Inspiration #138 & #139- Which Will They Choose?

I am getting back into making requested boards again! The bride who requested these boards is deciding between two very different themes. The first is a vintage sand and star theme. For this board I went with a aqua, teal, midnight blue, sand and gold color palette. I really, really like the way this board turned out! The second theme is Rasta. Which is totally cool and definitely fun! I went with the Rasta color scheme of red, yellow and green. I think it would be awesome to have a Rasta band at the reception too.

Inspiration #103- Bluegrass Parade Style Wedding

Wedding parades to the reception are certainly a fun idea! I forget when I saw this first, but I definitely think its great. So I was excited when a bride contacted me and said she was planning on having her whole wedding walk parade style to their reception.

The couple also will have a bluegrass band and some refreshments for their guests at the lake near their wedding ceremony while they are taking pictures. Their color palette is sage, white with navy as their dark color (for the men's outfits) and a few pink and gold accents. The bride wants to incorporate pink peonies into some of the flowers. For the board I gave the bride a pink peony bouquet while the bridesmaids would have a white peony bouquet, and I love the simple (which she requested) pew decor. I also love that she doesn't want her bridesmaids to be too matchy-matchy.
