Aqua & Blue Ombre Inspiration Shoot

How about an nice dose of ombre inspiration this afternoon? If you didn’t already know (which if you’re on Pinterest, I’m sure you did), ombre is a big design trend this year. In case you’re not familiar with ombre, it’s using a color, and displaying it in a way that goes from a light to dark spectrum of that color. I think it’s pretty cool, so when Valerie of Sapphire Events NOLA sent this inspiration shoot over, I just knew I wanted to share it!

From Valerie: “I wanted to illustrate the various ways a bride can incorporate this trend into her day.  Everything from linens, florals, and attire, to the favors, guestbook, and signature cocktail, the possibilities are endless.”

What awesome inspiration for how to incorporate ombre into all elements of the wedding! I think my favorite detail is all of the votives- it’s a small element, but still has a big effect. A big thank you to Sapphire Events NOLA and all of the other fabulous vendors who put this inspiration shoot together!

So lovely ELDers, what do you all think of the ombre look? Are any of you planning on incorporating it for your own weddings?

    Love this. I think it's a realistic look that most brides can have. Love the blues - it's so refreshing. Thanks!

Inspiration Board: Modern & Romantic Aqua & Red

Happy Tuesday! Okay, so I know aqua and red isn’t anything new, but I absolutely LOVE it, and I’ve been wanting to do an inspiration board for it since the holidays! It’s fun, modern, and I think it’s even a little romantic too. Oh and plus, you might be seeing more of this color palette in an  upcoming soon…. ;)

Row 1: Shoes, Invitation Suite, Frame, Marshmallows

Row 2: Color palette, Bride & Groom, Cake, Flowers, Couple

Row 3: Bouquet, Confetti, Table, Plates, Milk Glass

 

Oh and yes, I did actually decorate my house in red and aqua for Christmas. Which is exactly why I’ve been wanting to do an aqua and red inspiration since then!

So it’s quite clear that I love aqua and red…. but do you love it too?! Are any of you having red and aqua as your wedding colors? Someone please say yes!!!! :)

    That's crazy that you posted this like a week before I did a styled shoot with Aqua and Ruby!! Even crazier that I bought that exact confetti for it 4 days before this post was created :) I will make sure to submit my photos in case you're interested!
Fashionable Wedding Inspiration Shoot

Well, today is a day of inspiration on ELD, and this inspiration photo shoot from Pure Sugar Studios is chock FULL of it! From gorgeous wedding gowns and fabulous tablescapes to fun dessert displays, you’ll find inspiration for just about everything in this shoot!

Oh the s’mores table… have you ever had a s’mores cupcake? They. Are. Divine! Yum, SO GOOD… and great, now I’m going to be craving one! ;) And how about those gorgeous gowns… which one is your favorite? And which tablescape is your favorite- the garden one or the more modern blue? I honestly can’t decide- I love the hanging element of the garden tablescape, but you all know that I LOVE a modern table too! :) A big thank you to Pure Sugar Studios for sharing this wonderful inspiration with us!

    two kids are amazing and beautiful looking. Surely all your photos are fantastic, i have no words to say about this. Wedding dress, dining table, wedding cake, flowers are the source of wedding fashionable inspiration.
