#236 | Pretty Pastel Wedding Inspiration Board

There's no way avoiding pastels when it comes to Spring. It's soft, inviting and absolutely perfect. I love the speckled egg details in this board and the pale blue pick up beautifully decorated with a floral garland will be the perfect addition to the couple's getaway.

#229 | Vintage Love Letters

I love going back and revisiting past inspiration boards and see if I can update them.  Today I was inspired by  this board that I created a few years ago and added a vintage feel with the beautiful palette and soft petal roses.  The incorporation of the love letters makes this board timeless.

PRETTY PALETTE | Sweet Conversation

My go to V-day candy has to be conversation hearts...maybe it has to do with my 3rd grade crush Paul giving me a box that I never manage to actually open because I wanted to save it forever lol.  Today's board takes these sweet candies and gives them more of a soft and romantic feel.

#228 | Blue Valentine

I might be the last person on earth that isn't a fan of red roses and when Valentine's day rolls in a might cringe with overwhelming scene of red roses. To me nothing screams romance like soft petal pink roses.  The turquoise is rich and makes the perfect pair to this bright pinky roses.

#227 | Delicate Dogwood

Even though Pantone named Greenery as their color of the year, I have to admit that I'm crushing really hard on Pale Dogwood. It's soft, romantic and the perfect hue for a spring weddings.

Heirloom pieces are perfect to incorporate into your wedding to honor family members that you cherish and who might not be present on your special day.

 

 

 

Delicate ruffle details make me swoon.

PRETTY PALETTE | PRETTY IN PINK LEATHER

Who knew leather could be so sweet?  Pink leather and muted blooms make for a perfect combination. How amazing is this inspiration for a bridal shower?

{#198} fuchsia + white pumpkin

 

Gah! It's my first i-board in quite a while and I'm extremely nervous to hear your thoughts about it.

The color palette is dramatic and modern and perfectly unexpected for an autumn wedding.  

Happy Halloween, friends!

{#189} valentine confetti

I first shared this board on Branco Prata's blog but since it's one of my favorite Valentine boards, I just had to repost it here on P&P.  I'm the first to admit I'm not the biggest lover of red but there's no escaping it this time of year.  I wanted to keep everything pretty light and airy and only showcase the ruby red in details. How much do you love that bird's eye view of that table? Pretty awesome right? I love that black confetti!

{#168} european romance

{colors} pink, linen, cocoa

{description} Back in July I had the honor to guest blog for Jacin of {Lovely Little Details} and created a sweet board that was inspired by romantic European villages. This inspiration board is so inviting with its soft color palette and vintage details.  It might look pretty minimal, but that's what makes it oh so charming. Pretty fabric pouches add color and pattern to the table when positioned along side each place setting while delicious baguette bundles double up as centerpieces.
