Rustic Red and Orange Inspiration Board

This is the last week of Fall, so I wanted to do one more fall inspired inspiration board! This combination of red and orange is so incredibly rustic and chic. The red and orange details pop beautifully against wood and the typical fall brown. A wedding with these colors is definitely going to be a lot of fun! Serve lemonade or cider (depending on the weather) before your ceremony. Have the reception in a large barn, just outside under the stars, or in a clearing between tress. How cool would it be to have lights strung from tree to tree?

I just love the rustic feel of the red and orange flowers, combined with a lot of wood. And of course mason jars are my favorite. You simply can't have a rustic wedding without mason jars! What do you think of these colors for a rustic wedding? Are there any other colors you would use for a rustic event that aren't brown?

Inspiration Board: Whimsical Red

Red isn't just for Christmas and Valentine's Day anymore!

The wedding I had this weekend was a Venetian Masquerade Ball theme, with red and gold decor accents. The red and gold together was beautiful and incredibly elegant. Red is usually associated with a more formal and elegant event, especially when paired with black. I thought I would take a different twist on the use of red for brides planning Spring and Summer weddings!

This inspiration board showcases red combined with lighter colors, which gives an event a fun and casual feel- perfect for an outdoor Spring wedding! When you combine red with white, gray, aqua, or any other light color, a fun and whimsical theme is created! Add different elements of decor, and you can make it more elegant or more casual...it's completely up to you!

I think the red would be great for a "preppy" wedding too! What do you think of this color palette for a whimsical wedding? Are there any other combinations that you think would work well also?

Inspiration Board: Red and Brown Elegance

Well my friends, Fall is coming! The first cold front of the season has arrived in Florida today, and that means...temperatures in the 80s! If you follow my tweets, I'm sure you've seen how much I long for cooler weather. And trust me, the difference between 80 and 90 degrees is tremendous!

I made this inspiration board with the coming season of Fall on my mind. Red by itself is chic, and when it's combined with brown, the two create a gorgeously elegant color palette.

Is anyone having a fall wedding this year or next year? What are your colors? I know at least one of my readers is having one in October! I can't wait for it!
