Hi LOVE the second board with golds, ivory colors!!! I am getting married October 16th, 2010 in Big Sur, CA around sunset, and outdoors. I love natural, cozy, yet elegant colors.
love the board in ivory and golds! so simple and classy, yet run-of-the-mill in no way! i'm getting married on 5/15/10
Definitely a fan of board #2...you had me at kraft paper! Our wedding is May 15, 2010 and we are just about to order invites. Justin and I have rented my old sleepaway camp in the mountains of NC for our rustic, playful (and hopefully beautiful) spring wedding.
I LOVE the second board! It is vintage and country but the colors are soft and classic, very much like my wedding "French Country Garden". I will be getting married June 12, 2010 in Orlando, Florida at a house built in the 1920's. Almost the entire thing will be outdoors with the house and a lake as a backdrop to what I'm sure will be a beautiful, classic affair :)
I love the second one because of the color scheme. my wedding is April 24, 2010 in Baltimore, MD and I've just started looking at invites (I know...I'm a little behind!)
good morning! i adore inspiration board #2 - it is chic in a "this wedding is going to represent who we are now and who we were as children" kind of vibe. our wedding is september 4, 2010 in oceanside, ny...labor day weekend so we will be pulling in elements of summer and fall.
board number 2, love the gold's and ivories....so romantic with the perfect amount of vintage appeal!
Love the second board! The colours and textures feel simple and elegant...exactly what we want for our wedding by the lake in Toronto, on August 8, 2010.
I love the muted tones of board #2. It complements the color and feel we're going for at our Friday August 13, 2010 wedding in a barn outside Chicago. Lots of neutrals, except for flowers from my mother's garden, a little country, a lot elegant and relaxed. Thanks for the offer!
The second board is my favorite. I love the vintage look and simplicity of design. I'm getting married at a private home in Kenwood, California on September 18, 2010. The home is fabulous, filled with French antiques and located on 75 acres of property with vineyard views. I'm going for a rustic-chic look that fits perfectly with the 2nd board.
Like everyone else so far, I'm going with board number 2. Wedding date: November 20th 2010, which will be sunny spring in Australia!
They are both so beautiful in their own way - I am sure each person who looks at these boards gets something different from them - letting their personality seep into the images. I am inspired by the second board due to its natural hues which would work perfectly with our wedding this September 26, 2010 in the hills of Northern New Jersey.
How fun is that second board! We're going for pretty+fun and this board does the trick (kudos to the designer). Our wedding is May 22, 2010 at an Estate in Charlotte, NC.
Board No. 1 ....fresh, beautiful, different, simply gorgeous!! Our spring wedding is in Ireland at Trinity, Dublin where I met my lovely other ten years ago :)
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.....(part our of traditional old blessings over here).
Brancoprata - I really love this board because it is both vintage inspired and whimsical, which is what we are trying to achieve in our wedding. Our colors are chocolate and champagne, which also matches the hues within this board. We are getting married on Saturday, July 31st at Hammond Castle in Gloucester, MA.
The second board by Bancoprata is absolutely more my taste. While the first board has that "punch" of color and is visually striking, the delicate sophistication of the second board has the subtle elegance I love. MY wedding will be held November 21, 2010 in the suburbs of Chicago, IL.
I am in love with the second board, it is inspiring more idea for my wedding :), which will be June 12th, 2010 in Sackville, NB Canada :) Our venue is a 150 year old Barn that's been restored, I refinish antique and vintage furniture (they look alot like the pieces in the inspiration board)as a hobby and some will have their day of fame and find their way there to add to the decor. The look we are going for is Rustic meets vintage meets antique I call it Rustagetique and the colour palette we are using are creams, peaches, light pinks, mint greens.. very creamy colours.
WOW what a hard decision to make...there are things I love about both boards, but since I have to pick one, I'd say the second. I love the vintage appeal it has and the baby animal is a plus. HA
We are getting married October 16th in Frisco, NC.
I like the natural tones and soft colours of the second board. [If the first board was blue and red then I would have jumped on that wagon!] I'm getting married on the Swan River in Perth on the 20th November 2010.
The colors in the first set are beautiful, but I LOVE the second set the most. It's so sweet and adorable. It's absolutely perfect. - Getting married September 25th, 2010 in Minneapolis, MN.
I love the second board, and it would match my colors perfectly!
I am getting married in my hometown of Goshen, Indiana October 16. We are getting married in a church that has been converted to a single family home and having a second line (ala New Orleans) to our reception. Our reception is being held on the second floor of a building my grandfather owns that features tin ceilings, hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows.
I love the greens in the first board. I'm getting married in Franklin, NC on September 4, 2010, the perfect setting for a mountain wedding.
I love the first board by PIgna Amor. It is so tender, bright, and love the vintage and handmade touches. The little heart leaf is adorable! I am getting married on October 2, 2010 in Mankato Minnesota. Perfect colors for a harvest time wedding!
Board #2 is gorgeous. I love the shabby/chic vibe. We're getting married on December 18th, 2010 in Toronto.
The Brancoprata board is absolutely stunning! I love every single thing about it! Our wedding is Oct. 23, 2010 and it's in an urban loft space in downtown Kansas City with honey-colored floors and twinkle lights wrapping around exposed rustic wooden beams. It's absolutely breathtaking!
I definitely love borad #2. It's very chic and vintage. My wedding is on July 5, 2010 in Sonoma, CA. My finacee and I fell in love with the wine country when we first visited it. It's so beautiful and the food and wine are superb!
I LOVE the second board!!!!
I had the feeling to go aaaaaaall the way back to my grandma's house where I used to play with the "dinette" (I don't know the english word for it) - those tiny little cups you have when you are a child. They looked just like the cups you chose! I used to make my rabbit some tea and little "grass-cookies" (no, I never tried them!) and to play for hours like this! When I would come back, the whole house would smell like one big tarte aux pommes, we would read books very similar to those on your inspiration board and eat that apple pie in the garden. I really cherrish those moments that were completely out of the time...
Thank you for bringing back this sweet memory to me with your pictures! They are even more valuable to me as my grandmother now has altzheimer and can't remember all of this by herself. A few months ago I gave her a "memory-book" where the whole family can write down memories they have with her and leave pictures. I will print out your board and write down that exact same memory you managed to bring back for her. Thank you so much, I feel like I'm 8 again :-)
I'm getting married in Paris on the 13th of August this year.
I love the first inspiration board! Makes red and green modern and clean rather than just recalling a frumpy Christmas. I can imagine some wheatgrass centerpieces with red gerbera daisies sticking up. Date and place: June 4, 2011, San Francisco.
