On Sunday, Becky and I spent the day working with some amazing vendors to produce a vintage chic photo shoot in Westport, Connecticut. We hope to share some of the photographs with you very soon, but until then, I thought I would share our inspiration board with you (aside from the fact that it has been months since we posted an inspiration board! Shame on us...)
Similar to a wedding or any other social event, it makes it easier to have a design idea to guide you. That's why inspiration boards have become so popular. They help you visualize what you want for the overall style and color of your event. A board can be shared with everyone to help them understand what you want to achieve as well. For instance, when we approached a florist regarding this project, we provided a few of these photos to help inspire her. But creating a board for yourself is particularly helpful because you can keep going back to your idea and working off of it. Maybe you're torn regarding the color or style of jewelry to incorporate into the wedding. Matching your options to your original inspiration can guide you in the right direction.
So, I highly recommend doing some research and designing a board with all the things you'd like to see at your wedding. Anyway, that's my spiel. I look forward to showing you how we made our inspiration board into reality very soon!
Have a great Wednesday everyone!
I love the bouquet, that is gorgeous!
