Category — inspiration boards

I have posted many an inspiration board from Snippet and Ink, and after they posted today’s you now get another

We are leaning towards more of a marigold color, but these pictures are awesome. My two favorites are the shoes and the foam finger… amazing

If you haven’t checked out this flickr group yet, do it! Here are a few of my favorites:

(love that hair!)

Simple, handmade, family oriented, lovely. 

To post todays inspiration board!  An unexpected lunch date pulled me away from posting this afternoon, I’m so sorry  So here it is, the food board

Nothing too crazy. We will be having tray passed appetizers, drinks, and with a little luck (fingers crossed!) a gelato cart at the end! Simple, delicious, fun. I can’t wait

There are so many great wedding photographers out there, and so many more great wedding photos.  Here are just a few images that I would like to have of B and I from our day.

So it is pretty rare that I have a night where I have no design work to do. Usually when I can get away with not working into the night I do whatever I can to put away my computer and look at the real world for a while However, tonight was an exception. I have yet to do an inspiration board, i think mostly because there are just so many amazing ideas out there that trying to narrow them down into just a few images would seem so confining. 

However, now that i have my dress, the church, the reception venue (still trying not to jinx this) and more of a vision of what MY wedding will be like, I was able to put together a few boards. Yes, a few. I still couldn’t narrow it down to just one :) 

Here are the first two boards. This first one is the fashion board. I do already have my dress, and it is lace, which I am so so happy with. I love the look of the mans grey suit, the woman’s headband, the clean look of pearls, and the uniform look of bridesmaids

This next one is rings and paper. I love the idea of the accordion program, and will most likely use it. The ring bowl from Palomas Nest is very modern and would be perfect to keep our rings in on an everyday basis. The three rings below are gorgeous. I will have to show a picture of my ring one day, it is not your average engagement ring, and I kind of enjoy watching people try to find something sweet to say when they see it… is that evil? Anyways, the ring with the 4 bigger diamonds on it, that it the kind of wedding band I would like (*ahem*).  The paper suite on the bottom right is just executed so well. 

(images are found in mixed places, from Style me Pretty, A Practical Wedding, The Bride’s Guide, Snippet and Ink, Junebug Weddings, and i think that is it. Please let me know if I left you out!)

I will post the rest of the boards (yes, there are more ) over the rest of the week.  Now, it is time for the computer to go away and the olympics to begin. Go USA!

If “it’s the brides wedding, she gets whatever she wants and the groom gets to sit down and shut up” were true for us. (Thank God it isn’t, but I do love this palette!) From here.

I’m not sure why you started reading wedding blogs, but I am pretty sure it started like this: “Holy Crap, I’m engaged!!!!!!!!!!! ………… Now what?” And then you turned to your faithful computer, and to the even more faithful google, and typed in “wedding”.  We all started in the same boat, and thanks to the girls over at Elizabeth Anne Designs, that boat just became a yacht with a full bar and shrimp cocktails. Here is a little tidbit from them about their new library:

“We are incredibly excited to announce our new project, The EAD Library.  After months of development and research, we are launching a new resource for brides tomorrow, Tuesday July 22nd.  The Library is filled with hundreds of useful links, from photographers to shops to stationers.  Our goal is a simple, comprehensive list of vendors.  The Library will help every bride, no matter her location, find the vendors and inspiration she needs for a beautiful event.”

This is a very, i repeat, very useful resource! The library is super extensive with lists upon lists of all kinds of vendors from photographers to calligraphers to bakers. Everything you need to plan your wedding! And on top of their new library, the EAD blog itself is full of inspiration. Go check it out!

Fourth of July just feels like summer to me. Here are some red white and blue boards via Snippet & Ink that express the perfect summertime wedding.  Enjoy the three day weekend everyone! I know I will

For being a 4 day work week… it is going by pretty darn slow. Happy Wednesday everyone Here is another board found on Snippet & Ink. The bouquet on the bicycle is gorgeous. Like every bride I dreamt of peonies. Gorgeous fluffy full white peonies. But once I found out that they aren’t the easiest, or cheapest for that matter, flower to come by, I turned to ranunculus. And what do you know, they come in sunshine If you need help choosing colors, or you have a palette that you just aren’t sure works, check out Snippet & Ink. She has every color palette imaginable and great ideas on how to make them work!