The second board is very much in line with the look and feel we are shooting for! Getting married on September 11th, 2010 (we're New Yorkers and looking forward to making a sad day smile again!) outside on my favorite lake in Maine. Natural yet elegant is our theme, with browns, ivories and muted metallics being the featured colors in an effort to let the beautiful scenery speak for itself. Kraft paper and twine are being integrated throughout, so the beautiful paper shown on this board speaks to me! What an amazing offer, thanks for the opportunity.
Like so many others, I love the second board. I love it because, coincidentally, it contains so many of the elements I'm planning for my own wedding. Our wedding colors are champagne and frosty blue so all of the creamy golds on this board fit my personal aesthetic perfectly. I also really love the use of books since my almost-husband and I are both big bookworms and we're planning to work books into our centerpieces and give them out as favors. The whole board has a warm, cozy, and yet classy and fun feel, which is what I'm hoping for on our wedding day. The date is January 8th, 2011. We're having a church wedding and then a reception at a hotel in Rockville, Maryland.
Wow - both boards are beautiful, but my vote goes for Brancoprata's. It is such an inspiration for our wedding, both in terms of color palette and style. The blush pink, sage green and chocolate brown tones are what we'll be using in our wedding and it has always been our goal to stay true to our personalities by incorporating a playful and youthful feel (but in a grown-up way!) throughout our special day. I work with children and my fiance is a freelance cartoonist -- we really are big kids at heart! Our wedding website incorporates a lot of his illustrations of the two of us as well as our wedding style: www.aprildavewedding.com. We'll be getting married at V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena, California on July 4, 2010. We're just about to start the invitation process and this would be such a big help -- thanks for offering this giveaway!
Hands down, that first board is *so* stunning! The colors are amazing, the style is clean/streamlined but fun, and those frilly details mixed with the natural-vibe I'm getting -- love it, I think the invitations would be fabulous! We're planning a convalidation ceremony (Catholic church ceremony to recognize a civil ceremony) + small reception to follow in June 2011 in Austin, TX -- I can't wait to see what Molly dreams up with either of these boards!
Leave it to SMP to have the most creative wedding collaboration giveaway I've ever seen. Paisley Quill + Style Circle + Giveaway? Seriously, FANTASTIC!
The second board is my literally my heart. The tea cups, rustic simplicity, scrumptious dessert, and Little Bo Peep au coture? Could I ask for anything more perfect for my wedding day? We are getting married on Friday June 10th, 2011 at the Codman Estate in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The estate is beautifully simple, in the New England fashion, but entirely understated and with neighboring farm and fields, it remains unpretentious. We are having a morning wedding in the Italian Garden, followed by a tea party and afternoon festivities. This inspiration board is exactly the feeling we are aiming to evoke.
Paisley Quill has been on my dream list since I first laid eyes on Molly's work. It would be a dream come true to have our invitations designed by her. We are artists, and budget is too small to buy invitations (we're planning on making them), so winning this giveaway would make my heart flutter with joy.
I love the soft tones of the second board! The board just screams I love you, lets get married and decorate! I'm a sucker for the romantic soft pink mixed with the dark brown hues. This board + Paisley Quill = Head over heels LOVE!!
I love board #2! It goes so well with the feel of our wedding. October 16, 2010 Chicago, IL
I love the teacups and children's books in the second board. Our wedding will be June 5, 2011. We live in Chicago and will be married in Williamstown, MA in a very small ceremony (Just 5 people!) and then traveling immediately back to Michigan to be with family and friends. Lots of traveling! I really think that a spectacular invitation suite will help to make the whole experience for our party guests a little more tangible considering we'll be married in almost private.
I am in love with the board by Brancoprata. I'm getting married May 31 in Washington DC. My reception is at the little neighborhood french restaurant where my fiance took me for a champagne brunch before he proposed. I love the chic look of the board - especially the children's books all stacked up. I'm very close to my brother's children and am having my 3 year old nephew and 1 year old niece walk down the aisle hand in hand as ring bearer and flower girl. I was going to have my mom make my invitations, but I would love to save her the work and win some gorgeous designer ones!
I'm throwing my vote in for board #1 - great use of vibrant color while still bringing a simple beauty to the scene. I could totally see a similar vibe for our earthy wedding on August 28th this summer in St. Paul, Minnesota. We are going for simple and elegant but with lots of color, personality and fun! Its going to be a celebration and we are not going to tone it down, darn it!
I love the 2nd board. The vintage, whimsy and fairytale concepts of it are absolutely ideal and are definitely incorporation worthy with the wedding concepts I've been tossing around in my head. We're planning a garden wedding with some victorian and mad hatter (alice in wonderland) overtones. Romantic, chic, and most importantly: fun.
Our wedding is going to be March 12, 2011 at The Lace House in Columbia, SC.
I love the second one. It has a nice, soft feel perfect for an October 23, 2010 wedding in New Mexico.
I'm going to go against the crowd and say I love the first board. I love the fresh, bright, succulent colors, the playfulness. It's natural and fun, with a sheen, just like I want my wedding to be. My date: Nov. 7, Charleston, SC.
I love the first. So vivid and sharp. The scheme would also go perfectly with my autumn wedding at Mount Juliet on 2nd October, Thomastown, Co Kilkenny IRELAND
I am in love with the "fairest of them all" board. How gorgeous! It is exactly what I have been looking for - whimsical, vintage and cozy all at the same time. We're getting married in October this year and I absolutely can't wait to be a Mrs.
I love the bright, crisp reds and greens of the first board, They put me in mind of Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples -- which is precisely why I picked this color scheme for my autumn wedding to be held Oct. 3, 2010. And, as it happens, the poppy red Jenny Yoo dress pictured is the bridesmaid dress that I just chose this past Saturday for my attendants.
Board #2! Getting married on the side of a mountain outside Asheville, NC and the colors and vision of this board match our slightly wild (as in wild nature), free spirit approach to our wedding.
I love the soft colors in the second board! I am loving weddings with neutral tones lately. In fact, I have decided to go with neutral colors for my own wedding because of the beautiful weddings that I have seen on SMP. I'm marrying the love of my life on June 26, 2010.
Clever details are always a hit and Inspiration Board #2 is sophisticated and chic...yet playful. I adore the natural tone and its vintage eligance.
I love shopping at Anthropologie and this inspiration board reminds me of the stores imagination and style.
I am getting married on Labor Day weekend, Saturday September 4th 2010. We have an afternoon Catholic ceremony, then the wedding party gets driven by an old world San Francisco trolley to my favorite lake for a vintage photoshoot and an evening of dining and dancing at a restored Mansion in downtown Buffalo, NY fill follow!! I am so incredibly excited in anticipation of such a wonder ful day and this giveaway would complete my dream wedding!
