#230 | Love in the Golden Hour Inspiration Board

The golden hour is pure magic! Photographers love shooting during this time to achieve a soft and glowing images. I wanted to use that as my inspiration for today's board.  Delicate shades of peach and blush with a rich coppery hue.  Super romantic.

{#208} vintage lace & mint

What can I say, as much as I love colorful and creative weddings I have a not so secret soft spot for vintage inspired weddings. I love the use of heirlooms from family members to be incorporated in the wedding like wearing your mother's lace veil or topping your cake off with your grandparents' vintage topper.

{#207} blue vineyard

A vineyard has the be the my quintessential location for an outdoor wedding. Nothing compares to the stunning views, wine at your disposal and the way that it allows the wedding celebration to be both casual and elegant at the same time.

{#206} peach + spring florals

There's nothing like returning to P&P.  I've missed interacting with you all and I'm happy to get back to blogging. With Spring just around the corner, I wanted to kick off my return with this pretty peachy palette inspiration board with floral accents. It's soft, delicate and it rejuvenates me to get back in the swing of things.

{#201} autumn warmth

 As winter is begin to slowly approach, I'm trying my hardest to soak in as much autumn goodness as I can. I'm still not ready to let go of my warm caramels and cozy browns just yet. Today's inspiration board has all of my favorite things...a gorgeous palette, delicious treats and leaves me with a wonderful sense of warmth.

{#200} rustic brown + lavender

Whoa! I can't believe that today I'll share with you my 200th inspiration board. It's inevitable that brown is the heavyweight champ for the number one spot in autumn palettes. Sure, it can be used year round but it just feels right this time of year. Paired with soft lavender and pretty details makes this one of my favorite boards to date. 

colors | brown, lavender, beige

{#199} turquoise + copper

I can't speak for everyone but I can't get enough of rustic weddings but sometime I like a more refined look. Adding a little spark and shine brings this autumn inspiration board to another level.

{#197} darling derby

With the Kentucky Derby happening this weekend, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to create a wedding board inspired by the event with lots of amazing hats, mint juleps and vintage touches.

{#190} bee mine

I created this board last year for Megan of {Forget me Knot Weddings} and it still is one of favorites. I wanted to create something that still remained true to Valentine's Day but with a little twist.  Love its clean and modern color palette of yellow, cream and taupe.  These bright and cheerful colors also reminds me that Spring is just around the corner.

{pretty palette} raspberry + chocolate

Such a pretty color palette to slowly allow us to transition from winter to spring.

{#182} winter shimmer

Back in January I guest blogged for Melissa over at {The Loveliest Day} and featured this Winter Shimmer board with her lovely readers.  I never got a chance to share here on P&P until today. Everything looks prettier when it sparkles…don’t ya think? Who doesn’t love a festive and glamorous winter wedding. You don’t typically associate rich delicious brown as a winter color but when combined with bronze, gold and hints of silver can convince any winter bride to consider this palette for her own wedding.   Ornaments can be your best friend when it comes to decorating for your winter wedding. By scattering metallic and glass ornaments around the tables {or staircase} will instantly add color and interest to your event.

{#181} love and gratitude

Happy Monday! It's going to be one busy week for me and posting is going to be on the light side because of Thanksgiving. I wanted to create a board to celebrate the season. The board needed to be comfortable and casual but refined.  Hints of wheat in the decor and boutonnieres make it extra special.

{#180} autumn tweed

It's been a while since I posted a board with a green palette. You might find this hard to believe but I first started it back in August. Gah!  I often create a board inspired by the next season in anticipation for all the pretties that it brings. So I guess you can say that today's board honors all my favorite autumn things - caramel {duh} tweed, twine and champagne {ok so that's for every season}.

{#179} caramel noir

Last week I featured a light caramel board and a few days later decided that I needed to put together something a little darker. I love the richness that this board evokes. It has basically the same elements but I substituted some elements like the white lace for black and it brings such a different feel to it. Can't you picture an intimate gathering of friends and family celebrating a happy couple with this board?

{#178} white caramel

Happy Halloween!! Last year I created a dark and wicked board but for this year I wanted go the complete opposite. Inspired by my obsession love of shimmer and my favorite candies {caramel squares} I wanted to keep the board light and whimsical.  How much do you love that mask? It's ridiculously gorgeous and I can totally picture it in a bridal or boudoir shoot.
