Inspiration

Let's face it, anyone who is planning a wedding out there (and even some who aren't ;D) needs to be using Pinterest to compile any and all ideas. It seriously is the best planning tool available! I have found so many ideas for my wedding on Pinterest, and I am positive that I would still be completely lost if I didn't have it!

So here are some of the things that are the inspiration for my wedding...think vintage, lace, rustic, all that good stuff!

 

From left to right: gold, ivory, mint, pink, silver, white 

This is a super basic color scheme that I whipped up on...handy dandy "Paint" of course!! Haha, The colors are not as vibrant as I want them to be but they give the basic idea :) I plan on doing lots of neutrals, so metallics, ivory, and cream mainly, with the mint and pink accents. The bridesmaid dresses will probably be the mint color (check out the Vintage Eyelet Dress from Delia's on my last post) and my dress is white and ivory lace with gold and silver accents! For the pink, think of soft peonies...I love that color :)

For my own sanity, I am going to post a couple of images from the internet and Pinterest so that I can get a basic idea of how this will look! I honestly am super happy with the color palette above, although I wish the gold and silver were more vibrant! It is really hard to create a metallic color on Paint, lol.

This wedding is going to be full of:

• Lace, Burlap, and Pearls:

• LOTS of lights, but the awesome thing is that the barn at the winery where our wedding will be is already decorated with tons of lights...it is seriously beautiful!!
• That means I just have to worry about draping lots of tulle...if anyone has any suggestions on how to do this, let me know!
