This board is for Katharine, one of my lovely co-workers. She’s decided that I’m going to plan her wedding, and so every day I learn a little something new about her personal do’s and don’ts. It’s a hilarious back and forth, because while I embrace the “cute” and unexpected, Katharine’s buzzwords are “classic” and “traditional.” She wants white or ecru engraved stationery, white roses, an evening ceremony, and maids in black dresses. Based on this and the fact that she doesn’t like flowers (what?!), I’m always telling her she should have a winter wedding. Let’s consider this board part of that campaign.

I’ve always loved Lewis Carroll’s classic, and this board is loosely based on Alice’s adventures. Fancy cucumber sandwiches and ice cream in tea cups, anyone?

Summer might be drawing to a close but it’s still hot, hot, hot where I live. I think this cool palette of aqua, pale blue, and key lime is a nice antidote, don’t you?

The bouquet-and-bridesmaid combo in the top left corner inspired this board’s fun, playful vibe. I chose a bold, graphic cake and clusters of mod-looking blooms to keep the reception punchy. A short dress and orange heels for the bride (as well as carrot cake cupcakes for the guests) are in order, don’t you think?
