Inspiration

I haven't created an inspiration board, and as fun as it seems, I don't know if I'll have time to do it.

But I love Snippet & Ink for its inspiration. Who doesn't?

This inspiration is delicious and red:

As lovely as this board is, I think it's more summery, which might seem out of place at our late spring wedding.

This inspiration is a lovely and subtle white with gold and cream:

This post is too soft (or something) for our personalities, and somehow wouldn't feel like "us". I do love the soft colours, and I would be thrilled to attend any event inspired by it!

What do you think?

This is more of a middle ground, but it seems like it's white, with some yellow and just a tiny bit of red for mandatory colour. It's also not quite "us", so I may have to keep looking at inspiration boards.

It's hard work, quite tortuous actually, but I'm willing to put in the effort for the greater good. I'm sure I'll drool over do lots more tedious research in the near future!

More Red Inspiration

As much as I like the ivory/cream with gold and a hint of red ... I keep finding myself drawn to these bold palettes of red and ... aqua-blue:

Source: the knot (where they call it "pool & red")

Source: Snippet & Ink (called here "aqua & poppy")

All that glitters is not gold ...

Although I love the gold and cream inspiration, I think a hint of red will really give a punch of colour. These red inspiration boards, all taken from Snippet & Ink, show the brilliance that red can add. (Click on the link to view the source. Click on the picture to view a larger picture.)

Love Triumphant (very much a Valentine's Day inspired fête):
Red Velvet (rich reds, ivory, and a hint of gold):
Carnival Ride (red with white, golden yellow and just a touch of blue):


Doesn't the red just add a little punch of fun?
