Wedding Inspiration Boards, Styled Shoots, and Fashion
Fairy tale weddings are the epitome of romance. This particular inspiration board was inspired by the drawings from my favorite children’s book illustrator: Kinuko Y. Craft. Her drawings are pure magic and as a child I carried around her edition of The Twelve Dancing Princesses everywhere I went. I can still picture the exact image [...]
A Game of Thrones wedding is a fabulous idea if you’re a fan of the HBO series or the books by George R.R. Martin. But here’s the trick: you don’t have to take your source of inspiration literally! That’s just what inspiration is, it ignites a creative spark and you go from there. For this [...]
“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.” – A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh This Winnie the Pooh wedding inspiration shoot from Plum Jam Photography is such a treat (and it’s pretty much guaranteed to make you [...]
The story of Estella and Pip in Great Expectations is definitely one of my favorites and creating inspiration boards from my favorite books is how this blog got started. The entire story evokes a mysteriously romantic ‘cloudy skies’ sort of mood in me and it has romantic elements that just beg to be incorporated into [...]
Vintage book themed weddings are lovely – but they’re normally done in neutral and brown tones. Why not girlie it up a bit with pastels like in this wedding inspiration board? Pastel colors add an undeniably feminine and romantic vibe to your wedding and would be absolutely perfect for spring. Incorporating vintage books into your [...]
New Zealander Wendy wrote to me and let me know that she is headed off to Kuthaba Safari Lodge in South Africa for her cousin Ashleigh’s wedding – and Wendy is one of the bridesmaids! She wanted these inspiration boards to be a surprise for Ashleigh and Craig – isn’t that the sweetest thing?! Ashleigh [...]
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 [...]
So normally when you’re picturing your dream wedding, Les Miserables isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Bear with me though! Despite the somewhat bleak happenings in this fantastic novel by Victor Hugo (and is anyone else going to be first in line with me to see this movie in December?) the overall mood [...]
I cried and cried when I watched The Notebook (I’ll admit it, I’ve never read it). It’s so romantic! And for a southern wedding, I really can’t think of a sweeter theme to go with. photo credits: bouquet, blueberry waffle cream dessert, dress, white car < from Junebug Weddings, vintage bottle with pansies, chair with quilts, cake, tea cup plates, lace < via Green Wedding Shoes, vintage boat [...]
This southern gothic styled wedding inspiration board was created for Ashley of Blush Love Wed. She certainly threw me a challenge when she requested something based off the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which I (still!) haven’t read yet. I did some research and decided to go with a southern gothic [...]
It got pretty pink and girly around here yesterday with think pink so I thought we’d rough it up a bit with a Where the Wild Things Are wedding! This classic picture book by Maurice Sendak isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when one starts looking for wedding inspiration, but it would make [...]
Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy, is the (tragic – but you can ignore that bit for your wedding) love tale of the married Anna and the oh-so-handsome Count Vronsky. Despite the somewhat gruesome outcome of this story (I don’t want to spoil it here if you haven’t read it), it would make for a romantic [...]
