Inspiration Board : Burnt Orange and Brown w/ spice cake, roses + chiffon

This inspiration board is what I'd call a blast from the past. This was originally created for Brenda's Wedding Blog but the colors perfectly matched this months palette of the Best Wedding Sites Magazine so I wanted to share it again. You can see the original post here. One of my favorites from this board is the cake - while I love the outside of it - the inside is simply yummylicious - layers of spice cake, maple-caramelized apples, and maple buttercream.

Wedding Inspiration : Yellow & Grey Flowers, freshly cut from gardens + paper

Can't believe it, but we're already winding down the October month long feature of black, grey and yellow wedding inspiration - just one more post on Monday before the November issue starts going live. Today I wanted to share with you some AMAZING flower inspiration in greys and yellows - some real and some made with paper that are equally as stunning.

Inspiration Board : Navy Blue + Yellow ... a clean, classic & elegant affair

Today we are joined by Erin of Sparkle and Hay who has created a classic and elegant inspiration board in this months color palette of navy blue and yellow. Erin writes . . . "When I think of a navy & yellow wedding palette I immediately think of clean, classic & elegant affair.  Bowties maintain the sophisticated feel, but add a playful touch to balance the formality of the clean lines." Don't you just LOVE those tiered cakes?
