Soft, Fun, Flirty: Wedding Inspiration Board

I think this sunshine has me thinking spring today! Pheww, its been a while since we have seen the sun! Glad its back, even for just a short time! 

Lately I have been loving the color mint, and decide to make a fun spring inspiration board using it along with some accent colors of navy and pale pink! I typically put a neutral color in there somewhere, but I'm kind of loving these three colors together! 

Hope you find inspiration somewhere today!!! XOX

Last but certainly not least... PART 3...I am kind of sad this is the end; but I can deal, thanks to this beautiful 'Winter' bouquet; it is absolutely breathtaking!!! The soft tones make this bouquet the PERFECT option for your Winter Wonderland Wedding!!!
 I can't help but just stare at this amazing mixture of flowers... in fact when I picked this up, I did stare at it for a good 30 minutes just mesmerized!

Thode Floral has proven to be so diverse, creative, and full of passion throughout these bouquets, and this one is no different! I just LOVE the wrap on this too, how GORG!!!

Festive, Fun, Fabulous: Holiday Bouquet : Thode Floral

SO excited for Part 2 of our bouquet series!

 {You can catch all the details & PART 1 of the series HERE!}

Now we bring you 'Holiday'... there is something really special about a Holiday wedding. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the time of year; but it just seems super COZY! 

I am SO in love with what Jessica at Thode Floral did with this one! It's 'Holiday' without screaming 'CHRISTMAS'...which is exactly what I had envisioned! And can we please talk about how she is the QUEEN of bouquet wraps.. just wait until you see Part 3's wrap too!!!!!

We decided to pull out an old vintage sleigh that we had at the barn, and to not have it with a model...Ummm, I am OBSESSED with these photos......Shooooot, I thought I wanted a fall wedding, now I want a holiday wedding....and then I remembered I was already married. UGH! ;)

HUGE thanks to Balee Images for these photos... try and take a 'holiday looking' photo, on a beautiful fall day, ha! Well, of course Brandi nailed it! LOVE!!!!

How GORGEOUS are these flowers!!!!!!! 

Rustic, Bohemian, Earthy: Fall Bouquet : Thode Floral

I have been thinking about doing this series of blogs/photos for a while now...

I really wanted to do a shoot, that was focused more on a beautiful detail, and what more beautiful than wedding bouquets! My goal was/is to show you some very simple, yet beautiful styling that just involved a few background pieces, some jewelry, and these

 GORGEOUS wedding bouquets! 

Being the time of year I thought it would be fun to show you an AMAZING {Fall, Holiday, & Winter}   bouquet, all personally styled in their own way. I threw the idea out to Jessica at THODE FLORAL and she was ALL. ABOUT. IT.... just one of the many many reasons I LOVE her. I told her to do whatever her little heart desires, and BOY DID SHE... these bouquets rock so much, it's taking all of me to not show you all the pictures RIGHT NOW. 

I then asked Brandi from BALEE IMAGES if she wanted to go along with my make believe shoot and of course she was just as excited as me! We have so much fun!!!! I want to do a make believe shoot every week with her... she might start to care though;).

Lastly I needed a wedding dress attached to a set of arms to hold the bouquets, and stand there and look pretty, HA!... I texted my lovely friend Alison, bribing her... and I believe her exact words were "Get in my wedding dress again?!?! You just tell me when and where!"

I cant even begin to tell you how much it means to me to live in this AWESOME community with AMAZING vendors who LOVE their job so much, they want to do it just for fun!!! 

Jessica, I can't wait to fill your new wall with these beautiful new photos!!! 

This one is for Alison:)! Love you! 

Stay tuned for PART 2 & PART 3 of this series!!! Trust me, you won't want to miss it!!!
