Inspiration 264: Don't Get the Blues...

I love the dress in this board, the navy with to pop of aqua at the bottom is just perfect.  That was the inspiration for the rest of this board... I added some tiffany blue in too!

Inspiration 251: Italian Soiree

How about some eggplant and mustard?  This is a great color palette for a fall wedding and definitely would work for an Italian or vineyard wedding.  What do you think of the eggplant and mustard 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 34: Let's Go Camping!

I came up with this board while I was working on Alternative Wednesday this week.  I found a cute camping wedding with the bridesmaids in separates so I created a board around their looks!  I think camping/campground weddings are so casually fun and adore the wildflower bouquet in this board.  I'm starting to think wildflowers are the perfect touch to any casual outdoor wedding!

Alternative Wednesday #19: Skirts for Bridesmaids!

If you want to give your  bridesmaids a modern look that they can wear again (and probably again and again and again...)-- dress them in stylish skirts!  It is also an affordable option with endless choices as far as colors, patterns and styles.  You can create a fun and flirty look, a classy look or a preppy look... the sky's the limit!

Real Wedding: Juliana and Kevin's Colorful Button & Bicycle Wedding

Oh do I love this wedding!  First, the color palette is beautiful!  The fun and bright bouquet is really lovely and I love how they incorporated buttons and feathers.  I also love the bridesmaids looks, and pretty much every detail of this wedding!  To see the rest of this wedding check it out on Love and Lavender.

Inspiration 175: Unique Red, Yellow and Purple Wedding

I really like the fun addition of purple to a red and yellow color scheme.  I decided to keep this board unique by adding in a patterned yellow bridesmaids look.

Inspiration #150- A Small DIY Backyard Wedding

I love it when brides request boards for two different color palettes that they are deciding between!  The bride who requested these boards is having a small backyard wedding that she plans on having a romantic and artsy feel with DIY details.  The two color sets she was deciding between were a more vintage pastel yellow, green and robin's egg palette or an artsy lemon, cherry red and turquoise combination.  I truly love both of these boards and the fun elements they contain, I would have a hard time picking between the two!

Theme Thursday #21- Viva Las Vegas!

Being that I spent last weekend in Vegas for my best friends birthday I thought it was fitting to have a Vegas themed board! I especially love the custom playing card favors and the save the date!

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!

Favorite Wedding Friday #11- Pretty Pretty Picnic

Check it out! Love the mismatched bridesmaids (of course, and I actually suggested one of these dresses in my first Alternative Wednesdays post- look, look!), and the school bus limo, and of course that it was a picnic wedding. It was really hard for me to just pick a few photos, let alone one. That's why from now on this feature will be called Favorite Wedding Friday instead of just Favorite Photo Friday.

Inspiration #94- A Non-traditional Winter Wedding

A bride who wants to wear converse? Amazing! I love little non-traditional details like that, another non-traditional element I really like is patterned bridesmaids dresses. The bride who requested this board is using a cobalt and platinum color palette for her winter themed wedding. She mentioned that she loved the cake topper shown in this board, which I think is totally modern and very cute. I also like the idea of finding some graffiti to take some wedding photos in front of, very non-traditional and very fun!

Inspiration #77- Gray and Lime

Two of the hottest wedding colors this year and they definitely work well together too! I especially love the gray patterned bridesmaids dresses with the lime belt.

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").
