Engagement Inspiration: T & Jesamy's Sweet Military Engagement Shoot

L Photography shared this super cute military engagement shoot with me and just by looking at the pictures you can tell how in love Jesamy and T are!  I love how they found a mural that provided the perfect patriotic backdrop for some of their engagement photos.  And how sweet is it that T proposed in the same spot that Jesamy's dad proposed to her mother?!?  So cute, anyway... on to the pictures!

Inspiration 213: Navy, Lime and Orange-y Red

I have a pretty requested board to share today!  The bride who requested this board wants to use a navy and lime color palette with pops of orange-y red.  She wants to keep most of the orange-y red in the flowers, and I think these poppies are great. Love those navy berries too, they would definitely help tie the other wedding colors into the bouquet.

Inspiration 205: Bold Blue and Gray Wedding

I just realized that I've done a lot of gray and yellow and gray and pink boards but I haven't done any, or at least only very few, boards that paired blue and gray.  So I decided one definitely needed to happen!  For this board I combined bold cobalt blue with a slate gray and a few hints of apple green.

Inspiration 202: Spunky Cobalt and Coral

I am really liking bright colors and the way they make softer colors pop.  Cobalt blue is a great shade that can work for any season depending what you pair it with.  For this board I added coral, this palette would work for spring, summer and early fall.
ps- Coral peonies are just so swoon worthy!

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!

Inspiration 189: Cotton Clouds

I love the idea of adding natural cotton elements to a wedding!  It can show up anywhere from the boutonnieres to the reception decor to the cake.  And it reminds me of a beautiful sunny day with big fluffy clouds!  For the color palette I went with light sky blue, natural white, birch, khaki and chocolate brown.
