Inspiration Board

Throughout the next 15 months I will be posting entries labeled "Inspiration board" that pertain to the wedding. Usually these will be pictures from other weddings, or design ideas, or DIY projects that I admire and may or may not use for my own wedding.

For the first entry, I thought I would post some pictures that have inspired me so far to pick my color choice: blue and white (with green and yellow accents). My favorite color has always been blue, and even though I haven't thought much about my wedding until getting engaged (I was not one of those girls who had their dress and colors picked out since elementary school), I knew I didn't want extremely fancy, or anything covered in pink.
Because we're having a mainly DIY wedding, keeping it simple is going to be top priority. I will talk about decorations and flowers in another post, but these pictures have inspired me to grow wild flowers and use glass mason jars as centerpieces on the tables. Simple, beautiful, and not incredibly expensive.

Now I am still trying to figure out what shades of blue I want to use. From what I have found online, blue weddings are usually either light or aqua blue for beach side ceremonies or icy blue for winter wonderland weddings. I am having neither, and I don't particularly like any of those blues.

This hydrangea has been on my actual inspiration board in my apartment for awhile now and is the best example of the shades of blue I am obsessed with.

I like all of the shades in the flower but mostly the dark blue in the back and the lighter blue on the left side.

At first I was thinking of incorporating blue green and yellow into all aspects of the design but now I am realizing it's going to be difficult to match shades and keep everything streamlined. I want to use pops of yellow and green by using sunflowers and maybe some green lanterns. Still trying to pull it all together!
