Blue Peacock Revisited – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration

-
Happy Inspiration Friday!! Hope you find something to inspire you today as work flows so much faster when you have the inspiration to do it. And we all want the weekend to begin…

While reviewing all of our inspiration boards (the new year does make you look back), I happened to stumble upon my first ever inspiration board… this was made literally before I even started this blog in 2009. It made me think about how your vision for a project (wedding theme) can change. SO here is my great advice before we revisit the Blue Peacock… If your are a bride who likes to plan early (year(s) in advance) make sure to keep all of your ideas (especially in image form if you can find it) so when you are ready to make the final decision you have something to refer to. Also, you could be super cool and make yourself an inspiration board (or even better get a wedding planner to help)!

Back to my first ever inspiration board. Inspiration Peacock to be precise. More specifically the blue peacock. As you know (or maybe you don’t) my first ever blog inspiration Friday was the White Peacock. I had such a different idea of wedding inspiration.. it was so literal. Peacock wedding means peacock feathers everywhere and feathery items, with turquoise. And it is beautiful but I also love the abstract versions.

Yes the stunning, rich feather colours must be included but also consider what the peacock means or represents to you. For me, I think of royalty and majesty. The peacock is very majestic and if you’ve ever seen one strut up to you so you could take it’s pic you would know its quite kingly and royal! So the other colours that popped into mind were golds and silvers. Also bold eye make up, and rich blues of varying shades. You always have to add something with nature as we are speaking of a gorgeous board so plant life or fresh flowers is a must!

So here is my Blue Peacock Revisited

Lemon Lime – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration

Happy Friday… The sun is shining here and it’s so warm out. And when it’s warm you always need something to quench the thirst. Hence our lemon lime blog today. We have been loving the fruit infused floral centrepieces that have been going around. It adds such a cool uniqueness to any wedding. They are also quite affordable because you can choose to use flowers and fruits that are in season. A huge variety of colours to choose from and eco-friendly too if you stick with locally grown fruits and flowers. Yellow and green are colours you can never go wrong with. There is so much inspiration in nature that you will have endless ideas with that colour choice (and endless food recipes' and desserts). And since lemons and limes are natural yellows and greens we are using those refreshing, thirst quenching fruits as our inspiration for the blog today. Hope you enjoy. As always be sure to check out our Wedding Affiliates Store and Paper Flower page for some great items for your wedd

Happy Friday to all our readers! Last week we finished up our Movie Lovers Mini Series … Hopefully you enjoyed it and if there is ever a TV show or Movie you would like to see turned into inspiration for your dream wedding (or even just for fun) Contact Us , cause we’d love to feature it on our next Inspiration Friday. This week we are getting powered up to give you ideas for Winter Weddings . This week we took the colours red and purple (which can feel like summer and warm season colours) and turned them into a great winter wedding inspiration board. Winter, of course being ever so white (in Canada anyway), is a great backdrop for colours so don’t be afraid to add some pop to your winter wedding. Usually winter colours are deeper and tinted but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be rich..
