Wedding Vision Boards

As you prepare for you big day, you're likely to work with at least a dozen vendors to bring your wedding vision to reality. In order to insure that all involved parties truly understand what you expect your design, decor and theme to look like, try constructing a wedding vision board.

A vision board is a collage of images that give you and your vendors a visual reference for most elements of your wedding, including venue, ceremony site, attire, flowers, tablescapes, etc.

You can create a handmade vision board with items like posterboard, magazine cut outs and fabric swatches or, even better, simply head online to a site like Dessy and use their free vision board tools.

The vision board pictured above is a sample I created on Dessy for an outdoor autumn earthy wedding.

The Perfect Palette...Color Palette That Is

While setting up my Google Reader to track my favorite wedding blogs, I came across this post from The Perfect Palette. This blog, which offers wedding color suggestions in almost every color palette imaginable, is hands down one of my favorites. I'm especially loving the aqua, light green & antique gold pairing suggested in their latest post:

A Summer Soiree: Blending Aqua, Light Green & Antique Gold

Sometimes I happen upon a color palette that just really makes me feel inspired! This palette of aqua, light green, and antique gold is exactly one of those palettes. There is something very soft about how these colors come together. It's light & airy, a tad feminine, and also incredibly romantic. I think this palette would look gorgeous for either a Summer or a Spring wedding. Some of my favorite ideas in this board include the gorgeous cake design with it's intricate detailing as well as the fun and quirky getaway ride! So what do you think? Is this a palette you would consider? I think if I were to do it all over again, this would be a really fun palette to work with!
