Real Wedding: Amrit & Daniel's Indian Wedding

I love how vibrantly colorful Indian weddings are!  In fact, most ethnic weddings are so bright and fun.  There are a lot of great images to share from this wedding submitted by Katje Hempel Photography, I am especially fond of the henna shots.

Theme Thursday 33: Backyard Mexican Fiesta

I am having a rough week and really wanted to create something bright and fun, and right away I thought- fiesta!  So I created a colorful and semi-DIY board to share with you.  I love the use of paper flowers, the cute bridesmaids dresses and most of all the idea of a margarita bar.  Yum!  But my top favorite element of this board is the basket of flowers for your guests' hair.  How sweet, fun and easy is that?

Inspiration 193: Peacock Blue & Plum Fall Wedding

The bride who requested this board wanted to work with a peacock blue, plum and silver color palette for her fall wedding.  Since her fiance is from Hong Kong she wanted to incorporate his culture by adding deep red which is important in the Chinese culture.  I think red works beautifully with the peacock blue and plum colors she originally wanted to use!  For this board I also incorporated an Asian inspird cake to honor her fiance's culture.

Inspiration 191: Parisian Spring Wedding

Oh Paris, you really inspire me.  I saw this lovely this lovely Paris inspired table set-up and sweet French macaroon cake and wanted to make a Paris inspired board.  I've made a vintage Parisian board before, but this time I went with a lavender and green spring board!  Also, I think a crepe station would be a great and delicious way to end the night.

Inspiration #138 & #139- Which Will They Choose?

I am getting back into making requested boards again! The bride who requested these boards is deciding between two very different themes. The first is a vintage sand and star theme. For this board I went with a aqua, teal, midnight blue, sand and gold color palette. I really, really like the way this board turned out! The second theme is Rasta. Which is totally cool and definitely fun! I went with the Rasta color scheme of red, yellow and green. I think it would be awesome to have a Rasta band at the reception too.

Theme Thursday #11- Time for a fiesta!

This turned out to be a very fun board!  I thought tiffany, pink and red would be a great color combo for a Mexican fiesta and went from there.  I especially love the passport holders in the top right corner.

Inspiration #53- Spanish Style Red and Gold

Another requested board! This bride is having a Spanish themed wedding with a gold and red color scheme. I love the bride with the fan and the ruffly bridesmaids dress. Of course I had to include traditional Spanish mantilla veil as well.
