TAGS: INSPIRATION, VISION BOARD, ROARING 20S, VINTAGE


The Roaring 20's was a fashion forward time full of energy and excitement with dancing flappers, the Art Deco movement, and of course dropped waist dresses.


What's the total cost of this 1920's inspired bridal look? Only 530!


Roaring 20's Vintage Wedding Inspiration board


You can play with neutrals or have fun with color when planning a 1920's or vintage themed wedding. The tones in the inspiration board (above) are based on a 1920's neutral palette.


Neutral hues like camel, beige and taupe are au currant, but may need to enhanced, so add a bright accent color like pink, mauve, or red in your centerpieces and your bouquet for a pop of pizzaz!

Inspiration: A Romantic Cocktail Wedding

TAGS: INSPIRATION, VISION BOARD, ROMANTIC, COCKTAIL, BUDGET


Cocktail weddings work for any season and can be oh so chic. With this inspiration board we decided to show the softer side of an evening affair, rather than the traditional ultra-glam version, so we focused on romance and a white and silver color story with just a hint of sparkle.

If over the top drama and dazzling details are your thing then a cocktail wedding may be perfect for you, but don't shy away from a twilight ceremony just because you prefer understated elegance or rustic decor.


Anyone can create the cocktail wedding of their dreams once they find their inspiration.
