Inspiration for your road to the altar

You all know that I love the inspiration boards Gia creates on Flights of Fancy, and I think this one might be my new favorite! The color palette is so soft and ethereal, and there is definitely an element of whimsy to the entire look. I just love the idea of structuring an entire wedding around a carousel – beautiful and fun at the same time!

We’re starting to see the smallest hints of fall around here, and this gorgeous image from Darling Dexter makes me feel like curling up with some soup and a blanket. The palette is so warm and rich – I kind of want to use this for paint colors! {Image from Darling Dexter}

Katie and Brian’s wedding day started out with rain but cleared up in time for a lovely outdoor ceremony. The landscape blended perfectly with their vibrant color scheme, which translated especially well into their paddle fan programs! The couple was engaged at the Eiffel Tower, so incorporated a touch of France into their escort card holders as a nod to their engagement. Katie and Brian gave away “nuptial ale” as favors, complete with a picture of them on the label and personalized pint glasses. And don’t miss the texture in their beautiful wedding cake…love it!
