Okay, so you probably can tell I’m in love with inspiration boards! It’s mostly because I haven’t yet decided on my colors so they’ve helped tremendously! So far, I’ve been able to take away bits and pieces but nothing yet was the “perfect” palette for me. Sooooo….I took some time this weekend and took a shot at making my own! Again, I’m still undecided but I think this comes a little closer to what I’m going for. I’d still like to incorporate a color that “pops” so I’m sure you’ll be seeing a few more boards soon from me! I absolutely LOVE the bridesmaid dresses in this pic! I love this classic, “antique” feel this palette creates!

Although I’m a year away, I couldn’t help but start thinking about what I might give to my father as a Father of the Bride gift. These were some ideas I found online at Exclusively Weddings. They have great gift options for everyone in our wedding party. I’ll definitely have to keep them in mind as it gets closer to our date!
Elizabeth Ann Designs Inspiration Board
I’d like to narrow down my wedding colors soon and have been on the hunt for some inspiration. I headed over to Elizabeth Ann Designs since she always creates awesome inspiration boards! I love these colors in this board and picture big, splashing waves just over those sand hills. I absolutely LOVE the parasol idea and think I will definitely incorporate it somehow into the wedding or engagement photos. I just thought I would share this board because it just looks really “refreshing” with the blue skies and pitcher of something cold to drink! A must have for a summer wedding!
So as I am weeks away from looking at venues, I’m starting to get anxious about the rest of my wedding planning task list. The first thing on my mind is do we have a wedding theme or not!? I’ve thought of all the things we love to do…watch movies and actual record video at family functions or the most recent, took a road trip to DC for Obama’s Inauguration in January (where we got engaged!) and took tons of footage which we just finished editing and created our own documentary. We enjoy traveling, the beach, spoiling our Boston Terrier, and hanging out with friends and family. I’ve thought about doing a “movie” theme, but the favors, invitations, and decorations I’ve seen online are not for me. Then there is our “wine” theme since we’ll be in California. And then of course travel comes to mind which I think we might be able to pull off. While my mind wandered aimlessly today about all the possibilities, I came across this save-the-date idea. Doesn’t sound all that “new”, but it’s new to me so thought I would share in case you haven’t seen them. It’s a boarding pass save-the-date! Very appropropriate for a destination wedding right!? Its very cute and can also be used as a less formal wedding invitation too! I’m all about DIY projects and what-do-you-know…they have a template already out there for these puppies! I found Aylee Bits’s template of boarding pass Save-the-Dates by way of iDIY Blog! I know I’ll be frequenting iDIY on a daily basis for inspiration from now on! Still undecided if “travel” will be our theme, but its definitely looking more like one of our better options!
