Inspiration Board: Bold & Bright Color Blocking
Tuesday, May 1, 2012 in INSPIRATION 2 comments by Lauren Grove

I am *quite* excited about this inspiration board I have for you all today! Why you ask? Well because it’s the beginnings of my next shoot! I realized that I had been a little stir-crazy lately, and I chalked it all up to the fact that it’s been a few months since I’ve designed an inspiration shoot! The inspiration for this whole shoot is in the board below- before I tell you, I want you to try to guess it…

Row 1: Color Palette, Bouquet, Drinks, Cake, Invitation

Row 2: Streamers, Plate, Flatware

Row 3: Aisle, Bridesmaids, Cards

Well? Did you guess my inspiration? You may have been able to guess it just from what I titled the board, but it’s that plate! I saw those plates in Target about a month ago, and I kept going back and just staring at them and all of their accessories. I swear- the people who walked by must have thought I was possessed! So I finally just gave in and bought tons of goodies, and now I’m getting things into motion to make a shoot out of it! I absolutely love the variations of the colors- it’s not quite like ombre… I would say it’s more like color blocking. Of course the first step to planning a shoot is creating an inspiration board, and I just had to share it all with you because it’s so very appropriate for today- you know, because it’s MAY- meaning SUMMER- now! (Um, when did that happen?!)

So tell me, what do you think of this inspiration? Do you love it, or is it too bold and bright for your taste? Even better… are any of you using any of these colors for your wedding?!

    Bright bold colorful weddings are Hindsight Groom's favorites. Can't wait until he wakes up so I can show him. I also can't wait for the final shoot! YAAY

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today we’re starting off with some fabulous, bold inspiration from Brit- perfect for spring if you ask me!

I promise I love more than bold, electric colors. This palette really struck a chord with me because the bright colors are cheery and perfect for Spring or Summer. Use any one of these colors in a stronger balance to create an entirely new look and feel.

Hey friends! Boy am I glad it’s Tuesday! Kind of not, because that means this week is already going by WAY too fast, but I’m glad Monday is over with! I spent ALL DAY doing taxes. And when I say ALL DAY, I mean all day… like from 9 am to 11pm. I didn’t even eat. What. The Heck. I thought with Daylight Savings Time the days were supposed to feel longer?! The good news is that I’m done- at least I hope I am- and I’m considering it my final rite of passage for becoming a full time blogger. ;) Which reminds me… the anniversary of the relaunch of ELD (and the launch of Every Last Vendor) is coming up soon… I think I might do a little something to celebrate! And now I’m just thinking out loud… anyways, something good DID come out of my day of numbers and spreadsheets yesterday… the need for some PRETTY! I’ve actually had this inspiration board for a little while… it was my inspiration for a shoot that I recently did in Las Vegas, and I am DYING to share it with you all!!! I’m still waiting on photos, but I thought it was time to at least share the inspiration with you all!

Row 1: Tablescape, Bout, Necklace, Felt Fringe, Plates

Row 2: Bouquet, Tablescape, Dress, Cake, Bouquet

Row 3: Color Palette, Tassels, Painted Vases, Centerpiece

 

Bold, modern, and eclectic- some of my favorite styles combined to create something pretty awesome. I’ve been obsessed with a cobalt blue lately. I wanted to pair it with some feminine colors, but still have everything be bold, so I went with a plum and dusty pink. Of course I had to throw in some teal and gray for some extra modern style. I won’t go too deep into the description- I’ll save that for when I post the actual shoot! Now I’m kind of dying to see a wedding with these colors- would any of you use them for your wedding? What do you think?! :)

Oh and PS- is anyone else wondering where February went, or am I the only person who keeps forgetting it’s March?!

    [...] might recall a certain trip to Vegas earlier this year, followed soon after by a little glimpse of what my inspiration was for the shoot I styled when I was there. Well, I am SO SO SO excited to finally share this shoot [...]
Inspiration Board: Hot Pink, Yellow and White

I’m a sucker for bold color. I love a vintage hue, but there is just something about bold colors and weddings that make my heart swoon. With neon being hot this year, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we see a few weddings with punchy yellows, electric blues, and firey pinks. While this love of neon may give away that yes, I am in fact a child of the 80s, it doesn’t change the fact that a bold hue can still ad a modern touch and level of sophistication to any party.

Cake, Stationery, Bridesmaids
Bride, Groom, Vase, Shoes
Tablescape, Bouquet, Centerpiece

So tell me- are any of you planning on having a bright color palette like this? I hope someone is!!!

 

[Editor's note: Hey loves! I just wanted to let you know to come back again a little bit later for an awesome extra special inspiration feature!!!! I hope you'll love it as much as I do!! :) Oh, and seriously, about what Brit asked- who's having a wedding with some fab bright colors?!]
