Wedding Inspiration Boards!

You did it! You said “Yes”! Now you start looking for great ideas to plan your dream day. You can search the web, cut clippings from magazines and talk about ideas with friends for months during your planning process. These are all elements of creating your own Wedding Inspiration Board. Also known as a story board or mood board, an inspiration board is simply a collage of pictures that helps pull together the look and feel of your wedding including color schemes, decorating ideas and wedding details. This board can be shown to your wedding vendors to help them understand your vision of the day and the feeling you want your wedding to evoke. An inspiration board also helps you stay focused and avoid purchases that do not fit into your wedding theme.

In this section of our blog, we will be posting Inspiration Boards we find throughout the web, along with those we create ourselves. If you have an inspiration board you’d like to share, we would love to see it. Email us!

Fall is almost here. Below is an example of a great inspiration board courtesy of Tastefully Entertaining that would make a beautiful fall wedding!

"ORANGE and ORCHIDS!"

Inspiration for this board started with the William Arthur orange orchid invitation.

- Orange knee-length bridesmaid dress by Jenny Yoo
- Orange floral 3-tier wedding cake
- Stunning bridal bouquet made of calla lilies, roses and gloriosa lilies all in varying shades of orange
- Simple white favor boxes wrapped with an orange designed paper and a light orange ribbon
- Orange and clear wine cocktails
- Beautiful orange and white table decor [via the blog, SocialDesign]
- Orange orchid invitation with matching response card, reception card and thank you note
