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! :]

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!

Spring Color Forecast | Navy & Coral

Hi Lovelies! 

We are busy as bees at over here at White Blossom getting ready for some fabulous weddings, that we cannot wait to share with you. In the meantime, I have put together a color combo that is absolutely adorable, and so fun for spring or summer! Navy Blue and a Tangerine/Coral were both on the Pantone 2012 spring color forecast for weddings by The Dessy Group. 

I combined these colors in hopes of finding an edge to the sometimes blah navy blue. The contrasting colors make this combo an eye-catcher. I added classic elements in hopes of creating an upscale feel. I hope ya'll enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it! :] Have a great day, and as always, thanks for stopping by!

Be My Valentine | Ombre Love

Today is a day that honors love. I hope you all take the time to remind all of those you love, just how much they mean to you. Our lives get hectic (trust me, I know), but aside from the cheesy hearts, chocolates and pick-up lines, today is really about celebrating the emotion in its rarest form. So take today to show just how much you care :]

I have created this Be My Valentine | Ombre Love inspiration board just for all of you. It is a combination of a dark to light color palette (ombre), subtle, but adorable detailing and a true feeling of LOVE. I hope you all enjoy!

And lastly, the girls of White Blossom Weddings wish you all a very Happy Valentine's Day!

Be Inspired By THIS!

Today, I am bringing you some ideas inspired by one of the 2012 wedding trends! Watercolor is all the hype this year, and it can be used in so many, many ways! The beautiful, soft strokes and colors prove to be a favorable theme for weddings and events of all types! Below I combined a travel-esque theme, with watercolor elements, including the tags on the bottles/favors, the watercolor map guestbook, and the softness of the colors :] I hope you all enjoy this little bit of inspiration, brought to you exclusively by White Blossom Weddings!
