MUSE BOARD {The One with the Vibrant Winter Wedding}

THE DESSY MUSE BOARD CONTEST
One of my favorite wedding blogs has gotten together with the Dessy Group to create a little competition, which I have entered!  I actually got this color palette inspiration from a bottle of Sake I saw at Uwajimaya the other night.  Yes, inspiration can sometimes come from the silliest things.  The colors just looked so elegant together, I had to try it, and I must say I am pleased with the results.  Mostly muted colors with a bright splash of red says elegant and bold to me.  Help me win this competition (and a few choice prizes) by voting for me!  Learn more about the contest by clicking here.

MUSE BOARD {The One with the Rose Garden Necklace}

I said that I would make a wedding inspired for this necklace I love so much.  To be honest, I am surprised at how it turned out, since pink isn’t usually what I am drawn to.  I found almost everything I needed for this design on Etsy, and am now convinced that you could decorate your entire hand-crafted wedding with only Etsy items.  (If you’re looking for bargains, that may not be the way to do it, but all the items are absolutely breathtaking.)  I picture this wedding taking place at a very elegant courtyard garden, next to a building with marble flooring, and ivory stone walls with beautiful archways.  A dream venue for the dream wedding.

 

I looked up the meaning of the Pink Rose (every color rose means something different). The light pink color represents happiness, appreciation, and admiration.  All very good qualities to wish a couple starting the long journey ahead of them.  Happiness in the perfect moments, appreciation for how far they’ve come together, and mutual admiration and respect for each other to get them through the hard times.

MUSE BOARD {The One with The Fair Side of Audrey}

{A WEEK OF AUDREY HEPBURN}

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plane.  Anyone else absolutely love My Fair Lady.  You could dance all night at a wedding inspired by this extraordinary love story.  Do any of you have a modern day version of that story?  Whatever your story is, wouldn’t it be fun to build your wedding theme around a movie that reflects you and your love’s story?

MUSE BOARD {The One with the Fancy Side of Audrey}

{A WEEK OF AUDREY HEPBURN}

Audrey Hepburn, the magnetically charming woman that has captured the hearts of so many.  She has inspired a variety of things, one of which is most definitely love.  I started by making one wedding inspire by her, and realized that there was a lot of ideas left, so I just had to make a week of it.  I hope you enjoy it as much I did making it!

MUSE BOARD {The One with the Evergreens}

I made this for a friend of mine who was trying to pick a color scheme for her wedding this summer.  She really liked the burnt orange and green look that is very in right now.  I made up a Pacific Northwest version of this scheme just for fun.  Pinecones and evergreen branches are common commodities out here, and great budget saver resources for the DIY Bride.  The terra cotta pots as centerpieces are a wonderfully unique touch.  The details are elegantly simplistic, just by using what nature has provided.  This is the perfect theme for a fall wedding at a rustic lodge, for the sophisticated outdoorsy couple.

MUSE BOARD {The One with Pink and Gold}

The royalty of gold and softness of pink.  Pink can add a variety of moods to an occasion, but in this muse board I decided to use it for a fun yet fancy vibe, and the gold (as always) for a classic fanciful feel.  The teacups and champagne flutes add to an old fashioned wedding theme, but the dessert table, save-the-dates, and invitation add a modern touch as well.