As much as I love the first one, I would definitely have to vote for #2. I love the colors, the vintage quality, and any inspiration board that includes a stack of books! I am getting married July 10, 2010 in Cincinnati, OH.
I love the vibrant color scheme of board #1. Our wedding will take place on August 7, 2010 at a private estate in Kauai, HI. The bright colors would perfectly compliment the tropical setting where our wedding is taking place. Also- the flower in the top left corner looks exactly like the one I plan to wear in my hair! :)
I love the second one!! Probably because it's my wedding colors! :) We're getting married December 4th, 2010 (a rustic chic winter wedding!) at a gorgeous Tuscan inspired country club in Boulder City, NV! <3
I love the second board! Would go beautifully with our rustic garden wedding we are having in Easton, PA on July 11, 2010!
Wow im actually pretty torn on this one! I love the brown kraft paper of the second board by Brancoprata but the bright colours of the first one by Pinga Amor are so fun and fresh....
So the winning board for me...
*Drumroll please*
It's got to be number one!
So cute, so retro and perfectly adorable! My favourite colour is red and we are incorporating this into our wedding day scheme - imagine my delight if we could actually have REAL letterpress invitations to send out to our friends and family!
Me and my hubby to be live in London (England) with our beautiful newborn daughter and are planning our kitsch and fun British seaside wedding for 2011. Think: Rock candy in red and white stripes, Flowers in jam jars, Candy floss, Red shoes, Buttercream cupcakes, Fairy lights and a good handful of nature!
Ps: love the hairpiece and ring cushion so much I may just have to get myself making my own!
My heart belongs to inspiration board number 2!
Our wedding festivities will take place July 17,2010. Ivory, gold and green are going to be teeming throughout the space along with different hues of gray and blue. The Oldfield Vineyard will be the place where our journey begins. Its a beautiful vineyard that brushes up against the beach front to the bay. The ceremony will take place between the vines with reception to follow under the stars...seaside beneath a sprerry tent! I love sperry tents!
Our theme: organic vintage chic!
i adore board #1 !!!! so fresh. so simple. so different. i'm not your traditional bride, my mantra is - colour, colour, colour! what is life without a little colour. (of course, #2 is wonderful too, for different reasons!) we are tying the knot on December 3rd, 2010 in beautiful Peurto Morelos, Mexico. colour will be the theme of the day ;)
I love the second one. It's... sweet. The soft colors, the cups, the cake slices, the "baby"... all remind me of how the sweetest things are often so simple and have always been around. My wedding is on May 22, 2010 at Boscobel House and Gardens in Garrison, NY. I was planning to order my invitations next week :)
Oh pick the first one, I just love the colors.
I LOVE the Brancoprata board. My FH and I are getting married on April 16, 2011 in Key West, Florida. We are having a vintage Key West theme wedding. The reception is being held at Kelley's Carribean, which is an old Key West house that has been converted into a restaurant/event space.
We are having our party on the second floor, which feels like an enchanted tree house tucked away in paradise. On the landing area when you enter the upstairs space are beautiful built-in book shelves filled with old classic novels and a beautiful antique-framed mirror that hangs opposite the bar. I think this is why I feel particularly attached to Brancoprata board and its stacked books and the reference to "mirror, mirror" on the wall.
We are also planning on displaying a variety of cakes and pies on hobnail and ruffled milkglass cake stands that sit atop a weathered buffet table. The green teacups displayed on the board would perfectly accompany our guest's slice of key lime pie or wedding cake!
Also, if you know Key West, there are roosters that walk the streets, which really gives the place a vintagey-whimsical feel that we just fell in love with. I get the same feeling when I look at this board.
I LOVE love love the second board, that vintage feel and the creams and golds are what I will be using for my rustic chic wedding at Onteora Mountain House by Woodstock, NY. I am getting married on 09.10.11!
It is a raw wood event space that we will decorate with branches and white lights wrapped in cream fabrics. The centerpieces will be simple soft whites with tea lights. Very whimsical feel overlooking the Catskill mountains. Haven't decided on my bouquet yet, but I want the girls to wear a deep raspberry to add a pop of color to the day. The guys in navy blue suits with that raspberry pop of color in their ties.
Can't wait to see the final product!
I love the drama created by the first board. With my wedding not being until Summer 2011 (tentatively June 25th), I'm still sifting through all the different themes I'm inspired by every day, all of which hinge on finding that perfect reception hall (difficult in a city my size). However, this crisp palate is making me think that the outdoor wedding my fiancé wants on his family farm can air on the side of sophisticated (which I like) and not kitschy (which I hate).
I love the bright colors of the nature-inspired first board! My wedding is on May 15, 2010 in a vineyard in Georgia.
How could you not love Board #1??? It's perfection - the bright colors (omigod those shoes), it just yells FUN! Perfect for a non-traditional wedding.
Our date is set for May 2011. (Just got engaged, this May is too quick and I don't want a winter wedding!) :)
I love the 2nd board. Such great colors! My wedding is going to be in April/May 2011 in Chicago!
i absolutely LOVE the second one. the details are amazing: the distressed table under the tea cups, the fabulous apparel of the "bride" and even the little puppy! the muted, earthy colors give a beautiful vintage feel, which is what we're trying to go for. we're making DIY save the date cards out of a vintage photo of Chicago in 1955 (which is where we're getting married on October 3, 2010). The sepia tones of the photo go beautifully with the second inspiration board~ love love love it.
Both boards are beautiful but board 2 in particular spoke to me! The muted color and eclectic pictures are gorgeous and I hope I'll capture this feeling in my wedding. But... my favorite part was the children's books! I'm a teacher and we're hoping to incorporate that important part of my life into our day- we have several plans to use children's books in our ceremony and decor and this board really validated that idea for my fiance and I!
Both are beautiful, but the second board, without question - it is literally the embodiment of "warm & fuzzy", everything vintage & lovely! 9/18/10 I will be on a goat-filled farm in Atlanta, GA in my wedding dress, so obviously it biased me there as well! May have to steal that photo-op :)
Ahh! I love them both...but if I had to choose it would be the second board! I love the soft, gold tones. It gives the board a rustic feel. We are getting married in Austin on September 25, 2010. It is an outdoor lake wedding!!!
I love the vibrant color in the first board. My wedding colors are black and white, and I am still looking for inspiration on ways to add a pop of color. The first board inspires me to think more outside of the box. We are getting married in September 2010 in the beautiful state of Alabama!
#2. it would be perfect for our fall wedding on october 23rd in atlanta. i heart craft paper! i was already thinking of using that paper for our envelopes.
