#233 | Tale as Old as Time Inspiration Board

I have to admit that I'm super excited to share with you today's board.  If you couldn't tell from the post title it's based on my favorite childhood movie, The Beauty and the Beast.  The live action movie is coming out later this week and I wanted to pay a little homage to Belle and the gang.

Today's pretty palette was inspired by this year's pantone color pick, tangerine tango.  It's fun, bright and I can't wait to see it make its way in 2012 weddings.

{#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.

{#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.

{#172} pretty + playful polka dots

Thank you all for your kind words. Your words mean so much to me. Each and every one of hold a special place in my heart. I've had this board sitting out waiting for it to be completed for the longest and I finally managed to finish it.  I simply adore this board...it's one of my faves. The playful polka dots details are so pretty and not commonly seen in weddings and when they're used in this soft and delicate color palette makes me love them even more.

{#171} denim + squash

How was everyone's weekend? Good I hope. I'm so happy to share this board with you today because it was really fun to put together. For the past few weeks I've been itching to feature autumn boards. Isn't this such a pretty palette? The rich blue paired with the light tan has to be my favorite color combination. I love the casualness of denim clad grooms and golden touches, don't you?  Oh and I'm on the hunt for blue pumpkins this year!

{#146} the princess diaries

{colors} coral, peach, gold 

{description} For this week's board I was inspired by the upcoming Royal wedding. It seems that everyone and their mother is excited about tomorrow's nuptials.  I'll confess that I'm not aware of every single detail of the wedding but I did catch a few updates here and there from what guests were invited {hello Mr. Beckham} to what time Prince William will kiss Kate {1:25 London time if you care}.  I know that there are traditions that need to be followed but I'm hoping for some modern and playful touches too {why not the Clarence House is on twitter}! Wouldn't you love to see Kate wearing a gorgeous elaborate feather hair fascinator or do you think she should wear a royal crown?

{#141} golden raspberry

{colors} pink copper, golden raspberry, white chocolate

{description} I had this board sitting on the back-burner for some time now because it took me quite a long time to find the last photo that would complete it...that amazing outdoor lounge!  I love raspberries but I'm intrigued with it's cousin the golden raspberry. It's golden-orange color paired with blush pink make for a sophisticated palette.  It's romantic, luminous and perfect for any upcoming spring/summer wedding.

{description} i couldn't end the year without one more inspiration board. this new years wedding is a bit more glamorous but still has the simple sophistication that i love. gold is used frequently throughout the wedding in the candle sticks, silverware, bouquet and noisemakers. there is no need for signature drinks, champagne is all you need.

{#120} pink poinsettia

back in october i put out a little survey and a whopping 58.4% {to be exact} wanted to see more inspiration boards on P&P. so your wish is my command …i created a winter bloom series that i will be sharing with you for the next few days. i hope you enjoy these mini inspirations.

for the first winter series board i choose the ever popular poinsettia flower but with a twist- it’s pink instead of the typical red or white.  can you picture a pretty pink winter wedding or {bridal shower} with delicious macarons and sparkly dancing shoes?

{colors} pale pink, white lace, gold glitter

the blogworld is going gaga for pink and gold.

i spotted this elegant oscar party table from {sunday suppers} last month.  i love the glittery tablecloth, pink salt and popcorn balls...

{martha stewart weddings} winter issue also featured pink and gold sparkly wedding ideas.

glittery die-cut stars create a untraditional aisle and dressed up this lucite chair.

livy from {a field journal} created this romantic gilded garland table number printable for {project wedding}.
