Inspiration 260: Navy Beach Wedding

I have a pretty blue board for you today!  Shades of blue incorporated with beach-y elements are definitely perfect for your ocean side wedding day.  I love the wavy pattern on the cake and the groom's stylish but casual outfit!  Oh and how about the tie dyed dress?  Just fabulous.

Inspiration 255: Burlap and Tea Tins

I think burlap and teatins really compliment each other well!  The soft vintage feel of the tea tins and the rustic feel of burlap would be great for a barn or outdoor wedding.  What do you think of this board?

Inspiration 245: French Blue & Blush English Countryside

Last week seemed to be all about bright colors, this week I'm on pastels!  This board was requested by a bride who is planning a rustic wedding in Texas with a English countryside feel since both her fiance and her are English.  Her color palette is French blue and blush which I think works perfectly with the feel she is going for!

Theme Thursday 42: Something Blue

This Theme Thursday is a little different.  I loved the blue tulle underskirt and wanted to show other ways to incorporate your "something blue" into your big day.  Of course, this ice blue and white color palette is lovely if you want to make it your palette!

Alternative Wednesday 21: Colored Veils

Want to incorporate more of your wedding colors into your big day look?  How about a colored veil?  I'm loving this look!  And don't leave your bridesmaids out either, the look works for them too.

Theme Thursday 37: Tiffany Lamp Inspired

I love the soft pastels of this Tiffany lamp inspired wedding cake, so beautiful!  So I went with a soft, vintage pastel palette for this board.  The escort cards in this board are simple but pretty, I love how all the different vintage scrolls look together.

Monday Funday 17: Modern Day Fairytale

Everyone hopes their wedding will be like a fairytale!  I thought I'd play off that idea to come up with a romantic and modern fairytale inspired board.  My favorite fairytale when I was little was Cinderella so for the bridal gown I went with a pale blue tulle dress for the bride.  I love the idea of an outdoor reception under beautiful chandeliers that add a classy whimsical touch.

Monday Funday 16- Skylines and Rooftops: a (500) Days of Summer Wedding

(500) Days of Summer is my favorite movie, and when I saw this (500) Days of Summer wedding shoot on Sarah Yates blog I knew I was going to make a board inspired by it!  For the wedding gown, I went with something short with a blue bow to reflect the dress Summer wore to the wedding in the movie.  I love that at the shoot they incorporated a pancake buffet, so yummy sounding.  How about blue printed dresses like the one Summer wore at her rooftop party for your bridesmaids?  And don't forget the skylines and chalkboards!

Theme Thursday 32: Soft Romantic Beach Wedding

I am really ready for summer!  So for today I have a lovely beach wedding inspiration board for you.  I went with a pretty and soft seafoam green, gray-ish blue and ivory color palette for this board and wanted to keep in very romantic and pretty.  What do you think?

Inspiration 189: Cotton Clouds

I love the idea of adding natural cotton elements to a wedding!  It can show up anywhere from the boutonnieres to the reception decor to the cake.  And it reminds me of a beautiful sunny day with big fluffy clouds!  For the color palette I went with light sky blue, natural white, birch, khaki and chocolate brown.

Inspiration 182: Soft Purple and Blue with a Pop

I love the way the brighter purples and blues add a pop to this soft pastel board.  Hydrangeas play a big part in this board but I love the small purple flowers in the centerpiece of the picture in the top right corner.  What do you think of this color palette?

Inspiration 176- Clouds and Sunshine

When I came across this pale, pale blue and bright yellow and peach wedding I knew it would make a great board.  The pale cloud blue really makes the yellow pop!  This color palette would be excellent for an spring wedding.

Inspiration 174- Country City Fusion

Oh, this color combo is just lovely!  The bride who requested this board wanted to work with a sophisticated white and black color palette with the flowers adding a pop of color.  She wanted to incorporate coral peonies, blue hydrangeas and pink ranunculus.  I focused this board more on the bright, pretty flowers but I really think this color combo will compliment a black and white wedding well!

Inspiration 171: Pink and Blue, Is It For You?

Baby pink and blue are usually reserved for just that, babies!  Lately I have been seeing a bunch of baby pink and blue weddings so I thought I'd make a board inspired by them and I actually think this color palette is really pretty.  And that pink convertible picture is really making my swoon, and want a pink car!

Inspiration #167: Aquamarine and Peridot

This board is yet another suggested color palette from the contest.  Someone wanted to see a light blue (but not aqua) and spring green board, so that's exactly what I made.   I really like the pale sky blue and spring green mixture and it's definitely great for spring!

Theme Thursdauy #18- Vintage Brooches

When I saw these bouquets made out of vintage flower brooches I knew I had to make a board out of them! They are just too lovely to be ignored. They work great on a headband, as place cards or even for a boutonniere!

Inspiration #112- NOT Aqua and Red

I know aqua and red are a popular color combo, I even like the palette myself. This inspiration board is for something a little different though, pale blue and red. I think this color combo works just as well! The bride wants her wedding to have a light, breezy summer day at the shore feel to it.
