Board #147 | Valentine

4 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

I have stacks and stacks of typical Valentine images: doily envelopes, heart-shaped sugar cubes, chocolate chocolate chocolate and pink pink pink. And I could not bring myself to make that kind of board. I have no problem with sweet handmade paper goods, and you know I don’t have a problem with chocolate. But to be perfectly honest, Valentine’s Day isn’t really my thing. I prefer my love and romance year-round, expressed in small ways daily and surprising ways unexpectedly. But that’s just me, and I knew I couldn’t get away with ignoring Valentine’s Day, of all things, on a wedding blog. So here is a chic, modern, romantic inspiration board for you for Valentine’s Day. May you give and receive lots of love today, and everyday.

Mood: chic romance
Palette: ivory, champagne, black, red

Board #146 | Hamptons by the Sea

5 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Not too long ago, Erika over at the fabulous and inspiring Urban Grace Interiors featured Snippet & Ink on her blog. While she and I were emailing back and forth, she thought of a fun challenge for me: create an inspiration board based on a fabric sample. So here is the fabric sample…
…and here is the board. A slightly beachy, slightly nautical, very preppy Hamptons wedding in navy and green.

Mood: preppy seaside
Palette: navy, green, white

Board #145 | Kelly’s Vivacious Wedding

5 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Vivacious is the best word I can think to describe Kelly. She is one of those people who has this energy that just makes you want to be around her. She is fun, outgoing and hilarious, so I think pink is a fantastic color choice for her wedding. I also thought I’d include some fun details, like a stack of donuts in place of a cake, and sparklers as a send off.

Mood: fun, vibrant
Palette: shades of pink, ivory

Board #144 | Paris, je t’aime

We finished up last week with a French flea market wedding, and we’re starting this week with what I imagine a chic Paris wedding might look like. Mostly white, with some black and gold. The Greek island, Italian courtyard, French styled boards are making me think I want a European vacation…

Mood: chic, sophisticated
Palette: white, black, gold
