I am excited by the beautiful inspiration boards by Kathryn at Snippet & Ink. They remind me of the pages of flowers I create for each of my brides - except hers are a little more stylishly arranged. I create these flower pages for brides to place in their wedding binder with their detailed wedding flower quote. I find that it helps them visualize the color combinations we talk about in our initial meeting. Here is what one of my pages typically looks like:
I tried my hand at an inspiration board. This board is based on Kate & Aaron’s Wedding blog, which I have enjoyed reading. Kate has already selected some of the details for her wedding including the maid and matron of honor dresses in a spiced wine color, bridesmaids’ dresses in turquoise, and a wheat colored suit for Aaron, the groom.
Row 1: Spiced Wine dress from Jcrew, chocolate cosmo, Schwartzwalder mini calla, Cool Water rose
Row 2: chocolate artichoke, peacock feather, turquoise dress from Jcrew, light blue Bella Donna delphinium
Row 3: Recreations urn in wheat, suit in wheat from Jcrew, turquoise tie, french branched pussy willow
Row 4: Lemoncello spray roses, green hydrangea, Super Green roses, Lime Green eryngium
This cake was truly the highlight of the reception. Eighteen red Freedom roses and ten stems of Scarlet spray roses adorned the cake. The look was completed with the petals of a dozen more red roses. The red ribbon accent around each layer was provided by the baker.
