Theme Thursday 38: Preppy Lakeside Wedding

How about something a little preppy for today?  This board portrays a lakeside wedding with fun preppy details.  I went with a navy and white color palette with some pops of kelly green and khaki.  I love the little yay flag, how adorable is that?

Favorite Photo Friday 24: My Sailor

My boyfriend is away for almost two weeks and although I'm sure that it's nothing like having someone in the military, I miss him terribly!  Anyway, I love this cute vintage engagement shoot.  It is just so sweet!  Check out the rest of the images here.

Theme Thursday 30: Elegant Black & White Polka Dot Anemone Wedding

Anemones are such fun flowers, they are great for a polka dot wedding because they look like giant polka dots themselves!  I went a little more elegant on this board by keeping the polka dots in the details and having the bridesmaids in black.  I think the addition of guinea hen feather hair pieces would be a great way to add polka dots to the bridal party in a sophisticated way.  And that's what I think this board portrays, a fun but sophisticated wedding with visually interesting details.

Inspiration #54- Sentimental Soiree

I love the bridesmaids dresses (it's called 'Slice of Lime' from Anthropologie) this bride chose, I want to buy it for myself! The dress has a hot pink liner too, which she wants to incorporate into the flowers. Yet another element she wanted to incorporate was a few sentimental touches. I love the idea of showing family wedding pictures (the bride's idea), a bouquet charm and handwriting the seating chart on a black board. Another idea is to include sentimental places on the map you use for directions to the wedding. To incorporate the lime from the bridesmaids dresses into the reception I would use cut limes in the centerpieces. One more thing she wants to include is a baseball themed favor since her fiance is a baseball coach. I like the idea of handing out bags of peanuts and cracker jacks (like in the song 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame").
