Tonight I abandoned reality (except for a glass of wine and Modern Family snuggle time with Joe) and delved deep into my mind to create some inspiration boards for our wedding. I have so many fun ideas and most of them probably won't come to fruition but I want to remember the process and the journey as the wedding evolves and so at 11 months away-this is what I have. Try to blur the edges and focus not on the actual details of the details but the bigger picture/theme/ideas within the pictures. I am in love with what I believe our wedding will be and I honestly cannot wait to see how the real thing plays out!
So, enjoy and know that this is the first of many because at this point inspiration is truly inspiration and I feel like like an artist with a blank canvas and a hell of a lot of paint.
This first one is more of an overall theme for the wedding, which I've coined Rustic Organic Elegance. Picture the thick woods of Northern Michigan in the early days of Fall. The sand between your toes as you munch that perfectly toasted smore, not caring that marshmallow and chocolate are smeared on your face and hands. You watch the stars begin to emerge and even spot a shooting star or two as the waves lap on the beach and the embers glow to warm the crisp air around you. A perfect Northern Michigan bonfire.
This second one is the development of our color palette. I am really not going to be too strict with this but in general, warm plum tones will blend with earthy greens and browns and sand like neutrals...maybe even some wine colored amaranthus to give another pop of color. The possibilities are truly endless! Joe wanted to make note that he will not be wearing this suit exactly and to absorb the deep purple and gorgeous calla lilies that just scream elegance.
Like I said, more to come, just a taste to get the juices flowing. Now, off to bed to dream of plum colored linens, pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting and a handsome groom to share the rest of my life with!
XO,
Grace
