Board #490 | Poppy & Mint

19 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

For the third inspiration board in my mini red, white and blue series, I thought something a little retro and sassy would be fun. How about a ruffled tea length dress and a blue birdcage veil for the bride? And lots of fun patterns in bold colors, on bridesmaid dresses, table runners and letterpress coasters. For more inspiration in this color scheme, check out Joy’s pretty post on “a medley of mint and tomato.”

Mood: retro, bold
Palette: mint blue green, poppy red

Board #489 | A Summer Picnic

9 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Another relaxed summer wedding inspiration board for you, with a touch of red, white and blue to continue this week’s color motif. And what’s more summery and Fourth-of-July than a picnic? Print save-the-dates or invites on brown paper lunch bags to give guests the idea of what’s to come. Set up a swing and some lawn games, and maybe decorate with some paper lanterns hung in the trees. And again, if this idea seems too informal for a wedding, it would be perfect for a welcome party or rehearsal picnic luncheon.

Mood: breezy summer picnic
Palette: brown, green, red, pale blue

Board #488 | Lobster Red and Blueberry Pie

9 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Yesterday was a perfect day here, and we enjoyed it by cooking out with some friends – I hope we’ll have lots more days like that this summer! This week, I thought I’d post some red, white and blue inspiration boards, and I’m starting with this laid back lobster boil wedding. Get your guests in the spirit with lobster bib save-the-dates. How to make things both relaxed and lovely? For table numbers, tie tags around galvanized buckets filled with flowers, and for place cards, write guests’ names on smooth stones. Serve up ice cream in paper cups with wooden spoons, and drinks with striped straws. Send guests home with lobster-shaped lollipops. And if this seems too casual for a wedding, how about a rehearsal dinner?

Mood: relaxed, preppy
Palette: driftwood, pale blue, lobster red
