Inspiration Board #5 – Navy, Purple, and Lace

 

Inspiration Board #5 – Navy, Purple, and Lace

I made this for a very good friend of mine – you know who you are!! When she told me the color palette, I instantly pictured a lush garden reception with classic and formal details, but a little on the non-traditional side. I envisioned a groom in a dark suit with a bright fun tie and bridesmaids in fun dresses. These anthropologie gowns fit the bill! I love the subtle inclusion of lace in the cake and the bridesmaids adorable gowns. The Anna Maier Ulla-Maija gown is to DIE for. I also love Sperry tents for a garden reception in the spring. Tell me what you think below!

1. Cake – classic and elegant

2. Groom’s outfit – fun and formal, but not stuffy!

3. Lace gown – do yourself a favor and check out this amazing wedding. The venue in Charleston is to die for!

4. Sperry tent – totally gorgeous. So worth the expense ( they are VERY pricey! )

5. Bouquet – the wedding this bouquet came from has STUNNING flowers.

6. Bridesmaids – adorable. ‘Nuf said.

7. Invite – I couldn’t find where these came from but I LOVE the classic filigree but the modern layout.

 

Inspiration Board #4 – Nautical navy, coral, white, and light lime

I made this board for a sweet friend of mine that lets me indulge her day in and day out with wedding mumbo jumbo. I asked her if she were to get married, what her dream color palette would be. She asked for a nautical feel with navy, coral, white, and seafoam (which I went with more light lime in this board). The result is below! I encourage you to click the links as well – the weddings featured are all stunning.

Clockwise from top left:

1. Boutonniere  – a small pop of coral

2. Adorable ring bearer – I just LOVE his outfit!

3. Paper suite – preppy navy and coral designed by Posh Paperie

4. Reception space - I just love how glam this is!

5. Bouquet – don’t you just LOVE that striped bouquet wrap? So nautical!

6. Wedding cake – this is so whimsical and I love the stripes and the rope!

7. Sailboat

8. Amsale Dahlia gown – The wedding I pulled this image from is a stunner. This is also one of my friend’s favorite wedding gowns ever.

9. Bridesmaid’s outfits – probably my fave of all time. The skirt is from Anne M Cramer.

Hope y’all love it! I think this would be a stunning wedding if I must say so myself.

Inspiration Board #2 – yellow, coral, and white

Clockwise from top left:

1. Coral Ombre birthday cake - I really love this style of cake – I bet it’d be very expensive for a whole wedding cake, but super cute if you were doing multiple cakes.

2. Centerpiece with coral peony - I also love the milk glass arrangement, colorful and fun!

3. ‘Eat, Drink, They’re Married’ sign - Perfect signage for a reception!

4. My floral bouquet – picture by Stephen DeVries Photography - It was fun taking my bouquet and applying it to a very different color palette than what I had at my own wedding! That’s what I loved about my bouquet, it was so versatile!

5. Yellow bridesmaids - I have liked this bridesmaid’s dress assortment for a very long time, one of the weddings I saw early in the process and it’s just stunning.

Hope you enjoy!