I love the second board.When I scrolled down and saw the second board my mouth dropped open with awe.What a perfect way to start off my morning.I fell in love with this board because it gave me a dreamy feeling...a feeling like I wanted to literaly jump off into the board from my laptop if that was possible.It gave me a cozy warm feeling with a vintage appeal and the kid..the baby goat made it all special.I'm also a sucker for the vintage books lately.I'm really trying to think of a way to incorporate them into my own wedding. I really like the clothing ensemble of the woman in the picture.It really just gives me a wonderful comfortable type of feeling and she wears it well. It is truly amazing how the cake slices and the books match so well.The pic of the cake style is a style that I most likely will go with for our choice in a wedding cake design.I'm a tea cup kind of girl also.I can never get enough of those.I love the way they look hehe!Please choose board number 2!Thanks so much for this giveaway.I am getting married July 16, 2011.We are getting married down by the Wynochee River in Montesano,WA.The main color of my wedding is fuschia.My theme is ecletic with a little bit of everything thrown in together...rustic...romantic...bling..vintage.You name it we got it!lol
The second!!! You are the fairest of them all! I love it. I just re-explained the story of snow white to my fiance. It would fit our wedding perfectly. 6/13/10 in mpls.
The second board's soft tones are beautiful. I love the rustic vintage feel! My fiance and I are getting married in Cincinnati, OH on August 21, 2010.
The second board is TO DIE FOR. The soft palette and vintage/ whimsical theme are exactly what I'm going for in my fall wedding. My dad is a farmer in Southern Arkansas, so we'll be holding the reception in my parents' yard with the farm as the backdrop. I'm using a lot of well-loved antiques and soft-hued fabrics, so I would LOVE to see how this translates into an invitation (plus I could never afford letterpress on my own).
The wedding is October 16, 2010 in McGehee, AR.
I can't wait to see what the lucky bride ends up with, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be me!
I LOVE the second board. On Nov. 6th I'll be getting married in CT and hope to achieve a chic glamorous feel that is a bit rustic.
I like the clean, crisp feel of the first board. The strong colors and crisp lines of this board make it feel contemporary, but personable. We are getting married at a beach house in Montague, MI on September 17, 2010. Our color scheme will represent the colors of the water, but will have the bold hues portrayed in the first board. We would like the day to feel clean and sohpisticated, but personable, relaxed and warm. This is the feeling I get from the first board.
#2 - the fairest of them all! i love how it just glows. my wedding is at a country club in mirabel, quebec, canada on june 13, 2010.
I love every single inspiration board on SMP - but I vote for board number 2 by brancoprata! it is so warm, tender, and dreamy! just the way my future husband makes me feel inside!!! i especially love the brown paper and colors of the board that perfectly match the DIY save the dates we made ourselves from recycled paper from former grocery bags! the colors are gorgeous and suite our vintage, understated yet chic style. plus we are huge animal lovers and will be throwing a completely vegan wedding in upstate new york (fairport) on september 5, 2010! i love the baby goat!!!
The second board is the perfect mix of classic and whimsical- which is just what I'm going for at my wedding. We are getting married July 31 on top of a desert mountain in the southwest, and the hardest part about the wedding for me so far has been the paper goods. I'm a total paper goods nerd, and I just don't have the budget to afford the quality that I want. No one understands why I care about the quality of the invitations so much, but I'm sure my fellow stationery and letterpress geeks would feel my pain! That said, I would feel so lucky to win beautiful invitations in the style of the second board. My wedding colors are all shades of ivory, beige, tan, cream... if it's neutral and dreamy, I'm all about it!
I LOVE the second (Brancoprata) board! My fabulous fiance and I are getting married July 16 in Dripping Springs, TX.
second board! Washington state on june 19!
Wow, they are both so lovely! Peter and I are getting married in Jordan, Ontario, at a Conservation Centre. With the colours of the barn and nature, we are making it pop with all of the beautiful bright colours of board number 1! Our July 2 date would be perfectly announced with the invitation that came out of that inspiration board :)
The second board is perfect! I love the natural whimsical look, I can hardly wait to see what you create based on the board! We are getting married 7.17.10 at a farm in N Georgia.
I am in love with Brancoprata's board with the muted, earthy colors! My fiance and I are getting married September 18th of this year in Anna Maria Island, Fl. Our ceremony and reception will be on the beach and we're looking at a more neutral color palette because we don't want to take away from the already gorgeous backdrop. The board has a very homey and intimate feel to it which is what we're hoping to accomplish because most of our guests will be traveling from up north. The children’s books add an innocence and pureness to the beyond dreamy board.
We're getting married on May 29, 2010 in Historic St. Mary's City, MD. The second board reminds me of our vision for our wedding: vintage styling, outdoorsy, soft, springy colors, and books! We're both avid readers, and we're asking, as gifts from all of our guests who'd like, for a book with a personal inscription.
Board #1--it's a sight for sore eyes in the middle of the winter, where everything is dull! I'm getting married in Santa Monica, CA in August.
I love the soft romantic palette of the second board. In fact I love love it. We're getting married October 9th at Rosario Resort on Orcas Island, Washington. I'm shooting for a similar feel for my wedding! Warm, somewhat vintage, very eclectic. Lovely!
I love board #1, but the vintage-y look of #2 just steals it for me. I think that a letterpressed invitation in slightly muted colors for #2 would be perfect.
We're getting married on August 14, 2010 in Toronto, ON.
I'm already married, so I'm not entering the contest (sniff) but I would love to see the first board transformed into an invitation!
I love the first style board by Pinga Amor because I am looking for exactly those green shoes! Our wedding has a "fresh" green concept and I love little green heart against the back drop of the grass. Our wedding is in Steamboat, Colorado on July 31st, 2010. I LOVE LETTERPRESS!
XOXO
Laura
i absolutely love the second - it's gorgeous. we're getting married in philadelphia, PA on august 21, 2010.
I like the first style board with the green and pink, and the wedding is in Steamboat, Colorado on July 31st, 2010.
Wow... I never imagined someone could put in a few pictures what I had pictured out for my wedding. Inspiration Board #1 is definitely what I'd been looking for. We are getting married in Argentina, December 18th at a vintage house which has all the tapestry in green and red... I was planning on having jars full of plums and white roses... Oh, and the cupcakes... they look so cute, I was actually going to bake the souvenirs myself, so this gives me a good idea!
