Board #415 | Tumbleweed & Chili Pepper

0 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

I’m back in Austin – how could I resist a Tex Mex inspiration board! String up some party lights and papel picado, dump some ice and beer into big coolers or buckets, invite all the cowboys and cowgirls you know, and you’ve got the beginning of a great party…

Mood: hot and dusty
Palette: tumbleweed, chili pepper

Board #414 | Kraft Paper & Twine

0 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

What could be simpler than kraft paper and twine? They are two of my favorite materials – so simple, yet so substantial, and each with such great textures. Hence this inspiration board, with its neutral – yet textured – color scheme, and uncomplicated look that would work equally well in a minimalist urban loft, or in a rustic old barn.

Mood: minimal, neutral
Palette: white, twine, kraft paper

Board #413 | Black and Pearl

18 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

You know that faintest hint of blush that shows up on some pearls? That’s what I think of when I see this palest pink. Pair it with just enough strokes of black to make it edgy – fun for a sassy wedding palette!

Oh, and if you want even more color inspiration, head over to The Bride’s Cafe for my third color board guest post…

Mood: sugar with an edge
Palette: black paint, pearl blush

Board #412 | Day Trip

13 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

As summer starts winding down, I keep thinking about road trips. They are one of my very favorite things, and I think the whole feel of a summer road trip – or even just a quick day trip – would make for a lovely wedding or party. Set up a table outside, put some flowers in whatever container you have on hand, feed your guests and laugh. Sometimes less really is more.

Mood: summer road trip
Palette: meadow, oak, sepia, cream

Board #411 | Raspberry & Indigo

0 comments posted SEE MORE: Inspiration Boards

Happy Monday! I thought that this week I would play around a bit with the look of my inspiration boards, pulling from non-wedding sources for inspiration, and to creating boards that focused on a few really strong images. Hopefully today’s inspiration board does that. I absolutely love the palette here, as well as the textures, and I tried to choose images that were somewhat playful – that don’t take themselves too seriously. What do you think? Does an inspiration board like this still help you to get a sense of an event or a look?

Mood: playfully preppy, feminine whimsy
Palette: vanilla, raspberry, indigo
