a beautiful, wonderful, mess

I stumbled on the most adorable group of ladies at A Beautiful Mess. BONUS: one of the bloggers, Elsie was married recently and had the sweetest-cutesy-vintage styled-wedding!  These are my 3 favorite pictures and will definitely go into my wedding inspiration scrap book for sure.  Please check this blog out if you love vintage, diy, recipes and all around amazing aesthetic.  Please and thank you.

recycled inspiration

Here's a thought... I know how much money I've spent on bridal mags so far... not budget friendly.  Recently a friend, who got married this summer, offered to bring me her magazines.
My first thought was, I have 20 now, where am I going to put them and more?  My second thought was I have 20, only 20, okay bring me your two favorite, which then magically turned into multiples of the original two, sweet.
 If you have some friends (which I have a few) that were recently married ask for their magazines.  They may be willing to part with them.  I personally have been clipping them lately due to lack of space, then putting the collages in the wedding binder.

BONUS, they may have highlighted, circled, and book marked some things that may be helpful to you such as etiquette, and area caterers... ps thank you Jamie.

BONUS BONUS: I found some (more) great dress clippings to bring to the dress maker for when we meet to begin designing.  That I cannot post due to Mr. Snoopy McSnooperstin.

Rustic Engagement Party.

Here's the inspiration board (one of many) for our engagement party. 
My fiance picked the poms... kidding.
Although I love actual candles... it's not wise to use them in a 1930's pavilion with hanging poms and drunk guests.  I want to to be a laid back romantic with easy up and easy down. 
Since it is going to be September, sub the spring mix of flowers with rich fall tones and sprigs of fragrent lavender and rosemary from the garden.  Yellow is the primary color... but not primary yellow... more like a warm rich yellow, kinda like : summer's last hurrah - yellow. 
Note: summer's last hurrah for a paint color is so appropriate, no?  yes.
I love inspiration boards, do you ever use them when planning?
