Inspiration Board: Eclectic Purple & Yellow
Tuesday, November 8, 2011 in Eclectic 5 comments by Lauren Grove

I decided that I needed some brightness in my life this week, and to me that means yellow! Of course what better way to get my fill of yellow than to make an inspiration board? I’ve been thinking about yellow and purple together for a while now, and let me tell you- now that I’ve created this board, I am LOVING it! It’s eclectic, it’s modern, it’s stylish, and most of all, it’s GORGEOUS!

Row 1: Bottles, Invitation Suite, Bouquet, Cake

Row 2: Color Palette, Chandelier, Tablescape, Straws

Row 3: Dessert table, Bouquet, Placesettings

 

So perfect for spring or summer, but if you use deeper shades, it would be gorgeous for Fall too! Maybe throw in a pattern or two to be used in the decor elements, and of course use gray accents… oh my goodness, I’m in love! :) So what do you think? Do you all love the purple and yellow together as much as I do?!

    I love colors that are opposite on the color wheel, for some reason they go together SO well! The contrast is beautiful. :)

Inspiration Board: Dainty Sherbet
Tuesday, October 25, 2011 in INSPIRATION 6 comments by Lauren Grove

Oh my goodness, two inspiration boards two weeks in a row?! I know you all are proud! ;) Well, we can essentially thank my wonderful wedding pro friends for the boards, because I get to have fun creating and designing these boards, and then they help me bring them to life!

This board today is all about sherbet. Not just one color of sherbet either- all of them! It’s a lovely mixture of colors that are pastel, yet can also be more bold by just going a few tones deeper. Add in a few vintage and delicate design elements with the pops of sherbet colors and you have yourself some Dainty Sherbet inspiration!

Row 1: Invite, Centerpiece, Placesetting, Bouquet, Cake

Row 2: Color Palette, Ice Cream Bowls, Cake, Plates, Sherbet

Row 3: Table, Bouquet, Flowers

 

I’m loving the mixtures of all the colors! I’m still deciding which way I want to go with the general design. My options are more vintage or more modern. This board is lending more towards the vintage, but it all comes down to the details and elements that I use. What do you think? Which style would you want to see in this “Dainty Sherbet” color palette? Vintage or modern? Help me out! :)

    Vintage! It would be awesome with the sherbet colors. To me sherbet just screams vintage! I love it.

    I love sherbert! daiquiri ice at baskin robbins yum! The best thing about this palette is you can use it for any season. stick to the warmer tones in the fall and it doesn't feel like easter!

    Definitely vintage! This is very similar to the color palette I'm using for my wedding!

    I'm going to shake it up and say modern, just because I feel like I have seen this combo done vintage before, and I would love to see the fresh breath of a modern take be put on it :)

    Sherbet colors are a breath of colors. They are very light, incredibly feminine and delicate tones. Your wedding will be very elegant and airy) Great pictures!
Inspiration Board: Modern Chic Black and Taupe
Tuesday, October 18, 2011 in INSPIRATION 8 comments by Lauren Grove

SURPRISE! Happy Tuesday! I have a gift for you today… an inspiration board! Aren’t you excited?! ;) I’m so sorry for it taking forever between inspiration boards. I’ve pretty much been concentrating on one specific design per month and then creating photo shoots to bring them to life. Which in turn means that I eat, sleep and breathe whatever my inspiration is for the month. Literally. I dream it. Lame, I know, but I suppose it’s one of the “job hazards” of being a blogger! Well needless to say, this month my inspiration has bee this modern, chic look using black and taupe! Take a look…

Row 1: Bridesmaids, Invitation Suite, Bouquet

Row 2: Cake, Color Palette, Dress, Candles

Row 3: Clutches, Candlesticks, Coasters, Salt

 

For this modern chic design, I’m envisioning a glossy black combined with a matte taupe, a simplistic yet chic candlescape on the table, and interesting details. Annnnnd I just realized that this would be an awesome color scheme for decorating for Halloween, if you wanted to go the chic route. Well, at least I’m keeping it somewhat seasonal, right?

Honestly, this black and taupe color combination has been in the back of my mind for months, and I’m excited to finally see it turned to reality! That’s all I can say about it right now, but just know that you’ll be able to see the product in about December (which by the way will be here before we know it)! :)

So what do you think of the black and taupe? I can’t quite decide on the metal accent that should go with it- what do you think? Gold or silver? Help me decide! :)

    love this colors! the black gown is amazing. both metal accents would make a great combination for this, but if we have to choose one, it would be silver...

  • Julie @ Kiss and Punch Designs:

    I love the sophistication of these colors. Probably silver for the metal accent.

    That black and white and kraft paper invitation is one of my ultimate favorites! And this is one of my favorite palettes, too. I can't wait to see it come to life! and about gold or silver... I guess I'd say Gold since it's always my choice over silver. Either would look great but I think Gold would help to give it that soft glow. :)

  • Lauren {Absolutely Fabulous Weddings}:

    Gold for sure! I think it would warm it up just the right amount, yet keep that modern, chic look you're going for. :)

  • Bean Benson:

    Gold would be a wonderful choice to celebrate the tones of the fall season! Glamorous gold accents would really enhance the warmth of the flames in the candlescape:)

  • Mariana Herrera Mosli:

    Love this! These colors ooze sexiness! P.s. i say gold!

    I really LOVE these color scheme. I've always been a fan of black, but after seeing Vera's new dress line that is all black and taupe, I'm in love! I wouldn't have ever thought I'd be ok with a black wedding dress. Leave it to Vera to change me :)
Inspiration Board: Natural Beach Chic
Tuesday, September 27, 2011 in INSPIRATION 2 comments by Lauren Grove

Happy Tuesday everyone! SURPRISE! An inspiration board! :) I created this board as inspiration for a little something that I’m working on with fellow blogger Megan of Glamour and Grace. I just kind of threw it together a few weeks ago, but it turned out pretty good, so I thought I would share it! We’re calling it “Natural Beach Chic”- not too much of any single element, but just the right amount of each.

Row 1: Table, Bouquet, Tablescape, Shell, Vignette
Row 2: Dress, Bouquet, Bottles, Headband
Row 3: Table, Bottles, Shells, Bouquet, Placesetting

 

So, what do you think? Can you guess what we’re up to? Here’s a hint: it’s going to involve a sleepover, an awesome photographer, and some paint. ;)
