This board is different from any I have shared so far and to be honest I was a little concerned that choosing such bright colors may turn out looking tacky or overdone; but, they didn't. I love how this board brings such modern whimsy yet remains simple and elegant. It serves as a great reminder to make your wedding day your own. It doesn't have to fit into a particular mold to be beautiful and with the right choices and careful planning anything can be achieved.

 Here are some of the elements that were used in planning this board, use them to make this look your own:

Colors: Citrus Fruit are the inspiration Tangerine Orange, Grapefruit Pink, Lemon Yellow, and Lime Green with some softer green you would find in mint

Elements: Citrus Fruits, Ribbon, Bold Geometric Shapes, Watercolor

 Flowers:Yellow Poppy, Leucadendron, Spray Rose, Poppy, Ranunculus, Gerbera Daisy, Tulip

 Fabric: Chiffon, Cotton, Satin, Velvet

Favor Ideas: Fruit Flavored Sodas in Glass Bottles, Mini Lemon Loafs wrapped in bright bakers twine

 Sometimes the most calming and beautiful sight is a winter sky. I love to watch as the blue sky is gently, almost artistically, sprinkled with wisps of white and pink. It relaxes the soul and frees the mind to watch silently as nature slowly creates a masterpiece.

That is the inspiration behind this board: to fashion a tender, feminine wedding environment that focuses on the purpose and meaning of the wedding rather than the event itself. An environment that invites the wedding party and those attending to embrace the beauty around them. 

This look has the slightest hint of an English Garden wedding and could easily be adapted, to achieve that look, with the addition of tea pots and beautiful vintage place settings. The addition of more colorful roses and flowers, such as pink and yellow, would also add to the English Garden theme.

  Here are some suggested ways to make this look your own.

Colors: Shades of blue ranging from Navy to Light Blue, Creams and Whites, with a tiny touch of pink

Elements: Greenery, Garlands, Linen, Antique Silver, Pale Wood

 Flowers: English Ivy, David Austin Roses (Patience, The Generous Gardener, Windermere, English Climbing Roses)

 Fabric: Lace, Tulle, Velvet, and Linen

Favor Ideas: Velvet Clutches or Hand Crafted Velvet Notebooks

 All of the hustle and bustle of the Holiday season has left me deeply desiring some quiet time. It seems that with the end of the year drawing near, I desire some dedicated moments for reflection and long for some time to dream.

When I consider the neutrals of this inspiration board and think of a beautiful wedding that could be born from it, I imagine that it, too, would be a beautiful time of reflection and anticipation. Reflection over the path that has brought you to this special moment in time, and anticipation toward what your future together holds.

If a delicate and comfy wedding, such as the one imagined in this board is what you desire for your once-in-a-lifetime day, here are some suggested ways to make this look your very own:

Colors: Grays, Light Pinks and Blushes, Lavender Gray
 Elements: Crystal Glassware, Mercury Glass, Satin Ribbon

 Flowers: Julia Baby Garden Roses, Bouvardia, Pink Hypericum Berries, Tuberose, Lisianthus, Ranunculus, Silver Brunia

 Fabric: Chiffon and Satin

Happy planning and may you have a very, Merry Christmas!
