Inspiration, please!

After seeing all of the fun inspiration boards that others have done, especially the ones on Snippet&Ink, I decided that I should create one as well. I figured it would be a something that I could use to group all of the "must haves" together, but what it actually did was help me realize how my different ideas fit together and sort of gave me an overall theme to work with. The best part? My original colors were navy blue, white, and pewter. Beautiful together, but didn't really give me the warmth I wanted. Solution? Throw in some orange-y, reddish, gold accents, remove the pewter entirely, and soften everything up with some candlelight. Working on this project really helped me pinpoint the look I was going for - trust me, at one point I had pictures of adorable green apple place cards, the navy dresses, white picket signs pointing to way towards "Wedding", and big Swarovski crystles dripping from the top of a very ornate cake. My original ideas were all over the place, and seeing them all in one space was really quite helpful in narrowing down what we truly wanted.



Without further ado, the inspirtation for my simple, warm, and timeless wedding:
