Elemental Inspiration | Aqua + Pink

There are just some things in life that just cannot be overlooked. The absolutely adorable polka dot flower girl dress below happened to be that something in this instance.  It was the main inspiration and the basis off of which this style board was built. Which brings me to the topic of Elemental Inspiration. 

Yes, I made that name up, but don't worry, I have a legitimate point! 

My definition of Elemental Inspiration: The act of finding and loving an element so much, that it becomes all-consuming in the planning process and a main component in the event's identity. This could occur at any point during the planning. 

Once I found that little dress, my entire theme/idea/design had shifted for this inspiration board. It was a complete change, and that is okay. The point is, little details like that can have a big effect on the outcome of your wedding. It is the detailed elements that our brides find, that make our jobs worthwhile, and your wedding that much more memorable. So don't be afraid to fall in love with an "element" and let it creatively inspire your big day! We hope you enjoy that flower girl dress as much as us, and the fun wedding design it inspired!

Modern Orange & Gray Color Inspiration

Modern is definitely the first word that comes to mind when pairing any color with gray. For this little bit of inspiration, I paired gray with orange. This is a fun color combo that works lovely for the fall, or any other season for that matter. What I really love about this pair is that it subtlety says "fall" without the leaves and pumpkins! Sometimes subtle is just what you need to make a good impression! Another great asset about this color combo is that you can easily add in an accent color! Below, I added in the yellow-gold, to help you get an idea. Hope you feel inspired, Enjoy!

Color, Color, Color

It is always so interesting to see how couples incorporate their wedding colors into the designs of their special day. When we say the outcome of possibilities is endless, we surely mean it! 

The Wedding Industry is constantly changing and introducing new, upcoming trends. One of the trends over the past couple of years has been introducing color! I'm not saying your mother or grandmother did not have a color palette for their day, I'm saying we are bringing color to weddings in a whole new way! And it is so exciting!

Colored Crinolines

Believe it or not, you can do this at home! (With any shade of Rit dye)

So, what do we love about this trend? It's daring. It says a lot about the bride's personality, it makes a statement, and of coarse, it is versatile. Colored crinolines can be used under the wedding gown, bridesmaids, flower girls, or even under a fun reception dress...etc. 

Colored Belts/Accessories

Say goodbye to the boring silver and gold, and hello, to the lovely colors!

Etsy.com is the best place to find some of the most colorful, unique bridal belts and sashes. Khloe Kardashian was even wearing color on her wedding gown in a sash!

Again, if you want to do a more traditional look for the ceremony, you can still do a fun, colorful accessory for the party!

OMG, shoes! (& socks!)

Detailed shots taken by your photographer typically capture the little details that not all of your guests are attuned to, like shoes!

Your Groom and his Groomsmen can coordinate their socks to match the wedding colors! This is a fun trend, that always makes for perfect pictures!

Chances are if you go for a bold, colorful shoe for your wedding day, people won't forget. 

It sure beats having a pair of drab ivory heels in your closet that you'll probably never think twice about wearing again.

These are certainly not all you can do in the incorporation of color in your wedding, but hopefully this colorful inspiration 

will help get your wheels turning! 

Last but not least, don't afraid to be bold; it's supposed to be the best day of your life, you want others to remember it too!
