I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I wanted to kick off the week with a gorgeous reader inspiration board. Designed by Nina, I really fell in love with this board. It’s not only her beautiful color palette (which I am a HUGE fan of), but it’s her sense of restrained elegance that I am completely drawn to…

So here is my interpretation of a hot pink color palette, with touches of black and white…all inspired by the Erlikh prints that I posted earlier today….

I have spent the last few nights fixing up our guest room and scouring the internet to find great prints for its very bare walls. I have been a long time fan of Edward Erlikh’s sketches and watercolors, so I have been dreaming about the day that I can hang some of these. I am especially in love with the bold, hot pink pieces…with touches of black and white. So of course, it got me thinking about wedding palettes.

What if we used these...

Another inspiration board for you to devour! This one from a real wedding done by reader and recent bride, Danielle, that in my opinion, is completely and absolutely beautiful. I kind of think that my new favorite color is lime green, thanks to this gorgeous board!

Today I wanted to feature a few of the reader inspiration boards that I have received over the last few weeks. The first one comes from Megan, who is looking to design a somewhat non-traditional affair hosted at this amazing winery, overlooking the mountains…

After the ceremony, the party will retire to a farmhouse hotel for a light country-style buffet. Megan is wearing her mother’s wedding dress, altered a bit. Instead of a wedding cake, she is going to serve...

Lisa at Oh How Charming! has yet again, come thru in the clutch, with some oh-so-fab details about the gorgeous wedding from earlier today!

This wedding was held at the beautiful Maroma Resort & Spa in the Riviera Maya. Cathy and Steve wanted a super organic wedding, but also wanted to mix in as much traditional Mexican decor as possible. They wanted the wedding to have a fairly under-produced and authentic vibe. To accomplish this, we utilized as many local resources and...

Designed by the magnificent Lisa Vorce at Oh How Charming! and shot by the wonderfully talented Elizabeth Messina, this wedding was so well executed, it’s almost...

A few weeks ago, I drove to NY to do an on camera interview with Get Married TV on the Lifetime network. The piece was shot in none other than the studio of Christian Oth Photography…a photographer that I have admired for some time now. Aside from the fact that Christian and his colleagues were so kind, the studio itself was in a word…gorgeous. Some of the most spectacular photographs that I have ever seen adorned the...
