Wondering why today's purple and red wedding inspiration {with touches of grey} says it's "absolute"? Well, that would be because it was inspired by the Dyson Absolute. I recently had the amazing honor to receive the latest Cordless Dyson creation and have fallen in LOVE. This vacuum is a must-have registry item for all couples. The full scoop on why is below this gorgeous inspiration . . .

See below for the shopping links to the items featured in the inspiration board. Now, back to that Dyson Absolute. The vacuum is very eye-pleasing and pretty to have around with it's purple + red colors with sleek grey. This vacuum is cordless, mighty powerful and comes with a huge assortment of attachments {which I personally love to have}. It vacuums like a heavy duty upright, but it's super lightweight at 5 lbs. This vacuum features two Dyson-engineered cleaner heads and can collect everything in it's clear container — from large debris to fine dust — from the carpets to hard floors. It can even clean from the floor to the ceiling and converts super fast and easily to a handheld. It's HEPA filtration captures allergens and expels cleaner air. Are you ready to add the Dyson Absolute to your wedding registry?

I'm going a little nuts today on the blog with a fall themed inspiration board where acorns and cute squirrels take center stage. Cute wording for the wedding would be saying the couple's names and that they're nuts for each other. This Acorn and Squirrel Themed Wedding Inspiration Board combines creams and pearls with the brown shades of fall and I just love the elegance it creates.

Today's inspiration board is one I created last year, but I wanted to share again. It's dramatic. It's Modern. It could even be considered for a wedding being planned around Halloween. Wouldn't masquerade masks be fun with this? This inspiration board is filled with deep pink and purple colors and features silver accents.

I recently received an inquiry for my Lavender Wedding Invitations, but the bride had said "I am contacting florists now about flowers for the wedding. It is going to be harder than I thought to get fresh lavender for the wedding. I just need to make sure I will be having lavender elsewhere in the wedding." This made me realize that other brides might be running into this same problem when the flowers they choose for their wedding are out of season. So, today, I'm sharing with you a lavender wedding inspiration board that shows how you can incorporate your favorite flowers into your wedding if they are out of season with 4 tricks {shown below}.

4 Ways to Incorporate Your {Out of Season} Favorite Wedding Flower

1. Use the dried version in bouquets {already preserved for keepsakes} or in sachet favors

2. Incorporate the floral in your designs {invitations, menus, favor tags, even the clutch}

3. Bring the flower color into other elements of the wedding {dress, shoes, candle holders, etc}

4. Have your baker bring the flower into the design of the cake {either on the top or cascading down the tiers}
