Red All Over

Happy 4th of July! I am giddy with visions of barbecue, beach, bikes and fireworks. Can’t wait!

Inspiration: Vanilla Bean

I was in the mood for something warm and vanilla (read: vanilla bean ice cream, martinis, tarts, and cheesecake). Why are my inspiration boards always inspired by food? I think I need a snack! Anyhow, here is a nice palette with creamy tones of ivory and brown. Yum!

Inspiration Request: Rockabilly

I received an inspiration request the other day that proved rather challenging. Here’s what our reader wrote:

Our wedding theme is Rockabilly/50’s. I am having a hard time finding ideas for the reception. We are having a BBQ reception as we are pretty simple and dont really want the hassel of an elaborate reception. Just want to enjoy our day with family and friends. It will be a very laid back. We dont really have any “colors” as we are just trying to look for something fun and reflective of our style.

To me, black and white patterned material (lace, checkers, ploka dot) paired with pops of red is very Rockabilly. Let me know your thoughts. This was a tough one. Thanks to Isabel for the great request and really fun challenge.
