Real Wedding : beach themed wedding over the water in New Jersey

color palette: navy blue and khaki
location: Atlantic City, NJ

Today's beautiful wedding of Molly and Dan took place at One Atlantic which is a gorgeous over the water venue in NJ that is simply stunning and overlooks the iconic Atlantic City boardwalk. The floor to ceiling windows allow not only for great views but for a very versatile space. This wedding was filled with unique aspects that included:
• pearl jam groom cufflinks
• king/queen of hearts dad cufflinks
• bride/bridemaids sea shell jewelry from etsy.com (mermaids baubles)
• recycled button boutonniere (etsy.com)
• blue seashore cake (thebakeworks.com)
• treasure chest gift box (made by bride's dad)
• picture playing card with lottery ticket and taffy in a sea shell (guest favor)

I'm loving the braid in the brides hair {seen below}, it's so pretty.

Navy Blue and Yellow Wedding {with calla lilies}

Ideas and Inspirations | Photos and Galleries
Color Palette: navy blue and yellow
Motif: calla lilies

Today's inspiration board was created after Kricia of Kricia Morris Photography asked if anybody had any yellow and blue wedding inspiration boards created. She has a bride that is planning a wedding and wants yellow calla lilies with navy blue dresses. Oh . . . and she's anti-beach, so the look is a classic, elegant, garden setting. I set to work right away to put something together for her, and this is what I've come up with. I found the wedding cake and then stumbled upon the invitation which I thought was a terrific pairing with the cake detailing. I kept the bouquet subdued and went all out with a yellow one for the bridesmaids so there was a wonderful contrast between the yellow and the blue of their dresses. I love adding the blueberries into the champagne for the extra little pop of blue. And, for those that might be wondering, according to iflorist, calla lily means Majestic Beauty.

PS: this is the first board I've put together where I've had specifics to adhere to. I typically pick a theme on my own and go with it. I enjoyed the challenge with this one - thank you Kricia for letting me put this together for you and your bride.
