Some notes from Emily…
In this board, I tried to blend together all of the different elements the reader was looking for: elegant (the pearls, the monogrammed umbrella), preppy (the polka-dot tie and bouquet wrap), vintage (the cake), shabby chic (the fluttery, ruffly blooms, the urn), and rustic (the hanging lanterns). It’s a lot to mix together, but she made a great pick with the vineyard setting and the raspberry and white – I think it can work! If she wants to work in some DIY details, I would suggest vintage monogrammed handkerchiefs for the moms or bridesmaids, rustic wooden signs to direct guests, and a sweet or savory treat to send guests off at the end of the night (donuts and coffee, mini chocolate chip cookies and milk, or personal pizzas and vintage bottles of coke or lemonade would do the trick).
I love this board. What I like is that she really implemented what the bride wants - elegant, preppy, vintage, shabby chic and rustic and explained it really well. It all came out beautifully! I can't wait to see other ideas
I love this one as well!!! :)
Emily did a great job of incorporating what the bride wants and I can easily picture this wedding in beautiful Charlottesville, VA!
I think this board is my favorite so far! Perfect! And I think it's a dead-on response to the bride's needs: lovely details, preppy feel, beautiful vineyard backdrop ... just elegant and timeless!
Okay, this is my new favorite. I think it merges the shabby chic and vineyard pefectly, while focusing on the little details that the bride is worried about.
I love the candles in the tree - this one's my favorite!
I vote for this lovely little board! Obviously :)
this one is gorgeous!!!
This board is absolutely beautiful. I love the color scheme and the way the different elements blend together. Also, the view over the tables is absolutely breathtaking. All in all, my fav!
This board is wonderful--from the raspberry-colored bridesmaid dresses to the wine glasses arranged in rows (like a vineyard!) this is definitely a wedding I want to attend!
I love this one! I know Emily didn't pick the color scheme, but I love the color of the bridesmaids' dresses. I also love the candles in the trees! I vote for this one.

I love this board! The color scheme is wonderful along with the mixture of the beautiful rustic lanterns to the elegant pearls. I absolutely love it!
This board does the best job of meeting the bride's requests. It definitely gets my vote.
This one is my favorite of all of them! It's beautiful, and seems to get at everything the bride wanted.
This is definitely the best. Emily clearly knows what she is doing. Great layout and choice of pictures. Also: clearly paid attention to the needs/desires of the bride-to-be, which is essential.
This is my strongest pick, despite the fact that I think the "treats" at the end felt a little forced. Still, this layout seems well coordinated and looks like a cohesive wedding. Props to Emily on her excellent board.
The little details make this board beautiful; Emily has great taste. Her selections fit the brides requests and will certainly provide inspiration! It gets my vote!
This lovely board definitely gets my vote! Its photograph selection perfectly suites the wedding's theme!
This board is so beautiful! The textures and compositions are striking.
Ooooo this one's the winner - I can't get enough of that cake (or that entire MSW wedding!). It gets my vote.
The balance between playful and formal, rustic and refined, and pops of color on classic black & white lend this board effortless appeal. Gorgeous!
Classic and timeless. Exquisite taste and certainly inspirational. I love the details - the parasol, the polka dots, the pearls...
It would be a dream to have a wedding like this! I love it!
The board is clearly well-thought out and Emily has put together a very chic and beautiful embodiment of the bride's desires. Well done and my fav!
These websites are new to me, but I suppose there's a brand new world once you're engaged. And, I must admit, I can't picture a more perfect wedding than this one (er, board). This totally looks like a setup that goes way beyond the wedding but to all pre and post events as well. High Five Emily!
nice job, emily. wish i'd seen some of these ideas a few months ago!
