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?

Real Wedding: Meagan & Michael's Vintage Chic Wedding

I have a lovely vintage inspired real wedding to share with you today!  I love how the couple incorporated feathers into various elements of their big day, especially the bridesmaids hair pieces. And boy, can Meagan and Michael model or what?!?!

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 231: Delightful Doilies

Doilies have such a great feminine and slightly vintage vibe.  And, they are easily incorporated into a wide variety of details some of which are showcased in this board!  I especially love the doily inspired dress.

Monday Funday 22: Victorian Steampunk Inspiration

This is definitely a fun inspiration board, great to brighten up a Monday morning!  The bride who requested this board wanted to work with a brown, purple and teal color palette that incorporated peacock feathers and rusty elements with a steampunk and victorian feel.  Whew... with all these ideas it could get a little over the top but the bride is a professional costumer as well as a cake designer and artist so I'm sure she will pull it off beautifully!  She requested no white (including her dress) so here is the board I came up with!

I love how this bouquet combines real flowers and vintage pins to create a really unique look.  Its a great way to incorporate a wedding color that doesn't usually occur in flowers!

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.

Real Wedding: Erica & Bill's Simple Riverside Wedding

Oh, I am seriously digging Erica's style!!  Her veil is seriously stylish, and her gold-ivory short lace gown... oh my LOVE!  This slightly vintage riverside wedding photographed by Christina Kiffney is just so pretty.  The peach and pomegranate color palette is really lovely for a November wedding and adds to the vintage feel of their wedding.
