summer picnic wedding

summer picnic wedding inspiration

This summer picnic wedding inspiration board is a breath of fresh air and perfect for the slightly offbeat but definitely chic bride. The wildflower field, vintage touches, summer hat instead of a veil, and bright yellows paired with a subtle grapefruit/blush color are all details to adore and welcome the new season with! Side note: if you’re [...]

turquoise, peach, and yellow

Turquoise, peach, and yellow wedding ideas

I can’t believe that this invitation + wedding inspiration series is drawing to a close today! It all started when I chose four bouquets and sent them to Behold Designz so that they could use them to create custom wedding invitations just for us. It was always such a joyful day when Lily sent me the [...]

mad men

retro tropical mad men inspired wedding inspiration board

Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet who hasn’t watched Mad Men (true story). BUT I’ve seen enough pictures of Mad Men themed weddings to know that it has a total 60s vibe that everyone (myself included) is loving right now. So – this wedding inspiration board is what happens when you [...]

yellow and slate

yellow and slate grey wedding inspiration

This yellow and slate grey wedding inspiration board has a quirky vibe that I’m really loving. White and green mix really well with the ever so popular grey & yellow color combination. The bridal bouquet in the upper left hand corner is the second bouquet that I sent Behold Designz for our inspiration + invitation [...]

citrus

Citrus wedding inspiration

This ‘pick-me-up’ color palette of lemon, orange, and grapefruit is perfect for a summer wedding! Mix these lovely hues with neutral undertones and whites to really let them shine. One detail in this inspiration board that I’m particularly loving is the mismatched bridesmaids dresses. If you’re going to go with mismatched bridesmaids adding a common [...]

kenyan elopement

African elopement wedding inspiration board

As you may have guessed from this Kenyan elopement inspiration board I’m really intrigued by the idea of eloping somewhere exotic to get married. (Be sure to check out this post before doing so though since it has some pros and cons you should definitely consider!) But what I’ve become even more intrigued by is [...]

autumn garden wedding

autumn / fall garden wedding inspiration board

Autumn garden weddings are simply beautiful. The colors in this inspiration board are warm, romantic, and totally reminiscent of the fall season. Plus, I love brides who step out of the box and choose a wedding dress other than white and the one in this inspiration board is perfect. It could also work for a [...]

sunset

beach wedding inspiration board with warm sunset colors

If there is one thing (aside from rainbows) that we get a lot of out here in Hawaii it’s beautiful, jaw-dropping sunsets. The colors of a recent sunset that I watched off of my lanai the other evening (and sadly failed to photograph) inspired this wedding inspiration board. The warm pinks, peaches, and soft yellows [...]

the velveteen rabbit

light yellow wedding inspiration board

I’m not sure what it was when I thought of one of my favorite childhood books, The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams, but the color ‘light yellow’ immediately sprang to mind. I think it has something to do with the beautiful original illustrations that that book has by William Nicholson or the fact that my [...]

12 days of christmas: 7 swans a swimming

light and pale yellow wedding inspiration

Day 7 of our 12 Days of Christmas series brings us ‘swans-a-swimming.’ One trap that I’ve seen some brides fall into is that they can take their inspiration source a little too literally. At first glance, this wedding inspiration board doesn’t read ‘swans’ – but when you take a closer you looks you see a [...]

lego wedding

a lego wedding

A lego inspired wedding is a fun and cute way to tie the knot. I wouldn’t recommend going totally overboard (as in constructing an arch to get married under out of legos), but lego themed touches here and there like on your wedding invitations, the groom and groomsmen’s boutonnieres, and atop the cake are darling. [...]

sunshine inside (real wedding)

You’d never guess that Sunny and Jake were supposed to have an outdoor wedding, but then came the rain! This adorable Texas couple made a few changes and rolled with it – that’s the right kind of attitude! Jake and Sunny’s happiness shine through these photos regardless of the weather. Sunny chose a bright yellow [...]
