)

I love the brightness of this color combo, and the fun addition of blue to the popular pink and orange palette!  Check out the rest of the colorful wedding at Southern Wedding Magazine.

Inspiration #149- A Very Round Board

This color combo is another one that was suggested in the contest entries.  I decided to have a little fun with it and incorporate a circle 'theme' along with the orange, aqua and blue color palette!

Monday Funday #8- Starry, Starry Night

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend!  Today I have a board for a bride who is trying to combine her fiance's likes with hers.... he's into space and science fiction while she is into art and retro things.  She wants her wedding to be classy, unique and a bit DIY and was thinking of going with an artsy star theme.  So I took her ideas and came up with this board, inspired by Starry, Starry Night by van Gogh.  I used a blue and yellow color scheme but you could definitely add different shades of blue and green in as well.

Inspiration #147- Lovely Jewel Tones

Here's a bright and fun board for Friday!  Another color suggestion from the contest was bold jewel tones, I went with a deep amethyst and a bright sapphire for this board and it sure is lovely.  I am extremely inspired by brides wearing fun, bright boleros, sweaters and jackets.  It's another great way to add a pop of your wedding colors to your outfit.

Inspiration #122- Peach, Gray and Cerulean

This was a requested board :] The bride wanted to use pale peach and shades of gray with hints of cerulean blue. She also wants to incorporate a slight 50s flair, which I think the wedding dress in this board really fits.

Monday Funday #2- Invitation Inspired

This board was inspired by the whimsy and colors of an invitation created by The Wedding Paper Divas. What do you think? I love the colors, patterned bridesmaids dress and the brides fun turquoise jewelry!

Inspiration #93- Preppy New England Beach Wedding

A monochromatic color palette can be just as fun and cheery as a multicolored one, and I think this board proves that. The bride who requested this board is working with a navy and shades of blue palette for her September beach wedding in New England. Her theme is elegant, preppy beach with a touch of a rustic feel. I think the grey and navy is a nice alternative to the usual khaki and navy seen at a lot of "preppy" weddings.

Inspiration #92- Southern California Mediterranean Blue Wedding

I really like this unique color palette! This board was created for a June 2010 wedding in Southern California. The bride wants to use a color palette of Mediterranean blue with lavender and silver accents. I especially like the idea of using Lavender sprigs in the drinks, so pretty!
