Inspiration 219: Modern Rustic

After spotting this wedding, I thought a modern rustic board was definitely necessary!  I love how the modern, clean lines pop against the rustic elements of this board.  I think the bridesmaids in a LBD really bring a modern touch too.   For this board I kept with a mainly black and white color palette with a few pops of green!

Real Wedding: Sarah & Brian's Elegant Black and Green Wedding

I have another real wedding to share with you today!  Sarah and Brian's wedding certainly portrays elegance, especially the long black bridesmaid's dresses.  I love the fun pop of lime green to spice things up a bit.  All of the black and white photographs that Linda captured are amazing too!

Alternative Wednesday 20: Belted

My new obsession:  belts on bridal gowns!  And I don't mean "sashes" I mean for real belts.  Whether it's a sweet white style, a rustic brown addition or a more modern black belt... I love them all.

Alternative Wednesday #19: Skirts for Bridesmaids!

If you want to give your  bridesmaids a modern look that they can wear again (and probably again and again and again...)-- dress them in stylish skirts!  It is also an affordable option with endless choices as far as colors, patterns and styles.  You can create a fun and flirty look, a classy look or a preppy look... the sky's the limit!

Monday Funday 16- Skylines and Rooftops: a (500) Days of Summer Wedding

(500) Days of Summer is my favorite movie, and when I saw this (500) Days of Summer wedding shoot on Sarah Yates blog I knew I was going to make a board inspired by it!  For the wedding gown, I went with something short with a blue bow to reflect the dress Summer wore to the wedding in the movie.  I love that at the shoot they incorporated a pancake buffet, so yummy sounding.  How about blue printed dresses like the one Summer wore at her rooftop party for your bridesmaids?  And don't forget the skylines and chalkboards!

Real Wedding: Michelle & Gilberto's Red and Black Punk Inspired Christmas Wedding

I have a fun wedding for you today!  This wedding was submitted to me from Two Bright Lights by Sarah Christine Photography and I thought there were a bunch of great details to share with you.  I like how they incorporated both Christmas details (they were married December 19th) and punk details but kept the punk details more to the reception.  Except for the chucks that the bride and all her girls wore!  I really like how they incorporated pine leaves into the bouquet and boutonniere as well.  And that bathtub shot is super cute!

some fun details:

Engagement Inspiration: Nicole & Greg's Romantic Urban Los Angeles Engagement Shoot

Inspiration 192: Pop Punk Pink

I felt like posting something bright and fun tonight!  I went with a bright raspberry pink and diamond board with a few punk inspired details.  Like the bridesmaids in pink fishnets and the groom in skinny leg pants, chucks and suspenders.  This was definitely a fun board to make!

Monday Funday 14: Safari Style

On My Fair Wedding I saw David Tutera create a safari themed wedding, which I thought was fun!  To keep this from being too over the top I kept the color palette to khaki, black and white.  I love the animal print shoes, the safari style bridesmaids dress and the get away jeep in this board.

Favorite Photo Friday 24: My Sailor

My boyfriend is away for almost two weeks and although I'm sure that it's nothing like having someone in the military, I miss him terribly!  Anyway, I love this cute vintage engagement shoot.  It is just so sweet!  Check out the rest of the images here.

Theme Thursday 30: Elegant Black & White Polka Dot Anemone Wedding

Anemones are such fun flowers, they are great for a polka dot wedding because they look like giant polka dots themselves!  I went a little more elegant on this board by keeping the polka dots in the details and having the bridesmaids in black.  I think the addition of guinea hen feather hair pieces would be a great way to add polka dots to the bridal party in a sophisticated way.  And that's what I think this board portrays, a fun but sophisticated wedding with visually interesting details.

Week in Review: Princess Nikolaos, 13-19 February

Here's what Tatiana wore from 13-19 February:

1.  a, b and c) in Vanity Fair (Spain). What's up with the leafy bits around the neck in 1a, huh?
2. a and b) Attending Samantha Cameron's reception for London Fashion Week at 10 Downing Street, 18 February. As per usual, I care only about the shoes, which are hot enough I'm willing to overlook the red bra peeking out from under the dress in 2a. You know I love Tatiana, but it has to be said: tone down the posing, please! You're at 10 Downing Street, not on the runway.

Best and Worst of the Week

Well, ball gowns always win, so 1b gets the week from me. (What a gorgeous pic, right?) I usually expect photoshoots to be styled to the top, which is why I am extra confused by 1c. Long sleeved shirt under a not-vest not-shirt contraption. No thank you.

Alternative Wednesdays #14- Chunky Statement Necklaces

I am a jewelery whore, and I love big, chunky necklaces!  I especially love the way they look on brides.  It's a fun way to incorporate your color palette into your outfit and show a bit more personality.
