Most of the questions that I get tend to revolve around color palette dilemmas.

The last day of our Inspiration Board Contest is here! And may I just say…what a lovely job everyone has done. I originally built this site for a few reasons…the first simply being that I wanted to continue to surround myself with all things pretty. The second though, was to help brides (and wedding junkies) see that weddings can be so much more inspired than what you might see in a magazine or on a massive website.
