Theme Thursday #23-Soda Pop!

I was inspired by the colorful sodas I spotted at Eat, Drink, Chic to create a vintage soda shop themed board. I used bubblegum pink, bright orange and soft yellow as the color palette and made sure to include lots of fun details!

Inspiration #135- Honey Bees and Daisies

This is my first guest post at Becoming the Mrs.! Its a simple daisy white and honey yellow board that incorporates some yellow and white stripes. I especially adore the bouquet in this picture, its so fun and spring-like! The cake is really cool too, kind of modern and very unique.

Inspiration #134- Rocky Mountain Inspired

I'm back again! I really hope to not go MIA this time, I have a lot of free time lately and would love to get back into blogging. Also, Kym from Becoming the Mrs. and DIY Weddings Magazine asked me to be a guest blogger for both sites every Thursday, which is really exciting! Both of her sites are really awesome so you should check them out if you get a chance. I will be posting the two boards I make for her here, every Friday, just to keep track of what I've made and in case you forget to check out her sites!

In other news, I received some requests that I never got to and I would like to apologize if you asked for a board and never had one made. If you are still interested in having one made then please request again and I promise to make you my top priority!

Anyway, on to the board! I received a request from Jessica who wants her wedding to be Rocky Mountain themed. Her color scheme is stone gray, emerald, teal, and magenta. I think it would be nice to keep the ceremony colors mostly the stone gray, emerald and teal with just a surprise pop of magenta as Jessica's bouquet. Then for a fun reception incorporate a lot of the magenta with emerald and teal accents. I like the idea of the bridesmaids carrying white bouquets (tied with stone gray ribbon) and possibly having mismatched emerald and teal dresses. Also, to incorporate the Rocky Mountain theme have stone gray river rocks as the seating cards! Here is the board, hope you like it Jessica, and everyone else too!

Monday Funday #6: Blue Suede Shoes!

Well, this was going to be my entry into My Island Weddings inspiration board contest but then I got super busy and never got to post it! But, here it is now! I did a Graceland themed board, using blue (for Blue Suede shoes) and bubble gum pink (for Elvis's pink Cadillac). I also went for a Priscilla inspired dress, and peanut butter and banana finger sandwiches! What do you think?

Inspiration #133- New Zealand Picnic!

Sorry I have been MIA! Work has been hectic but I'm going to try to get back into posting. I've been working on requests and this is my most recent. This bride asked for a board with a garden picnic, hippy feel to it. They want to use dried lavender (lavender lemonade, yum!), baby's breath and maybe some roses from the market as flowers. I like the idea of the bridesmaids wearing a fun sundress (like the one in this board which is from Urban Outfitters!). They are also going to have a homemade sweets table, a Mexican food truck and use vintage china. The bride mentioned that she loved ribbon and lace so I thought a ribbon board would be awesome for the place cards. As for the hippy/vintage feel, I think an old record player would be a great detail! One other fun detail on this board, hanging vintage picture frames from a tree for take fun photos!

Inspiration #132- Sangria!

I love this Sangria (as David's Bridal calls it) shade of pink! The bride who requested this board is having an October wedding with Sangria bridesmaids dresses. She wants to use shades of pink and purple for the flowers and use pink/purple orchids. I also thought it would be fun to serve Sangria as the signature drink.

Inspiration #131- Oregon Coast Wedding

The bride who requested this board is having a beach wedding but doesn't want a beach theme. Her colors are going to be chocolate, cream, dandelion, aqua and sage green. She wants the feel of the wedding to be a relaxed, country-ish, southern Sunday dinner.

Inspiration #130- Shadework

Balloons, mismatched bridesmaids, and bow ties! I'm loving the colors in this board lately, especially the magenta-ish purple! The touches of yellow are fun too, I love the sunny element yellow brings to any color palette.

Favorite Photo Friday #17- Urban Jungle

There are many elements that I love about this photo. First off, I'm enchanted by the contrast of the urban, garage type building with their formal attire. Of course, I adore the mismatched bridesmaids dresses and I equally love that the groomsmen are just in vests.

Theme Thursday #22- Scrabble!

I'm really loving all these quirky, kitchsy touches I've been finding lately! The use of scrabble tiles as a wedding element is ingenious. I especially love it as a place marker for smaller weddings.

Inspiration #129- Chalk & Pearls

Ok, I have to admit I have a new crush... on chalkboards elements in weddings! I think they are such a fun, inexpensive, unexpected and eco-friendly touch! Pearls are a very classic element so I decided to combine them with the modern touch of chalkboards to come up with this board.

Inspiration #128- First Signs of Spring

I love spotting the first signs of spring! There is so much beauty to be found in the first few robins and daffodils that you find, knowing that the lovely spring weather is here to stay. This inspiration board uses sunny daffodil yellow and soft robin's egg blue for its color palette.

Inspiration #127- Pick Me, Pick Me... No, No, No! Pick Me!

These boards were requested by a bride who is trying to decide on which accent color to use. So do you prefer navy + gray with kelly green accents or navy + gray with hot pink accents?
