Wedding inspiration board

So I realize I haven't talked about the wedding in awhile, but don't worry! I'm about to rectify that situation, right now! The planning is moving ahead, albeit slowly--since the last update, we have signed a contract with a DJ and have scheduled a meeting with a potential officiant for Monday. Next on my list is to find a florist, and I'm also getting closer to being ready to shop for a dress.

Anyway, since all the big things like music, food, location, photographer are set, now is time to focus on the little details like colors and look and feel of the ceremony and reception. So I thought now would be a good time to develop an inspiration board of things that I've seen other places that have inspired me in one way or another. You'll notice that many, though not all, of the items on my board are purple--but don't worry, the ones that aren't purple inspired me in some other way. If I do something like them at the wedding, it will probably be in a purple version (except the dress).

Anyway, here's the board (click to enlarge):

  15. My wedding colors were lavendar and brown. And one thing I loved was that each bridesmaid had a different flower. I tried to do their favorite flower, but they didn't all come in varying shades of purple. So my florist helped pick. They were all different shades of purple and all gorgeous. It was one of my favorite touches.

    (And I love the purple cocktail. I'd love the recipe, if you have it.)

    We did a wedding party shot (purple hooter) but it turned out to be reddish.
