Modern Magnolia Wedding Ideas

Let’s celebrate Wedding Wednesday today with this modern magnolia infused wedding. I am absolutely crazy about this simplistically elegant wedding. The botanical accents scattered lightly throughout are a nice alternative to the traditional floral arrangements and décor.

Not only are the design elements in this week’s wedding idea board beautiful and affordable, but they are also fairly easy for a DIY bride to take on herself, should she choose to accept a challenge like this.

Here’s what I had in mind:

Honeycomb Summertime Wedding Ideas

A warm summer’s afternoon, with just the slightest breeze in the air, and the sweet smell of fresh honey wafting ever so slightly towards you. That’s the atmosphere I could see this week’s inspiration board thriving in. A bit eclectic. A bit untraditional. A splash of country chic. Those are just a few of the words that come to mind when I try to describe to you what I had in mind for this week’s idea board.

In a perfect word, a rustic farmers market on the edge of the country area with a fresh field of wildflowers would be the location where this celebration would take place. I think a local garden would do just fine too!

It’s Written in the Stars – Astronomy Themed Wedding

A few weeks ago I shared a party idea board for an under the stars backyard movie night. If you missed it, check it out here.

I absolutely loved the theme of the party, and just couldn’t stop thinking about how beautiful a wedding in a science museum or planetarium would be. Something under the stars, but without the bugs and heat. That was all I needed for inspiration – the next thing I knew I had found some fabulous inspirational images and compiled them into this idea board:

Extravagant Summer Wedding in Green Florals

This luxurious summer wedding I’ve dreamed up is one that I consider to be the top of the modern wedding vibe, but still keeps elegance and wow factors at the peak of your mind throughout the event.

This wedding not only has a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, with linens dramatically draped over the alter, but it also has 3 other stops it takes the guests to. After the ceremony – the guests head indoors for a cocktail hour, welcomed as they walk through the doors by strands of hanging orchids. After cocktail hour, they move out to a garden in a complete oasis of green. Green florals and silks are cascading and covering every inch of your visual field. No area is left bare. After a scrumptious meal, the music of a local band in the background, and good conversation of tablemates, it’s time for guests to move into the tent for the party to continue into the night! This tent has been transformed into the ultimate custom party lounge, complete with bars, desserts, lounge areas, and of course the hottest music played over a dance floor complete with club lighting.

This is what I had in mind:

Shabby Chic + Light Pink Rose – Spring Wedding Inspiration

Hello lovely ladies!

Today may be just another boring tax day, with lots of black and white, dull and repetitive tasks…… but today is also beautiful day! Or at least beautiful inspiration board day. And that’s the story I’m sticking with.

This week I’m channeling a shabby chic goddess at her spring wedding. Think lots of roses, lots of pink, lots of soft colors and super soft textures. I know you’ve likely been staring at your tax paperwork all night, so let’s just get to the pretty pictures.

Here’s what I’m thinking:

Wood Grain Spring Wedding Ideas

Hello and HAPPY Wednesday! This week’s inspiration board was inspired by the grain in wood. I envision a magical forest wedding, mid-morning with the sun shining. Fabric bunting in beige and light blue decorates the area. The guests and bridal party dance the evening away in a clear tent with scattered tea candles everywhere.

This is what I had in mind:

A Wedding in Red Velvet

Happy New Year!

I hope 2015 is off to a brilliant start for you! To start this year off with quite the bang, I’ve put together a dashing wedding – in red! Red velvet to be precise. This theme would be spectacular for wintery wedding, without going into the Santa’s velvet coat avenue. No, this is a muuuccch darker red, with a more sultry vibe about it. Fabulous for a wedding, but I think any gala or fundraiser could do well with this theme too.

Here’s what I had in mind:

I don’t know what it is, but I am totally in such a vintage mode lately!

For this week’s inspiration board, I’m focusing on ornate beading, with light floral and lace accents, and a neutral but sophisticated color palette. Here’s what I had in mind:
