It’s funny how a sweet song, a scrap of fabric, a special color, or a favorite place can set your wedding planning in motion.
I spotted this stunning photograph from an Atlanta wedding, designed by the talented team of Amy Osaba.
This wedding had an Old Hollywood inspired travel theme, but all it reminded me of was the raspy and soulful, “Come Away with Me” by Norah Jones.
You never know where you’ll find inspiration, or when it will find you.
Open your eyes, ears, and heart to be inspired.
Summer lovin’ for a bride and groom with a camp side wedding, it is a blast. There are a lot of variations on the “summer wedding” but I really like the sweetness of this inspiration board.
This wedding, set in a bucolic outdoor setting, is dotted with DIY touches, kraft paper invitation suites, twinkle lights from the stars above, twine wrapped florals, a canteen that would any camper smile, and a bridal party in classic gray and green.
What do you think? Could you say I do at Camp Happily Ever After?
Is there nothing more festive than Champagne? It’s seductive and whimsical, it’s bubbly and sparkly, it’s celebratory and grand. Just like this wedding inspiration board.
Champagne Wedding Inspiration
There is no greater time to lavish yourself, your friends and family with a little extra sparkle. The Champagne toast, or Prosecco, or sparkling water is a mainstay in the wedding reception and so why not carry that moment throughout the entire reception.
This inspiration board has a softened neutral color palette of blushes, sages, creams and butter play beautifully with the sparkle and effervescence of gold. As a play on the whimsy that Champagne often induces the traditional wedding mainstays are made playful with details like clever prints, rock candy in Champagne flutes, delightful snacks, glittering bows and fluffy flower girl tutus.
What do you think, would you be inspired by a glass of Champagne for your wedding?
I have been known to try to make an entrance, and well, friends, if there is ever a day to do it, it is your wedding day. Let’s be real here, on that day you are the star and the star should arrive in a pretty major way.
The dress, veil, glam hair and makeup certainly help, but the aisle set’s the stage. Here are some of my favorite settings to make that entrance for the beginning of “Here Comes the Bride…”

Dum, Dum, da Dum…. Which style would you be wishing for?
We’re quickly approaching fall and that means for autumn brides the planning is down to the details: choosing the just right color, for their just perfect day. I am finding a lot of inspiration in the heavily saturated tones from the Fall runways. A major standout is shades of red.
I have assembled an inspiration board with colors based on the beautiful colors of a plum, from the inside of light golden yellows and oranges to the outside skin of deep red.
If I am may say so myself, I love this inspiration board. I love that it is natural and earthy without being “granola” – not that there is anything wrong with that. It playfully dances around the traditional color palette of autumn leaves, but has a sense of elegance and sophistication even though there is a kaleidoscope of colors at play.
So, what do you think? Does this make you excited for fall?
This weekend was “The Reality Starlet/Professional Athlete Wedding of the Year”. I say that in quotes because I truly think, cheesy as it may be, that on your wedding day, when you are the bride, your own wedding is always the “wedding of the year” with any hope, it is the “wedding of your lifetime.” With that said, I will watch the E! Wedding Special in October.
In the previews I really liked Kim’s two-toned theme and it inspired me, with a slight variation, instead of black and ivory I chose black and blush.
A Wedding in Blush
Two thoughts: I think sometimes people see a pink wedding as being very specifically feminine, which is easy to imagine, but I think when paired with black and pared down in simple lines, and clean shapes it is actually a very lovely compromise, just like marriage should be.
So, what do you think? Could you have a wedding in just two colors?
My standout favorite in the color category was the Oscar de la Renta dress with a sage belt and cotton candy like confection wrapping the model’s shoulders. It has since inspired a Green and White Wedding Board with a focus on texture, color and a bit of whimsy. Green tulle calls for whimsy!

This past week was Bridal Market in New York, my invitation was lost in the mail but thanks to the various people I follow on Twitter and Brides.com I had a virtual front row seat. A few trends really stuck out to me, and the first was the presence of color in a sea of white.

I am not a big drinker, but I love a bar. I love a cookie dunking, cheese cutting, drink making, ice cream cone stacking, pie slicing bar. I love it so much that for our wedding I recruited family to make our favorite cookies which were artfully displayed in beautiful glass domes and trays.
