Wedding Inspiration Boards

It all started with a contest for creating wedding inspiration boards. I had done boards of interior designs to show clients fabric samples and furniture choices. I have an inspiration bulletin board above my desk filled with clippings of homes, fashions, and gardens. But a wedding inspiration board I had not tried yet.

According to the instructions on the blog Style Me Pretty it was to be a collage of nine to twelve images, but I only had one day to get it done since that was when the contest ended. I tore through my stacks of magazines looking for the right pictures to convey what I had in my mind. While I was working on this, I realized how similar it was to working on a Nordstrom window. I sifted through pictures as if they were props and mannequins. I was the last one to send one in. No, I didn’t win the contest, but I sure had fun doing it! Here it is-

Just like the Lay’s Potato Chip advertisement- “You can’t eat just one” – I couldn’t do just one! Later I saw this photo of a lawn mowed into a spiral and it became the impetus for another wedding board.

I took the spiral motif and used it as a theme for a wedding. Everything has a spiral or swirl- from the antique urns to the bride’s coiled bun. I sent it to Abby of Style Me Pretty for fun and she was kind enough to post it on her blog.

Have I done any more wedding inspiration boards? Yes, I’ve done three more. I’ll end my post with one of them and save the other two for a later time. I call this “A Library Wedding”. The photograph of St. Paul’s Library in London was the inspirational starting point for this one.
