Inspiration Board, XXXIV

January 27th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 16 comments

At this point, it would have been much easier to list these boards as numbers rather than roman numerals, BUT…xxxiv is our last inspiration board! If yours didn’t make it up, and you got it in by January 21st and had all of your credits listed, shoot me an email and I’ll get it up asap.

Otherwise, leave a comment as to which of the boards is your absolute favorite. I am going to ask the reader who inspired these inspiration boards to vote and along with my own vote, we’ll come up with a winner. Look for the announcement on Monday, February 2nd.

Here is our last entry by Corbin…

From Corbin…

In thinking about using raspberry and white as a starting point, I like the idea of fading a pale pink into the florals to create a sort of transition from the darker rose to white.  Using a natural fibered linen acts as a subtle backdrop and gives a little bit of dimension against the white tones so they pop from the table settings.  I love complimenting a new gown with vintage touches – antique ring boxes, a gorgeous piece of embroidered fabric turned into a ring pillow, or a soft floral headpiece.  To me, shabby chic says texture and layering fabrics, working off of an antique vase, even wearing a gown with lace or beaded details works well with this aesthetic.  I hope you enjoy the board.

    This totally captures the vineyard motif and original raspberry color theme. Such a beautiful and thoughtful group of images with a lovely sense of vision. You saved the best for last in my opinion!!

    Everything about this is delicious! This is an elegant group of images that together create a lovely vision. Not overly matchy-matchy, just well selected elements that create a beautiful stage for a beautiful day!

  7. I love the country feel to those modern colors. Your inspiration boards are innovative and stylish. I love every time one pops up!

  8. Marge says:

    I like the overlay of the old and the new within this board. An eclectic mix of texture and tone...you can tell the photographer has an eye for layout -- her aesthetic seems to have evolved seamlessly over time. What a visual pleasure!

  9. Bridget says:

    Corbin is absolutely the most talented wedding photographer I have ever come across. The way she makes each piece of work so personal for the bride never ceases to amaze me! She really has a way of making each piece of work seem so effortlessly beautiful.

  12. Kristina says:

    This last board, XXXIV, is my favorite - it really has a rustic look. So beautiful - it gets my vote!

  13. Rebecca says:

    The bride couldn't ask for a better style board than this one! It shows the attention to detail and acknowledges all of her requests. As a current bride, what more can you ask for? I also love that while she has incorporated shabby chic, it is still very upscale and polished. This is perfection!

  14. You continue to astound me. And just who was your mentor? Laughiing. I love you. And so proud of you.
