Board #482: Magnolia & Graphite

One of the things I miss about living in Mississippi is the incredible magnolia trees. The magnolia trees that grow in other places I've lived just don't seem to get quite as many blossoms, but I guess that's why Mississippi is called the Magnolia State. They're such dramatic flowers, and they just smell so good! Kari Herer's beautiful magnolia photo and pencil illustration inspired today's simple wedding board, with shades of white and green and gray. I imagine chalkboards, zinc tags, and pencil drawings, accented with magnolia flowers, of course - pulled together, I think they create a look that's both vintage-inspired and totally fresh.

Mood: fresh, timeless
Palette: graphite gray, magnolia white, leafy green

Board #496: Secret Garden, Revisited

Gambar
One of the very first inspiration boards I ever posted was inspired by The Secret Garden, and when I saw this post over on Dress Design Decor a couple of weeks ago, I immediately wanted to revisit the theme (and hopefully improve upon it). Faded blue, vintage keys, overgrown vines, and romantic stationery pull the look together, while a chandelier hung in a tree, a unique candelabra, and paisley printed linens add something unexpected. Mood: romantic, storybook Palette: faded powder blue, pale garden green, white {click image to enlarge} Top row from left: secret garden door via Dress Design Decor , chandelier from Brides , faded blue door via Dress Design Decor , ring bearer ensemble by Marie-Chantal via Brides UK Row 2: photo of weather vane candelabra by Elizabeth Messina , springerle cookie cake from Martha Stewart , botanical RSVP card by Austin Press Row 3: white wine and vintage wine glasses via Style Me Pretty , vintage key via Dress Design Decor , vine save-the-date by Aust...

Happy Weekend!

I blinked and now it's July - how did that happen!? I have a little counter on my Google homepage that tells me how many days until our wedding (yes, yes, I'm a big nerd), and I just can't believe how quickly the time is flying by. Our 4th of July plans are as yet unformed, but I think they should involve patriotic desserts and sparklers. What about you? If you haven't already left for the holiday, then here are some links to take you into the weekend. {via We Heart It } Loving manila . This is why I'll never be an adult , via Lovely Morning .
