Inspiration Board: Cool as Ice

It might just be wishful thinking, but I'm inspired by anything cool, cold, or not 100 degrees (can you tell my almost 7 month pregnant self is a little miz in the current LA heat wave!?) and I think this ice blue color palette fits the bill:

Lovely Bridesmaid Dresses

I am in love with these Lela Rose bridesmaid dresses.  The chiffon, the rosette details, the varying styles...what's not to love!?  I think having your bridesmaids each wear a different style all in the same color would be so chic.  I have to admit, my own bridesmaids wore one of these styles, and they looked fabulous, if I do say so myself.

Inspiration Board: Vintage Elegance with Pops of Color

While doing several drafts of an inspiration board for a client this week, I created the board below, and while it isn't the one the client was looking for, it is the one I am the most drawn to.  I love the color palette: the combination of muted gray, ivory, light yellow and light blue, mixed with pops of brighter yellow and aqua.  The lace and milk glass bring a vintage feel, but the color palette is more modern and whimsical.  I would love to see this inspiration board brought to life in an elegant ballroom wedding or a fun tented country club event...
