Nothing says love like the color red, right? Red doesn’t just have to feel romantic, it could also be fun + vibrant like in these images below… [image credit: red, black and white place cards, bouquet and couple in front of heart - Tanja Lippert via Snippet & Ink. Travel-inspired invitation - Caroline Tran] I’ve always loved Peacocks and their beautifully colored feathers. I think the look is timeless and I don’t think I could ever get sick of seeing peacock feather inspiration. I am actually incorporating a slight peacock feather touch to an event I am currently working on. When the feathers are added with deep purple, I think it adds even more depth and character. Peacock feathers look great as a bouquet as well and that could be a great option if would like to save money on your florals.

We still have about a week, right? And, with weather like I’ve been experiencing, I will cherish the week. I like spring, I like summer but I can’t help but feel ‘colorless’ in the thick of fall. I love color and I don’t think fall weddings have to be the usual reds and rusts and yellows that are synonomous. For this color inspiration, I’ve been thinking earthy with a touch of feminine. It was inspired by the great Crate & Barrel – where I saw the pillow below with a sweet (or earthy feminine, rather) color palette that would be lovely for a fall wedding! When fall arrives, that is. Enjoy the inspiration…

I was thinking yellow + fuschia color inspiration when I received some of these great images below from the sweet Cori Cook of Cori Cook Floral Design of the bouquets + centerpieces she designed, photographed by Karina Heneghan. I like how the blue/periwinkle adds depth + even more variety to the fuschia orchids + flowers. I picture wedding colors like this during the spring, summer or fall at a country club or golf club, or even beachside sipping lemonade with blueberry garnish. I also like how the cake below, photographed by Laurie Peacock, fits in so nicely without being too much color. Enjoy the inspiration…

It is no surprise I love gray in weddings + decor. I like pairing it with different colors other than the popular yellow + green. To be honest, personally, I haven’t always been the biggest fan of the color blue. [Or brown while we're on the subject.] For weddings, I always saw it as a common beach wedding color, often used in a similar way. With the peacock feather trend in weddings that came, you started seeing blue used a little more. I have grown to like blue because it can be modern… remember that great navy blue and peach wedding I featured? So…if you’re going blue, you may want to incorporate various shades of blue [or your favorite color]. Like centerpieces + the like, various shades or colors add depth….be blue – in various shades! Enjoy the inspiration…

The tea party was organized by Joanna Chong of Joanna Events for her mother’s birthday. I absolutely love when people use vibrant colors + fun decor like Joanna did – I mean look at these beautiful pictures! Thank you Adrienne for allowing me to share these images with my readers. I can imagine how fun it was to be there! Joanna is just getting started in wedding and event planning, and I would say from the look of this, she has a promising future… This summer, take the tea party outside + have even more fun! Enjoy the inspiration…
[image credit: Adrienne Gunde] This weekend’s inspiration is color – plum + silver. I like the clean silver + cream colors, and the pops of color the plum provides. I’d actually like to see these colors for a fall wedding bride who is looking to escape the traditional ‘autumn leave colored tones’ of the season. I could also see this at a vineyard wedding or in wine country. Enjoy the inspiration…
[image credit: 1+2 Leigh Miller, 3 Cakegirls, 4 + 6 Elizabeth Millay, 5+7 Jules Bianchi] I just love gray and tan suits on the groom + groomsmen….especially for an outdoor or beach area wedding! There is just such a clean look to it that I love. If your man and his groomsmen aren’t into the traditional black tuxedos or suits, these are a great alternative. Look at these dapper men [in these great photos, might I add!] sporting their respective grays and tans …
[image credit: images 1-4: Red Ribbon Studio, images 5-7: Gertrude & Mabel Photography, images 8+9: Next Exit Photography] With June comes an abundance of summery colors like yellow, feminine blues + aquas. Spring + summer weddings are the perfect time for those tan suits for the men + and the beachy flowy dresses for women. My recent color love is tropical blue paired with summer yellow, white + and even tan + brown. Tropical blue + tan are even throughout our city home – those colors provide a nice relaxing environment. I adore these colors for a beach or island summer wedding. Enjoy the inspiration…
This week’s inspiration [of the week] ideas focus on beautiful centerpieces – centerpieces in different trendsetting colors schemes. There will be no all-white arrangements here… Today: yellow. How cheery + full of sunshine is yellow? It is such a happy color.
