Preppy Pineapple Inspiration Board | Snippet & Ink

I have sort of a thing for pineapples. I do love how yummy they are, but I also love them as graphic and visual elements – and I love that they’re a symbol of hospitality. What a perfect motif for a wedding! Instead of going beachy, I wanted this inspiration board to feel a little unexpected, so I gave it a sort of vintage preppy twist. And I think it would make for a pretty fun party, if I do say so myself!

Board #579 | Pink and Yellow Spring Wedding

3 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: sweet spring luncheon
Palette: pink sugar, butter yellow, white

Today is my 30th birthday! Ryan and my mom had the most wonderful birthday party for me over the weekend, and today I’m treating myself to a prenatal massage. Plus, everything in the world is blooming outside! Every year I feel like Spring is a birthday gift to me – that probably sounds silly, but I can’t help it. There’s something about wisteria and daffodils popping out of nowhere that says celebrate. Anyway, all of that is a very long introduction to this inspiration board, which pulls in some of my favorite spring pastels – buttery yellow and sweet peachy pink – all against a backdrop of clean white and spring green. Rhubarb plays up a mojito cocktail, Peter Rabbit makes an appearance, and potted flowers act as both centerpieces and favors. And a bride wearing blush pink and a giant tulle bow is fun anytime of year!

Board #578 | Vintage Botanical Jasmine Vine

2 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: vintage garden romance
Palette: vine green, parchment paper, pink jasmine

I love the way jasmine vine grows- completely unashamed, it takes over everything and fills the air with perfume. Maybe it’s because the flowers are little, but I’m surprised that I’ve never seen a wedding with florals centered around jasmine – both flower and vine. So I decided to create one in an inspiration board! There’s a bit of a vintage botanical/apothecary motif here, which you could certainly abandon or enhance, depending on the overall look you’re going for. Though I think with jasmine, it’s impossible not to have “romantic” be a descriptor.

Board #577 | Pink Toile & Red Roses

3 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: floral romance
Palette: rose red, blush pink, cream

We’ve filled the last two weeks with chocolate, chocolate, chocolate (with more chocolate to come tomorrow!), but what’s Valentine’s Day without red roses? This week’s inspiration board incorporates that classic romantic flower, as well as sweet pink and red toile, for an ultra-feminine look that’s both girly and sophisticated. An indulgent theme, but with lots of crisp white, there’s no reason it has to look overdone. Need a suggestion for favors? I’m thinking mini bottles of the Daylesford rose Frizzante. And some chocolate…

Board #576 | French Chocolate, French Blue

9 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: romantic, decadent
Palette: French blue, chocolate and cream

I’m not sure if it’s pregnancy cravings, or Valentine’s Day coming up, but it’s safe to say I have chocolate on the brain these days. If you’re anything like me, then you’ll enjoy today’s inspiration board, which is nothing but chocolate. Well, chocolate and cream and sophisticated French blue.

When I first started creating inspiration boards, brown was a ubiquitous accent color (pink and brown, green and brown, blue and brown). But I think it’s safe to say that chocolate never goes out of style, and that when done well, this color palette is perfectly timeless.
