Tangerine Orange and Aqua Blue Wedding Inspiration

Today I want to welcome Sara of Burnett's Boards who is here to share one of her beautiful inspiration boards with us. With tangerine tango being the Pantone Color of the Year, I just fell in love with this board when I saw it. The lush bouquet is just stunning and the orange fluffy pom poms over the lounge area are super pretty. If you haven't visited Sara's site yet, it's a definite must - you will love her inspiration.

And, here's the story behind the invitation design that coordinates perfectly with the above green inspiration board . . . "Moments of Happiness Designs and Novelties, Inc. also known as MOH Designs is a wedding and event planning company. After working with my most recent bride this past spring helping her select paper textures, styles, and colors during her stationery consultation I fell in love with the process of creating the perfect invitations. So, with using my vision for style, design skills and technique, I developed a new found passion for creating beautiful stationery. So, I present to you one of my designs I call Lime Perfection."

Blueberry Wedding Ideas : summertime inspiration with blueberries

Blueberries are at all the local farm stands near us now and I always have a fresh pint or two in our fridge. I love them and so does my daughter. We'll have them with our breakfast and my daughter loves a little bowl of them with her lunch. And, they taste so good on top of ice cream with a little drizzle of honey, yummmm. Today I have put together a fun little inspiration board filled with blueberry ideas for bridal showers and weddings. You can see even more in my Blueberry Inspiration on pinterest including some great blueberry recipes. Do you have a favorite blueberry recipe? If yes, please feel free to share the link for us all to see.

Wouldn't it be fun to put together a blueberry themed party and serve blueberry pancakes with homemade blueberry jam as favors? Or, better yet, how about blueberry pancake cupcakes? And, maybe even blueberry bruschetta? Just think of all the fun ideas.

When Life Hands You Lemons... plan a lemon yellow inspired wedding

Well, since yesterday and today have turned out to be different than I originally planned on - I decided it was time for a lemon yellow inspired wedding inspiration board. I ended up having one dr appt turn into another resulting in me being gone for 3+ hrs yesterday. Luckily a blood clot was ruled out, but I still can't seem to manage the swelling in my left foot that hubby at times refers to it as "elephant foot". Lovely, right? Well, today I have an unplanned appt at the ob to see if anything can be done. One of the many joys of pregnancy in the later months I guess. So, as a result of this, I decided to do some searching and put together this lemon yellow wedding board for you with a touch of hot pink. But, now, I'm really craving a tall glass of lemonade :)
