So. Inspiration Board Week didn’t work out QUITE as I had planned, due to my and Blogger’s technical and temporal issues. BUT I have this lovely board for you to end the week on a high note. The best part about making inspiration boards is that I get to explore and celebrate so many different styles, like this mod wedding and this wintery wedding. Most I wouldn’t choose for my own, but today’s board comes pretty close to my personal style – sweet, simple, and filled with lovely details.

Start the day with an intimate wedding at the bride’s childhood church, then move to a family member or friend’s backyard for an elegant reception filled with personal details like family member wedding portraits and a photo line of the bride and groom growing up. To keep the party hopping late into the night, set out votives along a stone wall and punched luminarias along walkways.

Here’s something totally different from our usual Peach & Pearl fare for Day 2 of inspiration board week: a bright, modern party filled with pops of orange, black, and white. Graphic ranunculus on an otherwise simple white cake, plastic chairs pulled up to reception tables, and a typewriter guest book bring this look together. This shade of orange is perfect for a July or August wedding, I think.

The Details
First row, left to right:
Portrait by {whitebox weddings}. Use an antique typewriter for a guest book: insert a long sheet of paper, then instruct guests to type out their well wishes one at a time {via Brooklyn Bride}. For a high-impact but low-cost cake design, order a modern three-tiered cake decorated judiciously with sugar couture flowers {via Wedding Style}.

Second row:
Shoe shots are so much more fun when you’re wearing a color that pops {photo by Kate Headley}. Especially if your wedding is in the summer, laying out fans on ceremony seats is a thoughtful touch for your guests {Hatch Creative Studio}.

Third row:
Even a modern palette can incorporate an old-school veil {photo by Meg Smith}. Chic satin frocks are cool in more ways than one (I kill myself!) {via All Things Lovely}. Even roses look mod when gathered in a slim, tight sheath {photo by James Carson via We Met in a Bar}. The famous Ann Wood cake toppers, in their black and white outfits, would look lovely on perched on any top tier {photo by Our Labor of Love}.

Fourth row:
Graphic, textured flowers pair well with a shiny metallic bowl in this centerpiece {The Knot}. A last detail to nail down? Finding some stunning orange architecture to incorporate into your pre- or post-ceremony portraits {photo by Meg Smith}.

A new season has just begun (at least in my book!), so what better way to kick it off and celebrate the first day of inspiration board week than with a spring fling wedding board! Delicate candy-colored hues, rainbow cupcakes, and vintage prom dresses – oh my! I picture a simple ceremony at a little white church, then a reception with lawn games and an ice cream truck at a state park in May.

The Details
First row, left to right:
Check vintage stores or the closet of your childhood home for candy-hued prom dresses. If you involve your maids in the hunt, they might not even resent your choice! {photo by Flint Photography via Snippet & Ink}. Love these pink d’orsays with a curl on the toe {photo by Meg Smith}. There’s no need to dress up your favors if you’re giving Laduree macarons {via Lobster and Swan}.

Second row:
Cupcakes frosted in a gentle gradation of hues make for a lovely dessert display {photo by Charlotte Jenks Lewis via Brooklyn Bride}. With a bright pink satin sash, even the bride gets color wonderful {photo by Meg Smith}. Make crepe paper blooms for guests to pick up before the ceremony and wear throughout the event {via Snippet & Ink}.

Third row:
This color palette begs for a candy buffet at the end of the night {Amy Atlas}. The best part about this color scheme? Most blooms will fit! {photo by Meg Smith}. Even succulents get in on the action – a display of these delicately tinged-beauties would look lovely on a card table or at the bar {via Once Wed}.

Fourth row:
If you want something to cut, choose a simple buttercream cake sprinkled with rose petals in every hue {photo by Meg Smith – what can I say, she’s amazing!}. Swizzle sticks grouped together would make a delicious centerpiece at a kids’ table {Martha Stewart Weddings}. The unassuming carnation just seems to fit this event’s aesthetic – mass them to make centerpieces pop {Ariella Chezar}
