Board #93 | The Silver Screen

5 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Since it’s Saturday night and I’m spending it watching Ugly Betty online (what?) and my best friend is spending it in the library on Law School Exam Lock Down we both felt a weekend inspiration board was in order. A little Hollywood glam a la Marilyn. If this were my event, I’d walk down the aisle on a red carpet and I’d set up a movie screen for the kids. There would be a popcorn bar and lots of champagne.

Mood: Hollywood glamour
Palette: red, white, silver, black

Ten Lords a-Leaping

I know this isn’t an inspiration board in the typical fashion, but I found so many great “leaping” images that I had to share!

Board #92 | Champagne and Beach Cruisers

6 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Amanda wrote me a while back looking for a board that would reflect her vision for a wedding by the beach. She wants a laid back Southern California feel without sacrificing any elegance: “like sipping Champagne while riding a beach cruiser down the boardwalk” as she put it. I love that image (in fact, if I were Amanda, I would definitely make sure to get some photos of exactly that). Amanda also said that she wants all white flowers, with green and turquoise accents in the form of ribbons, fabric, etc. (If the turquoise in this board is too light, or too baby blue looking for you, just swap it out for a deeper hue.) To keep things from feeling stuffy, I would have the guys wear khakis and Converse. I might also have a do-it-yourself Champagne buffet, where people can add the elements of their choice (like fruit juices, flavored sugar cubes, garnishes, etc.) to create Champagne cocktails.

Mood: like sipping champagne while riding a beach cruiser down the boardwalk
Palette: white, green, turquoise

Board #91 | Pick More Daisies

4 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

I have been saving up images for this board for awhile, but I couldn’t seem to get it just right. I’m pretty happy with this one though. A little simple sunshine for the ridiculous amount of snow we’re getting. My good friend, Kate, said daisies were her favorite flower until she met peonies, but maybe this board will win her over again.

Mood: sunny, simple and sweet
Palette: yellow, green, white
