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.

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 Shoot: The Oxford Hotel

This inspiration shoot was done by Byron Roe Photography to show off the possibilities of the eco-friendly Oxford Hotel in Oregon as a wedding venue.  I love the big open windows of the ceremony location, so pretty!

Theme Thursday 41: Modernized Vintage Barn Wedding

Another requested board!  I was contacted by Christina to make a board for her red barn wedding reception.  She wants to use coral as her main color but questioned if it would clash with the red, but I say no way!  Coral and red actually go together just fine.  For this board I used a few shades of coral (from softer to a more reddish coral), raspberry red, sepia, wood and white for the color palette.  She wants to incorporate a modernized vintage feel that has an outdoor touch to it that I think the natural, free form centerpieces really convey.

Inspiration 229: City Loft

Loft weddings are so chic and modern.  For this board I kept the color palette classy with black, white and exposed brick.  Fancy white calligraphy on black paper really adds a modern pop and the long centerpieces down the whole table are very chic.  Loving the skyline backdrop too, so simple but a fun twist!

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!

Inspiraion 215: Modern Whimsy

I think the bouquet in this board is just so whimsical, but modern at the same time.  So I took that idea and ran with it to create this board.  The zig-zag table runner is definitely fun & modern and the abstract cake is a unique touch.

Real Wedding: Jenna and Wilson's Neutral Modern Hawaii Wedding

Thought I'd share with you a lovely Hawaiian wedding with you today!  This wedding was photographed by Aric Becker and boy, does it have me wishing I was in Hawaii on vacation.  I like how they kept the wedding color palette neutral and let nature provide its beautiful backdrop!

Inspiration #137- Modern Gray and Purple

I feel like I tend to do a lot of rustic an fun boards so I wanted to do something more modern and urban. The cake in this board is really cool and different, and I like that it mimics the brides bouquet. I like the idea of the bridesmaids and groomsmen having purple flowers and all the other flowers are white giving the reception a clean, crisp feel.
