Inspiration 256: Sophisticated Beach

Aqua and green are the perfect palette for a beach wedding!  I also added some teal to this board to bring a bit of sophistication. The white floral centerpieces in the colorful vase add a fun touch to this inspiration!

Real Wedding: Elizabeth & Chris's Backyard Wedding

Elizabeth & Chris had a lovely backyard wedding in Massachusetts last September.  I love how they incorporated just a few colors into their wedding party and then brightened up the reception but adding a few hints of other colors in.  And the table numbers were Ben & Jerry ice cream flavors, how cute!

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.

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 219: Modern Rustic

After spotting this wedding, I thought a modern rustic board was definitely necessary!  I love how the modern, clean lines pop against the rustic elements of this board.  I think the bridesmaids in a LBD really bring a modern touch too.   For this board I kept with a mainly black and white color palette with a few pops of green!

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.

Real Wedding: Sarah & Brian's Elegant Black and Green Wedding

I have another real wedding to share with you today!  Sarah and Brian's wedding certainly portrays elegance, especially the long black bridesmaid's dresses.  I love the fun pop of lime green to spice things up a bit.  All of the black and white photographs that Linda captured are amazing too!

Inspiration 213: Navy, Lime and Orange-y Red

I have a pretty requested board to share today!  The bride who requested this board wants to use a navy and lime color palette with pops of orange-y red.  She wants to keep most of the orange-y red in the flowers, and I think these poppies are great. Love those navy berries too, they would definitely help tie the other wedding colors into the bouquet.

Real Wedding: Amy & Nick's Awesome Artichoke Wedding

So yesterday I posted about the different ways that you can incorporate artichokes into your wedding and today I have a real wedding that incorporated artichokes into the bouquets and cake!  This wedding was photographed by Hoffmann Photography.  By the way, I love, love, love Amy's gown, so pretty.

Inspiration 197: Combining Hot Colors

Yellow and chocolate brown are a hot color combo, and lime and lemon are also popular so I thought I'd combine them into one board and I really like the way it turned out.  I didn't go with a theme so much as a color scheme for this board but I think it wound up having a hip rustic flair.  I can see this color palette working best in summer or fall.

Inspiration 188: Cross Stitch & Cable Knit

I love spring and summer more than anything else, I despise the cold!  But I have seen some amazing winter wedding inspiration and just had to share this board I made for you, before winter is over.  This crafty board combines cable knit details with cute cross stitch touches.  I really love the centerpieces that combine small balls of yarn and pinecones!  Of course, the cable knit covered vases are really a fun idea as well, I didn't use too many flowers in this board but I think they would be a great addition to your cake or guest book table.  This monochromatic color palette of lime and kelly green is really pretty, and the addition of a few pops of red is a really nice touch for a winter wedding in my opinion.

Theme Thursday #20- Key To My Heart

This board was inspired by these skeleton key wedding invitations I spotted on Betsy White stationary. I think the keys could be a fun and quirky addition to a wedding!

Monday Funday #1- Gold and Green Party!

I felt like making a fun and funky board and here is what I came up with. Lime green, gold and black is definitely a fun color palette to work with. I like the idea of the bridesmaids wearing gold sequin dresses with black tights and carrying lime green bouquets. My favorite elements of this board are the picture frame photo booth and the brides tights!

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.

Inspiration #98- Fun and Funky Lemon and Lime Wedding

The venue that the bride who requested this board is having for her reception looks like a really fun and funky place! She picked her lemon, lime and grey color scheme to match the venues decor. Anyway, if you are in Chicago you should check out the Catalyst Ranch if you are looking for a unique venue. The bride said she hopes her wedding is fun, funky, a little bit retro and a lot a bit DIY. I especially like how the bride AND groom wore green shoes in the photo I used in this board.

Inspiration #96- Navy and Lime Aquarium Wedding

How much fun does an aquarium reception sound? I think it sounds amazing. The bride who requested this board is working with a navy and lime color scheme with pops of orange. She also mentioned that she loves the idea of using fruit in her centerpieces. I have a feeling this wedding is going to be lovely and a lot of fun!

Inspiration #91- Making Black and Orange Work for Spring

The bride who requested this board wanted to work with a orange and black color scheme that didn't look like Halloween. Since her ballroom is brown and cream she plans to use Kermit mums and some pink to brighten it up. So I think incorporating some green or pink into the bridesmaids bouquets definitely help orange work for spring. For the reception she plans to have clusters of vases with monochromatic flowers in each one (so each table would have say a vase with orange tulips, a vase with pink roses, a vase with green Kermit mums etc.)
