Mint To Be | Inspiration

I must prelude this inspiration board with a little back story behind my history with the color Mint Green. I was a dancer, and in the 5th grade we were performing the Nutcracker for our Spring Recital. Our part of the ballet, was the Waltz of the Flower. Well, when I found out that we would be choosing the color we wore with our partner, out of a hat, I knew my bad luck would ultimately win. I was chosen last out of that hat, and forced to wear the fluffiest Mint Green Tutu ever! You can bet that I never stopped talking about how I got stuck wearing the most horrible color in the entire group. 

My 5th grade feelings about the color, are quite contrary to what I feel now. Mint Green has been on the rise for some time now, and it is so fresh, so trendy. I really adore the feeling it gives off. 

In this inspiration Board, "Mint To Be," I included delicate details of ivory and variations of mint. I imagine this wedding in the summer, at a lovely garden location, full of lush florals and succulents. Here is just a little bit of that vision below! I hope you are inspired! Thanks for stopping by! :]

Blushin' Plum & Teal

"Blushin' Plum & Teal"

What better way to start planning your wedding than choosing a refreshing color combo like this one! Right?! With a tripled color effect for a wedding it is best to focus on two colors and use the third as an accent! I love the fact that these colors can be used for a very chic, vintage wedding or they could be used for a more modern, bold look. Enjoy this inspiration board created just for you! 

Guestbooks Galore!

Brides, let's be real. If your Guestbook looks like this, then we have a problem! Gone are the days of the tulle & lace covered guestbook from the 80's that you sign only your name in; we have moved on to much greater things in the world! Thank goodness! :]

Wedding guestbooks have become more of a keepsake for couples as opposed to their former role as just dust-collectors in the attic. Also, guestbooks are becoming more of a project. There is more thought going into the ideas behind the guestbook, and what kind of presentation it will have. Nothing makes us happier than to see fresh, new ideas! So I will present you with a few that are fun & creative, but as always I encourage you to think outside the box when it comes to your big day!
