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!

Good morning! You know when the weekend comes up and you have nothing planned and you are so excited to just, well, do whatever, even if that means doing nothing? Well that was how I felt Friday, yet somehow I ended up just going going going all weekend and I am exhausted. Between walking around Bass Pro Shop for a few hours (how many stores do you know of that have thousands of pictures of them on flickr?) and trying to keep up with 60+ children – all under 10 – Sunday morning… I could have slept for a few more hours this morning. I needed a day off from my weekend. But alas, here I am. Awake before 8am…   Here is some inspiration via Snippet and Ink to keep you (and me) going. 

These are our wedding colors, which i like to call grey and sunshine  At first I wanted a really pretty, feminine palette. Light grey/silver with whites and light pinks. However, this proved a little too feminine for Bryan, so we went with this one. I am excited to work the colors into the wedding. Later on I’ll post some possible bridesmaid dresses while I continue to gush about how much i love JCrew.

Lauren, if your internet is up and running, these boards are for you

And my personal favorite ‘purple’ inspiration board:

All boards found on snippet and ink.
