Bride on a Budget: Inspiration

Inspiration comes from all kinds of unexpected places...

At first I had no real intention of having a colour scheme. But as the bits and pieces come together there are definitely prevalent colours being used: olive, teal, electric blue, hot pink and white.

So I decided it was high time to put together a little inspiration board:

I've focused mainly on items we'll be using, or ones very similar to them. The mantle on the right is from a wedding at our venue - I love all the candles! And bottom right - while we won't be using shot glasses and tiny bud vases, this is somewhat the look I'm going for.

The fabric bottom center are actual swatches, which I've shared with you before... And in totally non-inspiration news my sil in flying in this weekend from Vancouver with her pattern, which may result in her groomsmaid dress being sewn!

But back to inspiration... I've found inspiration online (Flickr is one of my all time favorite eye candy sites), and of course in magazines (I have a towering stack of bridals it's about time I revisit).

One of the things I love best about being inspired, is that you can take that vision and make it work for you! Whether it's to fit your colour scheme, your season or your budget.

How are you inspired?
