Inspiration 206: Bohemian Like You

Sorry, I just had to make the title that... I love that song! Anyway, this board has a bit of a bohemian feel to it. I incorporated feathers and a monochromatic pink palette to create this look, and I think it's lovely. I drew the color palette from the awesome ombre (means shaded in French) cake and added a cranberry pink to the flowers to really make a statement.

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.

It's in the Details: Feathers

I have this headband that has pheasant feathers on the side and it makes me feel fancy when I wear it. (It also gives me a headache, but it hurts to be beautiful, right?) I also love feather details incorporated into weddings. Using feathers can easily be overdone, so this detail works best when incorporated sparingly. A feather on your wedding invitation suite and then perhaps found at each place setting would be lovely. Or feathers used in some of the florals and also in the bride's hairpiece is a nice combination. However you do it, using feathers can add a bit of fun and fancy without taking yourself too seriously. And depending on the type of feather (peacock, pheasant, guinea, etc.) you can incorporate your color palette as well.
