Aqua Blue Tropical Wedding Inspiration with the Most Unique Wedding Gift, the iBoard Ironing Board

As the temperatures are getting chillier, the idea of a tropical wedding sounds absolutely wonderful. Today's wedding board was inspired by the most amazing ironing board {this is proof yet again, that inspiration really can come from anywhere}. This ironing board is called the iBoard and truly is one of the best wedding gifts if you are looking for something a bit out of the ordinary for the soon to be married {or even for yourself}. It's unique and unexpected, yet it's sure to be a favorite of the bride and groom. Huge thanks to iBoard for letting me try out their largest size - it really is squeak-free {not one little sound came out of it as I opened it up}. It's also super sturdy and doesn't shake back and forth as I'm ironing. Another great extra feature is the little pull out section that lets you rest your iron there to warm up {no more worrying about the iron falling over as you don't need to rest it on the ironing board itself}. Also, with this pull-out section, you can use it as a clothes hanger. Such a brilliant design. The cover is available in a tropical Hawaiian flower pattern in both aqua blue or grey and really does resemble a surf board. You can even purchase the special hanger they have so when the iBoard ironing board isn't in use, you can hang it up out of the way. {see below for the aqua blue tropical wedding inspiration board}

Aqua Blue and Orange Weddings

Ideas and Inspirations | Photos and Galleries
Color Palette:
aqua blue, sun orange, white, brown

Today's inspiration started when I saw the photo of the bridal shoes on the web site of Curtis Smith Photography {found site via @itsajaimething on twitter}. You can see a larger image of the shoes below the inspiration board - I HEART the brooch and the "something blue" inner sole. Originally the board was headed towards hues of aqua and sun orange, but once the necklace was found, I decided that some touches of brown would be a nice touch to accent the bright colors.
