Oh Inspiration

I have talked about Inspiration Boards before, so I won't go on and on about them, but suffice it to say, I love them! I still haven't figured out how to make my own beyond squares of all the same size in Picasa...if anyone knows please leave a comment. I probably just need to try harder to find out, but my attempts haven't yet been successful.


So our new color scheme is poppy, aqua, and white. If you have visited the website, you already have figured this one out. However, it is somewhat difficult to find a pre-made board that I really feel exemplifies what I want for the wedding. So - here are two. If I could combine various elements of both, I think that would be close to the look I want to have. I think.

Inspiration Boards

When a modern bride is planning her wedding, she often turns to the internet for information, shopping, tips, and inspiration. My personal inspiration originally came from an idea Christopher had about our Denver-wedding-theme (a grand Hollywood theater gala).

Obviously, that theme is out the window because we are now headed to MEXICO.

HOWEVER -- I still desire to be inspired about my wedding and the feeling that it will instill in my guests. The 'theme' for our wedding really is 'beachy elegance' or 'beach glam', and I would very much like it to reflect some of the non-tourist culture of Mexico. I'll be shopping for items that will go into guests' welcome bags in Playa del Carmen the day we arrive (if all goes well), because I'd like guests to feel a bit more of what Mexico has to offer (than just the resort property).


So, I, like many others, have turned to the internet for inspiration. For anyone who doesn't know, there are these absolutely cool websites solely devoted to wedding style.

<-- I made this one!

My two faves are Snippet & Ink and Style Me Pretty. I found so many amazing ideas on these sites, I thought I would share them here too! (click to enlarge)
