Purple Geode Wedding

Check out this beauty! Usually I make my inspiration boards out of a random mix of pictures that I find, well, who knows where? But this time, I just had to capture the essence of one wedding. I mean, how could I mess with the awesomeness of such of wedding by not keeping it intact?

I don't think I've ever seen a wedding quite like this one. It was designed completely around geodes (the pretty purple rocks–for any of you who didn't know what I was talking about).  All of the elements of this wedding contain some type of crystal rock (the jewelry, the place settings, even the rock candy), or mimic the look of the beautiful rocks (the ombre cake, flowers). I really just can't say much more about the genius of this. It's such a unique idea. And the purple and goldish-yellow color palette–who would have thought it could look this awesome?

Purple, Purple and more Purple

Since purple is my favorite color, it comes as a surprise to me that I have yet to make a purple inspiration board! (Seriously, what is wrong with me?!) So, here it is. A beautiful, bright, cheery, drool-worthy purple-inspired wedding. Because there are so many different shades of purple out there, it was hard for me to focus on just a couple shades. But, I feel like most brides opt for a deep, dark, plum-ish purple for their wedding (myself, included). So, here I am to show you that bright purple can be pretty too! And elegant. And completely appropriate for a classy wedding. I'm seriously re-considering the shade of purple at my own wedding now. Dang me! I am my own worst enemy :)

How about you? Is purple of any shade making an appearance at your wedding?