Love the headpiece by the way... I want to get one like that for my e-session with Doug McGoldrick :)
They are both darling boards but the second is my fav! My fab fiance and I will tie the knot on March 5, 2011 at Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, GA surrounded by our family and friends! The second board illustrates our "inspiration words" for our wedding, which are romantic, comfortable, and whimsical. In making decisions for our big day, if something doesn't fit in with those three words it's out... and the second board is definitely IN!!
I think the second style board is precious. I like the creamy ivory and neutral tones that are complimented perfectly with the green mugs. I am getting married on New Year's Day 2011 (1.1.11). This mix of neutrals would compliment my warm winter wedding colors perfectly!
I love the first board. Its young, fresh, flirty, and so fun, plus, how much fun are those colors? I fell in love when I saw the cupcake!
Well I am crazy for that first board. I love the shape of the flowers that is echoed on the tray, headpieces, shoes and ring pillow. The antique white, plum and fresh green colors would resonate with the natural palette we'll have at our wedding--in early September (9-10-10) at an Oregon summer camp along the riverbanks. The subtle, but beautiful, details of the polka-dot bowl, the line drawings of trees and the scroll work on the tray's edge are elements that elevate these simple colors and components to wedding elegance.
The first board popped out at me right away - the bright greens and reds are so playful and fresh . . . and the red velvet cupcake on the vintage plate looks absolutely scruptious! This color green is one of the "theme" colors in my wedding.
Ron and I are getting married 10/30/10 in La Jolla, Ca. We've rented a 1920s mansion and will host about 60 of our closest friends and family. I can't wait! Squee!
Opps, I forgot to include my wedding date and location. We're getting married in Virginia Beach 9-11-10
I love the first one! It takes a common theme with the apples, but makes it fun and modern instead of just "orchard-y". Also, who can say no to those green shoes? I'm getting married in Glen Ellen, California on October 2nd, 2010 to the love of my life! I can't wait.
I am in LOVE with the second board. The soft colors--the pinks, neutrals and browns--give it such a romantic feel. Yet it is also very comfortable and approachable--exactly how a wedding should be. I am getting married on August 21, 2010 in Houston, Texas and hope my wedding has the same feel of this board: romantic, yet approachable.
I love the second board with the peach, ivory, and gold. . . those are the colors I'm planning on using in my wedding March 19, 2011 in Marietta, Georgia. Understated and elegant.
i loooovvveee the first board (even though it seems like most people are voting for the second?). The ivory and neutral colors look very elegant, but I am all about fun and bright colors. I was sold when i saw the big head piece and the bright green shoes (probably what i will be buying too!). My wedding is going to be in Vancouver, BC (Canada) on July 4th 2010.
Horray! I love board #2. The soft colors are so romantic and classic. I love the soft contrast of the reds and pinks of the books and the hint of green on end of the "ABC" book is amazing! The texture of the dress is amazing. It reminds me of a soft peony or garden rose...full of layers and complexity.
Chris and I are getting married in Geneva, IL on August 28, 2010 at a romantic, riverfront inn with an outdoor garden ceremony.
Ohhhhh, I love, love, LOVE board number two (with the baby goat)! The colors are soft and romantic, which is exactly what I want our wedding to look like! My fiance and I are getting married in Portland, OR on July 17, 2010. The wedding will be held on a garden terrace of one of the most gorgeous apartments buildings in the pearl district. Can't wait!! :)
Love, love, LOVE the second board. The romantic color pallete is exactly what we are planning for our June 25, 2011 wedding at the Richard Nixon Library.
I love red velvet and my fiance is part Irish so the lucky green works for us in the first board. 10.10.10!
I absolutely love the muted colors and vintage feel of the second board. It's pretty much exactly the vintage feel we're going for- we're getting married on June 19, 2010. The ceremony will be held in a historic opera house and the reception will be held in a restored company store of a tiny coal mining town. Love it!
I LOVE the second board. It's very similar to what we have in mind for our June wedding - elegant and romantic. We are getting married June 5, 2010 on the water in New Rochelle, New York.
I love the second board, the golds with the neutral tones make everything look so much softer and delicate. I'm getting married June 26, 2010 in Delray Beach, Florida.
Molly, your generous offer is very exciting....first time poster!
I love board #1 for the deep, summer green colour. My fiance and I'll be getting married August 14th in Connecticut in a leafy, green setting with gazebo. I imagine the flowers will have that plum color and peach, too.
I love the first one! Love that cupcake and all the tiny details in all the images! I'm getting married September 25, 2010 at an arts building in Bethlehem, PA!
This is an awesome giveaway!
I love the vibrant red and green colors of the first board, but the second board is more my taste. The ivory and gold muted colors match perfectly with my venue and dress. We're getting married in Waterloo, Iowa on July 31, 2010. Our venue is a recently refurbished 1930's supper club and the second board fits in perfectly with it. The lovely bride holding a baby farm animal also reminds me of getting married in Iowa!
i love love the second moodboard's style! (even tho it was tough to choose against those bright green shoes) i'm getting married 5/29/2011 in charlottesville, va.
I love the first one! The greens just pop! Getting married 12/4/10 in Vero Beach, Florida.
The second one is just beautiful, like cuddling with a cozy blanket and some dessert and tea, my kind of day! Our wedding is June 19, 2010 in our huge backyard and neighboring field, our chickens will be running around, lots of kids, hay bayles and live music and dancing. We're having pre-ceremony mingling with a signature cocktail and a bicyclye-catered gelato station, to get people relaxed and social prior to the rest of the evening. Thank you for the chance to win these!
Love the first one! It's so chic, clean, and JCrew (which is very much my thing!). Our DC wedding will be August 21, 2010!
Love Love Love the second board! The romantic, vintage, rustic vibe is exactly what I am going for with my wedding, which is August 7, 2010 in Hunting Valley, OH. We are getting married in the groom's parents' backyard/garden and then having a cocktail party style reception in an old tudor house.
The second board is a perfect reflection of the style that I'm planning to achieve for our August 14, 2010 outdoor wedding at a winery outside of Boise, Idaho - simple and laid back with lots of vintage charm.
I am using vintage books as part of my centerpieces and lots of vintage paper, including sheet music and book pages, throughout. I LOVE the kraft paper accents and the lovely hand lettering and will be including both. I adore the shabby chic tables...those are on the list as well. And if I could pull off a petting zoo, I would include one of those, too : ) I love love LOVE baby animals!
What a great giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity.
I love board #1! Getting married in my fiance's parents' backyard/garden with reception at the same site (in Seattle).
I love board number 2. pretty and classy. My wedding is September 11, 2010 in Steamboat Springs, CO.
Number two is absolutely gorgeous. Love the soft, muted tones and the overall feel. I am getting married in May of 2011 and are considering New Orleans , which is our home, or Napa. It is such a difficult decision. We are much older than the majority of the youthful couples that are featured on this wonderful and addictive blog, but we really want to have a party.
