Real Wedding Details & Inspiration Boards

posted on: August 31, 2009

I love all of the amazing inspiration boards that are put together by designers- it's such a beautiful display of possibilities. However, when I was a bride, I also loved seeing what real brides had done. Brides who had to work on a budget or for whom the crystal chandelier in the tree wasn't going to be a practical reality. So, a while ago I decided to start doing inspiration board style layouts of wedding details from real weddings. There are about a dozen here and while many revolve around strong color combinations, sometimes more subtle themes emerge from the set of details as well. One thing is for sure, I can't wait to see what creative details the lastest brides come up with!!

    First time to visit your site....VERY inspirational! I second the question: how do you make up these story boards? Another question would be: How do you print them out and display them? (regular photo paper and frame them?, or maybe with a stiff backer board?) Thanks for sharing!! Diane
