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?

A blue and yellow Michigan Wedding with sparkling beads + candy

Alaina & Jon | Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

The beautiful wedding of Alaina & Jon {from Jackie Blair of JACQART} features the colors of the University of Michigan which was the financé's alma mater. The entire wedding was tied together with a monogram and the blue and yellow {gold} color scheme. The bride even handmade all her invitation packets. The reception was overflowing with amazing details including tall candlesticks that were draped with sparkling beads. And, for the cocktail hour, there was a candy bar in the wedding colors.

Real Wedding : a citrus infused Orlando, Florida wedding

Today's Florida wedding of Kate and Jeff was photographed by Lori Barbely Photography. I love the citrus inclusion, especially in the invitation, the wedding cake and in the bride's bouquet.

This bouquet is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites I've seen. I'm LOVING the pops of orange with the little kumquats tucked in between the flowers.
