Color Love: Pomegranate and Fig

Today's inspiration board was inspired by the lush burgundy colors of pomegranates and figs. We think this fall color palette would work perfectly with a luxe barn wedding - a space that's a little raw and rustic, completely made over with glam chandeliers, a luscious but unfussy fruit-topped cake, little touches of burlap amidst the sparkle, and a groom in a velvet bow tie. Flaw free. 

I'll Be the Moon to Your Sun

Summer makes us want to do nothing more than wear braid flowers into our hair and fall madly in love. Here's an inspiration board for all you boho brides planning on a Summer of Love wedding: bare feet, bright colors and driving off into the sunset in a vintage VW bus. It really doesn't get much better than that. 

Under the Arbor

One afternoon last week while many of our wonderful readers were working or lunching or (maybe, hopefully) relaxing in the sun, we were sweating and hauling a new fixture into our shop: this trillion foot tall, trillion pound birch arbor!

While working at that desk is now a fantastically whimsical experience, what we really want is to drape it in flowers and see one of our lovely couples be married under it! So without further ado, we present our favorite wedding arbor inspiration for your consideration:

Fido the Ring Bearer

After the NY Times recently wrote about nuptials featuring family pets as members of the wedding party, we went wild for the idea. Austin is famously pet-friendly, and this seems like exactly the kind of idea that Austinites would lovingly embrace - after all, we already bring our dogs to work, to lunch, for walks downtown and runs around the lake. Including Fido, a family member you snuggle and kiss every day, in your wedding party is a way to make your wedding ceremony feel fun and personal, and it's awfully darn cute.

WOW.

There are an infinite number of beautiful weddings out there - every day we find ourselves gasping and sighing over the latest posts on Style Me Pretty, 100 Layer Cake, Green Wedding Shoes, and the like - but there are a few weddings that stick out in our minds, and this is one has been haunting our collective mind for absolutely ever - we originally came across it on Pinterest and simply couldn't resist sharing it with you. The dress, the giant sash-corsages on the bridesmaids, the tea party and lush reception - this couple got it all exactly right. We will probably never get over it, ever. 

There are a million more breathtaking pictures at the photographer's blog - be sure to check them out and file them all away for inspiration, because holy moly.

Inspiration!

While cleaning up my desktop this morning I got caught up sorting through mountains of saved photos and found so many pretty pics saved while planning my wedding.  Hope you enjoy!

Since these pics are from my pre-blogging days, I'm not sure of their sources.  Help me if you know where they came from!