Definitely the first board! My wedding is August 28, 2010 in Portland, Oregon.
I love, love, love the Inspiration Board by Brancoprata!!! Our wedding is June 19th, 2010 in a suburb of Minneapolis, MN at my parent's home on the lake. We'll be getting married in a garden and have our reception in a tent. Our colors are peach and blue to represent the blue of the water and peach to represent the color of the sky during sunset - similar to the peach colors in Brancoprata's board. We live in San Francisco among eucalyptus trees and will be placing an eucalyptus leaf on each guests place setting. The green on the teacups reminds me of the color of the eucalyptus trees. I am in love with letterpress and would love to win inviations inspired by this board!!!
Board #1!! Planning a backyard bbq themed wedding. I see red and white checkered table cloth, carmel apples, strawberry shortcake, white daisies, green park, lovely RED shoes for me, white parasoles to shield my guest from the sun! August 14, 2010 in Fresno CAlifornia is my wedding date and place.
Definitely Board #2...much more of the vintage feel our wedding is going for. The date 09.05.10, the location TPC-Deere Run Silvis, IL.
Board Number One! I really love the vibrant and bold colors. It looks so fresh and exciting! Very modern. Yes, Board Number One!
My wedding is August 6, 2010. We're getting married in a grassy green location with a gazebo. My color is a muted marigold!
The second one seems so warm and inviting - just how I've pictured our wedding to be! Our big day is September 18, 2010.
I love the second inspiration board with the muted pinks and vintage feel. We are getting married on August 7th of 2010 in beautiful Albuquerque, New mexico.
I adore everything about board #2. We are getting married in a 1920's art deco Inn in Washington, DC on April 24, 2010.
This MUST be a sign...I just met with my baker this weekend and chose my wedding cake to mimic the cake shown in the 2nd inspiration board!!! I knew my wedding inspiration was vintage, but when I saw that cake, I love the whimsical aspect as well. My wedding will be held next June 19th in Santa Monica, CA. I have not been able to find invitations that I LOVE yet and this would make all my dreams come true!!!!!!!
I love the first board! The bold colors would be perfect for my wedding in Newport, Or on August 28, 2010.
The second board is way better. I love the quote about the fairest of them all, very ME! My wedding is on Feb 20, 2010. We are having a VERY intimate affair with just close family. Instead of invitations we will send out wedding announcments after the wedding. We are getting married at St. Franic and Anne Catholic Church, The same church my parents were married at. I am beyond excited.
Oh I loooove board #2!
I love love love the 1st board--the saturated colors, the fresh brightness of the green against the white and tan, with red lusciousness! Beautiful and so vibrant and fun! I want my wedding to feel like a bright summer night (even though it'll be february 26th--it's in key west florida, so it'll feel like summer to all the out-of-towners). It'll be held in the garden of the Hemingway House, with lots of fresh produce-inspired colors (the rich green of a lime's peel, the citrus-yellow of its fruit, the warm red of strawberries). All these things are in season in florida in february and we're trying to use as much local produce and flowers are we can. Thanks for the opportunity to win invitations to make our day even more beautiful!
I love the first one! The colors are so vibrant which would be perfect for my wedding in the Bahamas March 2011.
The second board is lush.....my name is Heather, my wedding is in Harare, Zimbabwe (Africa) on the 28th of August 2010. I am marrying my high school sweetheart, we have known each other for ten years (since I was 17).
love love LOVE the second board. chic, vintage, subdued yet stunning.
my wedding is july 2, 2010 with an understated yet striking scheme of browns, golds, creams, whites.
i would be HONORED and THRILLED to incorporate paisley quill invitations to my Chicago-burbs wedding.
ADORE the 2nd board! That shade of green on the teacups is gorgeous and is total muted elegance. Would love to incorporate a similar theme for our wedding this summer (July 3rd) in Sweden. Thanks for the opportunity :)
Board #1 - I think it would be more of a challenge to bring this board to life without looking to Christmassy. The 2nd board is too similar to all the recent "from inspiration to reality" photoshoots we've recently seen on SMP - don't get me wrong, they are beautiful, but something different would be nice.
I'm a fan of board #1. I like the bright colors that just say summer to me. I'm from Seattle so summer to me is bright greens, flowers blooming, and fun. I'm getting married next June in the Pacific Northwest.
Board #1 is cozy, elegant, and darling. Mary had a little lamb meets Alice in Wonderland. The earthy and delicate quality would blend well with our outdoor wedding.
Although I like the crispness of board #1, I have to be careful with reds and greens, seeing as my wedding is in December. I prefer the nuetral colors and vintage feel of Board #2. It is much more our style. We are getting married December 4, 2010 in New York City.
wow, I really don't know if I can choose a favorite! The first board lends a crisp vintage feel, while the second is still vintage, but much more romantic and whimsical. If I HAVE to choose, I will have to pick board 2. When I look at it, I feel as though this is how I want my wedding to be. Sweet and romantic with just enough whimsy to keep everyone guessing as to what else is to come. If I had an invitation suite based off of this board, it would be the perfect beginning to my perfect day!
Oh, and we are getting married June 13, 2010 in Austin, TX
Most definitely board #2! Reminds me of creme brulee! June 25, 2010 in Salt Lake City, UT
LOVE LOVE LOVE the second board with the storybook/nursery rhyme/children's book theme. I am a 4th grade teacher who mainly teaches reading and writing, and have a M.Ed in Reading - I love the incorporation of the books....priceless and TOTALLY ME!!! We are going to have children's story books on our tables at the reception. We'll be married in Charleston, SC on 6-25-11.
I love the second board the most. The muted, natural tones are the perfect backdrop for a wedding. There is a vintage elegance to the board and the inclusion of the baby lamb is perfect!
Jason I will get married on July 17th at Lake Tahoe in a beautiful meadow. We are incorporating a lot of natural elements and focusing on creating an elegant and intimate wedding. This style board definitely has a lot in common with us!
Yes, you're the fairest of all....love it! Who doesn't want that message and colors surrounding them on thier day!!
