From Jenny…

My board is inspired by the vineyard location and the shabby chic theme the bride was looking for. I think this bouquet is a beautiful raspberry color and with the matching shoes, so elegant. I picture chandeliers hang from the trees, and the tables have different fabrics that pick up the raspberry colors with different vases, candles, etc in the center. I think variation in the tables will help for that “shabby chic” look. For some fun details, I was thinking a photobooth. They are popular now, guests love them, and you will have some great photos. I also like the element of incorporating silhouettes of the bride and groom – whether it be hanging them on a string at the reception and/or using them on the invitations. For favors, these raspberry boxes add a touch of elegance and you can include something that is important to you as a couple – a favorite dessert, something from your hometown, or something special for the two of you.

    I Loooooove this one. My favorite so far. Chandeliers, silhouettes, and those flowers! Great details. Also love the idea of a photo booth. You got my vote.

  2. WOW, this is gorgeous!! I love the table centerpieces, I get so bored with the same flower arrangements on an army of perfectly matched tables. I'm a big fan of the photo booth, too - for sure not just for prom anymore! Much easier way to get pics of everyone at the event than having the bride and groom stand by each table with that same grin in every shot ...

    This has my vote!

    I love the chandelier, the brides pink shoes and the simple yet earthy feel of the table centerpieces combined with the pop of pink in the bouquets and bridesmaid dresses. I also dig the photo booth idea and fortune cookie favors.

    This one is my favorite!

    Love the feel of this one. Wonderful combination of vintage details, especially the idea of chandeliers, and modern color splashes of bright raspberry color. Just something special about this combination of details.

    Absolutely love Jenny's taste. Beautiful details and I just adore the chandeliers. This has my vote!

    I've checked out the 25 boards posted so far and I think this one gets it right. She really listened to what the bride wanted, but made it even more dreamy. I wish I was planning my wedding in a vineyard!! This would totally be my inspiration.

  14. Lauren says:

    The silhouettes were done by my husband Karl. He is a 3rd generation silhouette artist and was hired by the bride to cut silhouettes of all of the wedding guests. Thanks for showing them on your blog! If you would like to put a link to our site it is www.cutarts.com.

    This is definitely the best. Great layout and choice of pictures.It looks like a piece of art! Also clearly paid attention to the needs/desires of the bride-to-be, which was the whole point.

  16. Allison says:

    LOVE IT!! This board has everything the bride asked and her descriptions are spot on. I love the photo booth idea and the silhouettes. Favors are cute also - and something people would like which is important. Get's my vote!

    SO many great boards, but this one hits the mark - sounds like what the bride wanted. It is also a gorgeous board - looks like a piece of art - I'm sure she would want her wedding like that. Two thumbs up!!

    I want to buy a new iPhone. But all files I have are not in Iphone supported formats. So I think software TuneCab will help me to convert them to iPhone. Did anybody try it?
