Inspiration Board #38: Red & White Southern Charm Wedding

Monday, November 30th, 2009

red_white_plantation_wedding

I love the idea of a chic red and white wedding with Southern charm. I picture this wedding taking place at an old plantation, where sweet tea would be served as a welcome drink and fans would be handed out to guests to cool themselves. I would mix red and white checks and stripes on the tables for a charming homey look. Rocking chairs would be setup on the porch for guests to enjoy during cocktail hour. Heirloom family love letters would be put on display next to the guest book. Apple pie and red velvet cake would be served for dessert. And, of course, the bride would wear boots.

Inspiration Board #34: White & Wheat

Monday, August 24th, 2009

I love a wedding where wheat would be used for some of the decor for a late summer, early fall wedding. White, loose arrangements of flowers would be paired with wheat in the centerpieces, and only the finest artisan bread would be served.

Inspiration Board #30: Gold & Aqua

Monday, July 20th, 2009

This board’s inspiration was two-fold, but both images came from one of my favorite blogs, {this is glamorous}. I loved the photo of aqua glass which is just so delicate and pretty. Likewise, the still life of the gold shoes and accessories is just so perfectly glamorous. I picture this wedding having a delicate, timeless feeling throughout the event design.

Inspiration Board #22: Cherry Blossom & Taupe

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Since I got so many comments on the cherry blossom post I decided to base today’s board on the photo by Polly Wreford in the upper left corner. I picture this wedding taking place under the cherry blossom trees with refreshing pink lemonade for guests to sip on and the most adorable flower girls.
