1950s Clambake

Alice in Wonderland

Cherries and Cherry Blossoms

Wizard of Oz

Dukes of Hazard

Red and Tan Tulips

This board sprung from the gorgeous picture of the Sample Gates at IU-Bloomington, in the upper-left corner of the board. I love red mixed with neutrals, and think a tulip-theme could really work well in these somewhat unexpected colors for a chic spring wedding.

Modern Red

I love bold, crisp red weddings. The colors makes for a very dramatic statement, and a big impact can be done extremely cost effectively with carnations. The venue in the bottom corner is one I considered for my own wedding: the art museum at Indiana University.

Glamming it up

As you know, I love retro touches in a wedding, and something about this set feels slightly 1940-ish to me. Red, white, and black make for a glam color pallette but I think even the most formal events should be fun - how great would an evening snack of cookies and milk be? The fabulous red shoes are by Mr. Manolo,and would such a nice pop of color sticking out from the bottom of the dress. This could make for such a glitzy winter affair - scatter crytsals on the tables, have some yummy carving stations . . .and if you do this, please send an invite my way.

Food Themed Weddings

The Mister and myself shared our first date at a Starbucks. (Isn't that horribly cliche? I try to justify it by explaning that we were both working nights, and coffee is a mainstay when you get off work at 7:30 am. Truthfully, it was only place open in the morning in our small town.) I love the muted brown color pallette in most coffee shops, and think it lends itself nicely to a warm, wintry, wedding feeling. I went to a wedding last winter year with a coffee and espresso bar, and that would be a great touch for any cold weather affair.






This board is inspired by my favorite food: strawberries. With a red and pink pallette (and a short dress!), I think a strawberry theme could be delightfully kitschy - and I'm a sucker for some retro kitsch. How fun are the flowergirl wings?


Is anyone getting their color pallette from favorite foods? Anyone planning a kitschy wedding?
