Board #575 | Old Hollywood Glamour

11 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: vintage Hollywood glam
Palette: blush pink, pearl white, Oscar gold, tuxedo black

The inspiration for this board started with the fabulous label by Michael Hester – the colors and the vintage feel of it had me imagining a glamorous wedding with an Old Hollywood vibe. Champagne coupes, a classic tux, a cascade bouquet, and an old school convertible channel a different era. Gold foil letterpress, a blush pink dress, and Ted Muehling’s candlesticks bring it all up to date. And playful details like bags of popcorn and popcorn ball favors hint at the Hollywood theme without being too obvious. Even the curtains draped over archways echo what you might find in an old movie theater…

Board #574 | Glamorous Gold and Blue

10 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: glamorous elegance with a Deco twist
Palette: candle white, gold leaf, navy blue

I started this inspiration board with the idea to create something entirely gold and white, but when I came across the Charbonnel et Walker box of chocolates, with it’s gold edge and navy blue lettering, I immediately switched gears to incorporate navy blue into the palette. And I love it! I chose to use navy as a simple accent, rather than a dominant color, and I think it works wonderfully to temper what might otherwise be an overwhelming amount of gold.

Board #573 | Silver and Sugar Plum

8 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: festive and modern
Palette: silver, snow white, sugar plum pink

I know it’s not quite December yet, but I just couldn’t help myself – as soon as Thanksgiving is over, I listen almost exclusively to Christmas music, and I start planning my decorations and making gifts. It’s my very favorite time of year! Anyway, I thought I would ease into the season with a palette that’s perfect for winter with or without a holiday theme. Red would be the expected accent color here; going with a deep, rich pink instead is playful and still totally festive. Glitter stars, silver ornaments, and mercury glass votives all give the effect of indoor snow. Magenta cyclamen would be perfectly seasonal, or you could stick with all white flowers, and some greenery here and there would really add that extra something.

Board #572 | Persimmon & Gray

7 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: sophisticated rustic
Palette: persimmon orange, shades of gray, porcelain

A palette of mostly gray and cream, with pops of persimmon orange, feels so perfect for this time of year when the weather is colder, the skies are gray, and we warm up our homes with family and friends and delicious food. Equal parts rustic (pumpkins and persimmons) and elegant (Vera Wang and Frances Palmer pottery), this palette would work for late autumn or throughout the winter. I’d also add lots and lots of candlelight.

Board #571 | Warm Rosy Glow

7 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Mood: warm autumn romance
Palette: rose gold, caramel, cocoa, cream

Pink is such a versatile color – though it might be an obvious choice for a spring wedding, it looks lovely for fall when paired with shades of brown and gold. Fall leaves and pink roses are the perfect pairing of rustic and romantic, and gold foil on kraft paper is equal parts elegant and down-to-earth. And no matter how fancy the wedding, there’s always room for a little playfulness, like caramel corn snacks in striped paper bags.
