Inspiration Board of the Week – Black & Gold

Thursday, January 6th, 2011 by admin

Last week was silver and gold, and this week it’s black and gold. Gold really looks most sophisticated and elegant in soft hues, but then again, I have always been a sucker for softer metallics. My favorite piece of inspiration here is the incorporation of black into the bouquet.

In honor of New Year’s, which somehow always manages to sneak up on me, this inspiration board is all about ringing it in.

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Coral Yellow & Taupe

Thursday, December 16th, 2010 by admin

It has been so freakishly cold, and I live in the South ya’ll. I didn’t think I signed up for this when I moved back from NYC. Anywho, I fell in love with this color palette because it’s warm and happy, yet subtle. Most beachy color schemes tend to use brights, which are great too, but this gives another option for someone who likes color, but doesn’t want it to scream.

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Pale Pink & Gold

Thursday, December 9th, 2010 by admin

Today’s wedding inspiration board colors just came to me for some reason(usually I have to really think hard). I knew I wanted to highlight a soft whimsical palette, that could work for just about any wedding at just about any time of the year, and this is it, for now. Enjoy!

{Fashioning Weddings} Wrapped Up In Marc by Marc

This lovely little Marc by Marc Jacobs beachy scarf inspired today’s post. Coral is so major for spring,and I liked the non-typical pairing of coral back to grey here. It’s a refreshing take on a color that gets a whole lot of wear in the bridal world.

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Red & White

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 by admin

I love this time of year because the special edition candy cane ice cream is finally back in stores. I’m not a huge fan of peppermint in general, but put it in a vat of wholesome ice cream goodness and I am all about it. So, in the holiday spirit, this week’s inspiration board was inspired by the red and white stripe treat we all know, and love (at least in some form or another).

This week’s color theme is inspired by this great day of eating till you just can’t eat anymore. Yes, Thanksgiving, and here is an inspiration board to celebrate the holiday of being thankful without being too cliche.

Color Theme of the Week – Red & Pink

Thursday, November 11th, 2010 by admin

I’ve kind of got pink on the brain. This is something I thought I would NEVER (ever, ever) say, but it seems preparing for a baby girl has already changed me. So this week it’s pink and red.

My favorite off the beaten track wedding dress EVER. Yes, it’s pink, and yes it’s made of plates. Turns out this couple was celebrating their 1 year anniversary, so the former bride had a local designer make her a dress, and her husband a tie, out of paper! Then they had a little photoshoot. So clever.
