Real Wedding Details & Inspiration Boards
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!!
these are gorgeous!! i love "inspiration" boards from real weddings :) they are a great testament to how much work people put in to make the day cohesive and special.
ReplyDeleteI like the creative boards.
ReplyDeleteAnne, these are one of my favorite things that you do!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutley beautiful! When I was planning my wedding this is the kind of stuff I was looking for. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I love these! Especially the green one (#2) and the pink one (#5). For some reason I am really into hot pink lately. :)
ReplyDeleteLove love love seeing these on your blog posts. What program do you create these "boards" in?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea... too true... bridal magazines have great ideas if you have BILLIONS of dollars to spare, but I like this REAL stuff :)
ReplyDeleteI love the detail boards! I hope one day my ideas will come up in one of your posts!! And Justin asked me why we would want pictures of all the "details"???!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, I just looooove your boards!
ReplyDeleteYou have an awesome site!
ReplyDelete- Bri
Awesome details Anne! Love this post!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop looking at these! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are just amazing!!
ReplyDeleteFirst 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
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly fantastic post!!!! This is almost better than a bridal mag. I may just point my brides here when they need inspiration :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my! These are gorgous! You've got a great eye for detail!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the pink!
