The Beginning of Forever

Happy Inspiration Friday and I’m sure everyone feels like TGIF!!! I am still in love with the vintage style wedding.. in fact when my wedding does come along someday I will definitely incorporate a hint of vintage for my theme inspiration. I am loving fascinators… and now that they have become so popular.. they offer a fun way to slightly modernize (but not too much) the vintage feel to weddings. And remember when using vintage as your wedding’s inspiration you don’t have to go completely vintage through your entire wedding, simply adding vintage features that you truly love in cooperation with modern features will give you a very personalized custom wedding. Don’t forget pops of colour! Fascinate Me! For photo credits visit Style Me Pretty.com

Happy Inspiration Friday. Last week a colleague of mine Caren Chorlton-Richardson from The Favour Shoppe inspired me with her question of the day “What horoscope are you?”.

I decided to focus specifically on the Lucky Flowers, Lucky Gems, and Closest Metal characteristics. Symbol: The Bull Ruling Planet: Venus Quality: Fixed Element: Earth Basic Trait: I Have Closest Metal: Copper Lucky Day: Friday Lucky Colors: Pastel Shades Lucky Gems: Lapis Lazuli and Sapphires Lucky Flowers: Daffodils and Daisies Horoscope – Taurus : For photo credits visit StyleMePretty.com Want to see what your horoscope would like as an inspiration board?

My favourite flower happens to be the Orchid, so this weeks inspiration stems from a white Orchid.