May 22, 2010
WEST VIRGINIA, ALMOST HEAVEN
Board #1 by Pinga Amor! The red and green makes me think of my own complimentary colour choices: aubergine and canary yellow :) Each item is its own block of colour, and together, they make a bold statement. I love the simplicity of the shapes - the apple, the heart, the round candy on top of the cupcake...elegant with a punch of colour. The big day will be in Toronto, Canada on July 17, 2010
I love board #1- wonderful complimentary colors that aren't used very often! Our special day is this June 25th, in Brooklyn Center, MN :)
The second board is gorgeous with the ivory and sepia tones, just like a vintage photograph! I love the classic style. It would suit my wedding perfectly! My dress is an ivory satin, and I'm planning a classicly beautiful wedding in a little church in Tuscany, right outside of Florence, on June 12th! I need to get my invitations out asap
As an American city girl marrying an Australian boy from a farm, board #2 represents not only our wedding but also elements of our lives and relationship. Our relationship developed and matured over countless cups of tea which is an element we are incorporating throughout the wedding process. The color scheme and the hand drawn/created feel would complement our save the dates through to the wedding favors. We are getting married in an old warehouse turned restaurant with a warm romantic atmosphere in Charlotte, NC on September 10, 2010.
The second board goes perfectly with the style of my wedding. I love it! We are having a vintage-esque wedding at a barn estate in the Hudson Valley in NY on Sept 18, 2010. I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out what to do for my invitiation because I want them to be beautiful without spending too much. This would be a dream come true. Thank you!
I love the soft colors in board #2. Very romantic! We're getting married in a garden in Atlanta, GA, 9/25/10. Thanks!
I love board #1, the colors are so fun and festive! We're getting married 11/12/10 in Healdsburg.
Board number two is so feminine & sweet. It totally reminds me of my fiance. She is in Brazil so she hasn't been able to do much planning for our wedding but I know she would love this. The colors are perfect and the board has a rad modern vintage feel to it. I think it would be perfect for our wedding on April 24th in our family friends back yard here in Los Angeles.
The second board is my cup of tea!!! It has that classic vintage yet soft romantic look that I adore! I will also be having a muted color palette of cremes, hints of antique gold and blush so it works perfectly. My wedding will be in October 2010 in at a garden setting resort & spa in San Diego,
The second board is just drop dead beautiful! It's so soft and dreamy. Our colors are sapphire, blush, and grey. Our wedding will take place on the roof of downtown San Diego in September 2011
I LOVE both Pinga Amor and Brancoprata! Their boards are always my favorites, so I this is definitely not an easy decision. However, I think Brancoprata's is just teeny bit better.
OOH ooh ooh! I LOVE number one. My wedding is going to be on a farm in Ann Arbor Michigan (september, 5, 2010), with a pomegranate theme. There is nothing "farmy" in the inspiration board but somehow the milk, the cupcake, the colors just feel so homey and right. I would love to have an invitation based on these concepts (although part of me is rooting for Bradley Thompson above me. How sweet is it for the groom to enter since his bride is in Brazil?!)
I love #2! It has a vintage, fairytale quality to it! I keep telling people that I want my wedding to have that ethereal, vintage, twinkly lights feeling--this board reflects that but makes it feel down to earth (not over the top)! We are getting married August 14, 2010 in Winters, California at a great farm would match this board!
I love the softness of the second board. We are getting married on 10.1.10 at Linden Place in Bristol, RI. It's where the Great Gatsby was filmed. They have is a beautiful golden bricked carriage house where we will be holding our reception after our garden wedding. The second board really reminds me of my venue and F. Scott Fitzgerald's book. Love it!
I love both boards -- but love the second board the most! It's super pretty and I love the soft colours in the second one and think they would be perfect for our garden wedding in a greenhouse chapel and banquet hall on April 16, 2011. Both boards are stunning!
Board number 1 is stunning! The modern colors and shapes really work well together! My fiance and I are both creative people, and I think the whole theme really fits our personality! We are getting married in Atlanta, October 2010.
The red and green board is so much fun! Bright, colorful, perfect for a spring or summer wedding and not a color combo you see often in wedding invitations. I feel like I could find a ton of invites similar to the color scheme in board 2 but I would struggle to find one that would go along with board 1.
Long live board 1!!
Oh yeah, and my wedding is May 2011 on Topsail Island :)
I love the bright green of the first board, but I have to vote the second board as my favorite. I love the indie/vintage feel and it totally encompasses the theme of our wedding. We are getting married in Bloomington, IL on May 28, 2010. Eeee four months from today!! :D
Board two wins for me. Its a great mix of youthful exuberance and whimsy but also refined glamor. Very good combo. Our wedding is August 21, 2010 in Boston, MA, outdoors but in the city!
Bord #2! Just because I want to take a bite out of that cake! OMG it looks delicious. Plus the design goes well with our Pasadena, CA wedding. We're foodies, love vintage, soft elements. And the goat really? I adore that. 10.2.10!
I love the vintage and romantic feel of board #1. We are having an outdoor, fall wedding - September 18th. The cake is so inspiring! Love the brown on the invitations-definitely perfect for fall.
They are both beautiful - but I really love the second board! 10.16.10
I love the second collection...simple and sophisticated...absolutely beautiful collections! My wedding is in Seattle, WA on August 14, 2010...yay!!!
I <3 the first board by Pinga Amor. It is at once vibrant and clean while full of whimsy and nostalgia. I love the heart shaped leaf, the trees on the little milk bottle, and the flowery tray that looks borrowed from grandmom displaying a trendy red velvet cupcake.
October 10, 2010 / Bucks County, PA :)
I LOVE the first collection (but both are beautiful)! We are getting married in October 16, 2010 in the Museum District in Houston, Texas! The reason I love the first board is the green J Crew shoes! I will have lace dress and the main color theme will be based off that stunning and vibrant green! I would LOVE to get some beautiful invites made with this scheme – as I am trying to go for beautiful and refined (with the lace) and vibrant with the eye-catching green! Thanks for the chance!
Board #1 is sooo beautiful! I would have never thought of bringing red and green together - and it not looking Christmas-y at all! Especially <3 the green shoes!!! :-D
May 21, 2011 / College Station, TX!
i love the bottom board in gold & ivory... the wedding is august 13 in milwaukee, wi :)
The books on board #2 got me. We're currently buying up used books (a daunting, but fun wedding task) to give out as favors for our wedding, with "this book belongs to" stickers with our wedding details on them. The wedding is June 19 in Portland, OR, a morning ceremony & brunch.
I've never really won anything like this, but I had to at least try because board number one was made for me and my fiance, Bryan. I'm a fiery, passionate person who has always loved the color red, and he compliments me well by being a fresh, natural being who has a thing for the color green. Knowing this, we decided to give our wedding punches of both red and green (despite the chagrin of some saying these colors are only Christmas-y).
The way these colors appear in nature are beautiful and designed perfectly: bright green leaves on ruby red apples, light green stems on juicy cheeries, bold green leaf caps on big red strawberries. Bryan and I like to think we go together just as naturally.
