I’m sure most everyone did. Abby will tally the votes in a fair manner, and even if she didn’t, it’s her blog. This is suppose to be fun people. Relax and let Stacy enjoy her popularity.

Comment by Kaitlin on 3 August 2007:
Wow. Super-gorgeous stuff going on here. It’s hard to decide. Can I tell you a couple of my faves? Stacy’s (#24) beach affair is pretty close to what I had for my May wedding, so I’m in *love* with it and of course I think it’s awesome. #5 - Kay’s picnic - such fun. I’d love to have a party every spring or fall with decorations like that, or Meghan’s garden party - #17. It seems a shame to only use these ideas once! I want to be crafty and chic and throw great parties more often
Comment by amy on 3 August 2007:

Comment by Amanda Conley on 4 August 2007:
#24 stacy “If I were going to do it all over again” is my fave! I love the ocean blues and golden yellows!
Comment by cyndi on 4 August 2007:
They are ALL gorgeous and it was very hard to decide. My top three were #9 (Liana), #17 (Meghan) and #30 (Angela). However, since I need to vote for only one…my favorite was #9 (Liana’s Big Sur Wedding). Hopefully one day I’ll be lucky enough to be invited to such a pretty affair!
Comment by roderick on 4 August 2007:
#27 - Shannon
Comment by Ana Maria on 4 August 2007:
You know, I agree with the above comments. Not to seem malicious or petty, but I don’t know why Stacy has so many votes. Lynn, Meghan, etc…lots of effort put into finding elements from different sources, but I don’t find the same amount of work put into Stacy’s.
It doesn’t make a difference, but I’m not voting for anyone. It just doesn’t seem fair.
Comment by Corrie on 4 August 2007:
#12 Amanda’s Wedding. Although, I almost went for Stacy’s.
Comment by Corrie on 4 August 2007:
#12 Amanda’s although I almost went for Stacy’s. I love this site.
Comment by Laura on 4 August 2007:
I vote for Sarita’s Chic, Spanish Affair! the combination of colors and textures create the perfect ambiance of elegance, flair and celebration. Reds combined with yellows and oranges… and then lace to hold it all together. Perfection!
Comment by Abby on 4 August 2007:
Stacy’s board is beautiful!! I think that the color palette is stunning and her simplicity feels really elegant to me. I was in awe of these boards. Separately, each one is basically perfection.
I am going to save my vote until the end, but honestly, I love all of them and any one of these boards could win. I will tally the votes as fairly as possible, counting each vote one at a time. At the end of the day, this was a great way to develop your creativity, to understand a palette that you might not have liked before, to really see how diverse and colorful a wedding can be. So, each and every board is perfect in it’s own way. Okay, a bit cheesy, but true!

4 - Katherine, 5 - Kay, and 26 - Kris are my top 3 in terms of design, color, and inspiration. They are decidely different. But my VOTE goes to Kay’s Casual Summer picnic, which looks stylish and fun - the colors pop and the elements are festive and family oriented.
Comment by Kelli on 4 August 2007:
I think I messed up, I voted under the comments for inspiration board contest day 4 (as did several other people, so you may want to look at the other days as well). Just to clarify, my vote is for Stacey, # 24
