Since the Kitschy Key West post was such a hit, I thought it would be fun to post some more regionally-inspired wedding boards. I’ve reworked one of my very first inspiration boards for today’s post. Instead of the obvious desert reds and oranges, this southwestern wedding board draws its inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe’s trumpet flower (and it’s name from Jamie’s blog) with sage green and hints of turquoise against a backdrop of neutral sand and chalk white.

Mood: cool desert chic
Palette: sand, chalk, sage, hints of turquoise

    I love the use of hens-n-chicks! They’re so cheap but still fun… I love the idea!