We are getting married on April 17 in Atlanta in the courtyard of a 1920s warehouse turned art museum at The Contemporary Art Center. Least to say, these bold colors with some art deco vintage touches would be wonderful.
p.s. we're even having red velvet and key lime cupcakes--can't wait until our guests pull back the liners to find these exciting colors and flavors!
Not only are the colors exquisite, but inspiration board 2 reminds me of our love - timeless. We are getting married on September 26 in Amelia Island, FL.
I love board #1- the clean crisp colors and style is to die for! We are getting married July 3rd in Frankfort IL and I would love for my guests to see these invitations to set the stage for our big day. :)
I love the bright colors of board #1. It's fun and joyful and unexpected--just like my fiance and I. We're getting married October 2, 2010 in Louisville, KY.
I prefer the freshness and playfulness of #1. It brings me back to warm summer days of my childhood. I don't like the colors (the red and green are too Christmas for me) but I love the overall vibe. My fiancé and I both want an outdoor wedding full of playful details.
We're getting married May 28, 2011 near San Francisco, CA, preferably outdoors in the afternoon!
Wow, I'm so excited! I really love the second design. My fiance, Curtis, and I are getting married on August 7, 2010 in Palo Alto, California. It's been fun for us to plan our wedding together over this past year; we got engaged in Point Reyes in January 2009. We met in the Peace Corps in Ghana. Curtis taught math and I taught art--a true meeting of both sides of the brain! Our wedding will be at a lovely home built in the 1920's. It has a beautiful pale pink rose garden where our friend, a writer, is going to officiate the ceremony. The reception will be out on the lawn surrounded by huge oak trees. I love the books in the design also. I am currently a graduate student and used to manage a bookstore at an art gallery in SF. We are trying to go for a feel of "nature's simple elegance" for our wedding.
Both are gorgeous, but if I have to choose it's number 2.
We're getting married June 5, 2010 at Rancho Las Lomas (rancholaslomas.com) in Silverado, CA
#2 Please!
I am a down to earth girl but when it comes to weddings I suddenly become a complete romantic. When I look at the second board I can already see garden roses and soft silk!
The lovely shades of creamy ivory and browns are inviting but the color that truly makes the board for me is the sage green of the cups. It roots all of those soft neutrals by contrasting with the hints of pink and burgundy in the books. I love colors and the moods they create!
Our wedding is July 31, 2010 in Santa Cruz, California. Our theme is a rustically elegant garden party with those we love.
The second one! Its very romantic and vintage feeling. It fits some what with my wedding of sage, ivory and pops of cranberry. I'm getting married June 12, 2010 at Sweet Briar and Radiance Spa in Geneseo, NY. Its gorgeous!
Love #1 Pinga Amor. Bright, vibrant colors!
Hoping I can still enter! While I think both are so gorgeous, #2 has something so vintage and stylish that I think it would be perfect inspiration... Wow! I'm getting Married January 21st, 2012 in Morgantown, WV. Thanks!
I just love the color combination. As being synesthete I live a life in colors. Synesthesia means that I see colors when I see words and numbers.I transform this in paintings of names and birthdays.
I am so torn - I love both boards! I love bold colors when used judiciously, but I also love the classy, vintage look of the muted neutrals. I guess I'd have to go with #2 if I really had to choose b/c I think those would like more timeless in a wedding album 30 years from now. We are still trying to pick a date and place, but it will probably be late summer/fall destination wedding in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I have to go with board #1!
It is so fresh and original, feels natural and organic. We're getting married in Killington Vermont, August 28th and this board just talks to me... we want fresh, green and fun, and this board is oozing with FUN!
We're getting married at a winery in Livermore wine county on Halloween which so happens to be my birthday too. (Woot!) I would go with board#2 because I love the neutral colors and the vintage/romantic feel to it.
Both gorgeous ... obviously! The second wins for me by a close margin because we're having a cosy rainy day theme, with books and board games and twinkly lights and warm colours and hot chocolate to guard against the wintry London weather in December, as we're getting married 12/30/2010... My fiance is English/Irish and a Londoner born and bred and we're celebrating in true British style... tea and cake to finish off a pub lunch, combining elegance with tradition!
absolutely love board #2. I love the neutral, pastel, warm, vintage and romantic look and these are amazing! Our wedding is going to have a vintage feel to it. We are getting married on July 30, 2011 in upstate NY, which is my grandparents 55th wedding anniversery and those would be perfect!
Board #1 definitely!
Fresh, vibrant, beautiful. As Erin commented above, this board just speaks to me too. Our wedding is May 29 in Lexington, KY & our colors are reds and golds. The green reminds me of the grass on the lawn at our venue, Spindletop Hall, and our flowers are red roses! What could be more perfect? Plus, I'm in l.o.v.e with that ring pillow!
Board number one immediately caught my eye. My fiance and I are getting married on September 18, 2010 at a bed and breakfast on a farm in Corry, Pennsylvania. The board seems very inspired by nature and is simple yet beautiful, which is exactly what we are going for. A simple, but beautiful night with our family and friends to celebrate a new beginning in our lives.
I love the first board by Pinga Amor, especially the beautiful ruby red bridesmaid dress. We are getting married on October 9, 2010 in Prescott, Arizona.
board #2!! love the colors and teacups!!
I love the second board. I prefer soft, somewhat muted colors. I'm thinking gold and champagne for my wedding colors. I'll be married August 20, 2010 in Kettering, Ohio. Thank you for the opportunity!
Oooohhh mmmyyy! I might be too late for the giveaway, but that's okay. I just had to say how much I love, love, love the whimsy of the "fairest of them all" inspiration board. Genius! I would love to use that as the inspiration for my August 2010 wedding invitations. We are getting married outside Portland, Oregon and the location has the same creative/fun/quirky feel - it would be perfect!
I love the 2nd board. It's a wonderful combination of whimsical and simplicity and elegance. It also reminds me of dreaming since I was a child of the day I would get married and now the dream will come true on November 19, 2010 at Chapel Dulcinea in Austin, Texas.
I love love the second board!!! My date is June 5, 2010 in Mesa, Arizona.
oh how I love Board #2! I am getting married in San Francisco in the Presidio on November 6, 2010.
LOVE the first board. I'm getting married July 17, 2010 in Lawrence and green is one of the colors. Love ;)
Love the first board but the second one is my choice ...it's perfect!
Happy, bright, whimsical and memorable - Board #1. My Irish heritage can't help but love the Kelly Green! How gorgeous Kelly Green looks with beautiful deep red hues........my late summer wedding would definitely be one for the books with these inspiring colors.
I really enjoyed reading your blog I got some very interesting information from this article thanks for sharing your info keep update. regards
