Orange, Pink & Yellow Wedding

Last week, we (Fort Wayne, IN) had numerous days of record breaking hot weather. Having 80 degree temperatures is unheard of here in March (it's usually only in the 40's!) – it was quite the treat. Everyone got their shorts out and tank tops on and acted like it was the dead of summer. But, unfortunately, it was too good to last. It was like an awful tease, and now it's got me craving the warm weather more than normal. To cheer myself up and set me back into summer mode, I decided to create a board that just screams WARM.

These bright yellows, oranges and pinks are so vibrant, they just make me happy. This would be an absolutely stunning wedding fully of energy, excitement and lots and lots of dancing. Perfect for the bride who isn't afraid to make a bold statement. I adore those orange shoes, love that big yellow bow, and believe it or not, the woman in the bright orange dress is actually the BRIDE! How awesome is that? I'll have to feature her on an unconventional dress post....she def. deserves it with that beauty!

Doesn't this board make you think of summer? Are you dreaming of warmer days as much as I am? (Booo to you lucky ducks in warm areas!)

Valentine's Wedding

A Valentine's Day wedding without a hint of red in sight? Gasp! But, isn't it gorgeous? Sometimes the whole red & white or red & pink combo on Valentine's Day can be a little predictable. Plus, for a wedding, it can be a little over-the-top. I don't think a Valentine wedding has to be (or should be) so cliche. Instead, go for something more subtle, and far more romantic! Lace, pearls, bows, soft pinks, and greens are way more tasteful, not to mention more beautiful.

To make it feel more like Valentine's Day, why not add some SUBTLE heart details into the decorating. I stress the word "subtle" because that's the part that's absolutely crucial. You don't want your wedding to end up looking like a fourth grade classroom during a V-day party. In small doses, however, hearts will help your guests get the point (without hitting them over the head with V-day craziness), and you'll have some adorable details that they'll appreciate. And if your wedding isn't exactly ON Valentines day, this look will still help you pull off the V-day feel without going overboard. What if your wedding isn't anywhere near Valentine's day? Leave out the heart details and just focus on the color palette – it'd make a fantastic spring wedding.

Pink, Peach & Silver Wedding

It may be on the dark and dreary side for many of us this time of year, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy a little spring inspiration. In fact, we probably need it now more than ever! This pink, peach and silver color combo is so fresh and girly. I love the way the pink and peach contrast just enough to make a subtle yet pretty statement. A touch of silver gives a little bit of excitement and pizazz to the whole look. I can imagine this gorgeous wedding in an elegant ball room or a rustic barn – it'd work equally well both ways!

Pink & Mauve

It is no surprise to anybody who reads my blog that I love romantic color palettes. I love pretty, soft color combos that just ooze "wedding." This pink and mauve inspiration board is certainly no exception. I think the soft pinks and mauves are gorgeous, especially paired with the brighter pops of color that keep this girly palette from being too wishy-washy. It's fun, whimsical, and perfect for any time of year. Add some darker pink and mauve to the mix to take it from a more summery/spring look to something that would be gorgeous in fall or winter!
