MUSE BOARD {The One with the Rainbow}

For the young at heart who just love color, this may be for you.  I would love to see a wedding as bright as this in person.  The water balloons are a creative idea that I have not seen before.  For a casual outdoor wedding on a warm day, I’m sure a lot of guests would enjoy a nice balloon toss to cool off and have some fun.  The punch bowls and lollipops are fun too.  Incorporating your color scheme into your menu is always a great way to help set the mood.  This mood is definitely a lively and fun one.

MUSE BOARD {The One with a Rustic Spring Palette}

There are so many greens that would go great with gray and yellow, and this board could have turned out many different ways.  I do love that these are normally spring colors but somehow when you add the rustic feel it easily becomes a summer or fall wedding theme.  I love the washed out wood that looks gray, as well as the silver accessories that could be added for some flair.  A rich mossy green would really pop and make it the more dominate color.  Thanks for the color suggestion Courtney!

MUSE BOARD {The One with the Champion Colors}

THE DESSY INSPIRATION BOARD CONTEST
Where did I get this inspiration?  Well, perhaps it may have something to do with the fact that I am leaving TODAY for Whistler to see the first week of the 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS!  I get to see my family from across the country, along with a million other people from all over the world, all gathered to celebrate our greatest athletes.  And you can bet while I will be enjoying some of the finest competition, I will also be able to find love there too!  I will keep my eye out while I’m up there for you guys, to see if I can find any weddings, or other ideas for those Olympians among us.  I am excited to come back with some fun ideas, as well as a much lighter wallet.  I hope you all enjoy your weekend and next week!

MUSE BOARD {The One Made of Plums & Pears}

THE DESSY INSPIRATION BOARD CONTEST
For this one, mainly I just wanted to feature the absolutely gorgeous floral backdrop at the altar, as well as the fun purple suit.  I love both of them, and figured I should put them together for twice the wow effect.  Purple and gray are really popular right now, and green is a great natural color to add.  Check out my board, and others online, and don’t forget to vote!

MUSE BOARD {The One with Sunshine on a Cloudy Day}

THE DESSY INSPIRATION BOARD CONTEST!
What a better way to embrace the northwest than to plan a “dark and cloudy” wedding, but liven it up with such a sunny color?  I absolutely love the bride in rain boots, it is what inspired all of this.  This bride didn’t have to worry about the weather on her day, she was prepared either way!  Talk about a creative way to relieve some stress on your big day.  Sometimes I stop myself from wearing yellow over the winter because I feel like it is more of a summer color, but perhaps we should all reconsider the possibility of bringing sunshine into our lives more often.

Is anyone else ready for summer?  I keep looking at my adorable summer clothing, excited for the day I don’t have to add layers to them again.  This is another inspiration board I made for the Dessy Group Contest.  Like what you see?  Click on the link below and let Dessy know you love it!  Oh, and question for all of you.  Does anyone else think that Dessy’s male model (featured below) looks a little like a weird version of Logan Huntzberger from Gilmore Girls?  Or does he look like someone else?

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 Sassy Side of Audrey}

{A WEEK OF AUDREY HEPBURN}

A vision in red!  We all know she has this sassy red side to her, and I saved it for last.  What a classy and bright affair to behold.  Red is always show stopping, and so is Audrey.  The quote below is just great if you ask me.

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

{A WEEK OF AUDREY HEPBURN}

There’s really no debate as to whether Audrey is always classy, even in her more comedic movies.  She always has a certain poise in her stature and speech that is rarely found in one person.  This classy black, white and ivory wedding was the first one inspired by Audrey.  After I made this one, I realized that I needed to get to know her a little more and see if she was a muse for more weddings.  Low and behold I found a variety of weddings that merely shadow the many sides of this actress.  I love this quote too.  The detail I love the most in this one is the typewriter guest book; very creative.

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

{A WEEK OF AUDREY HEPBURN}

We don’t usually see this side of Audrey but I think I had the most fun making this sweet country wedding design.  Isn’t she just adorable on her bike with a dog in the basket?  How much sweeter can ya get?

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?
