I want to say a big thank you to all of you lovely Bees and readers for your warm welcomes! I am totally overwhelmed by the love (in a good way). So as I try to collect myself, I thought I’d share my inspiration board with you. I stumbled upon Mosaic Maker last week and now I want to make an inspiration board for every aspect of my life. Oh, if only time would permit that.
(click to enlarge)
Top row (L-R): Two brides! (Snippet & Ink Real Wedding), my dress, which is in the mail…more on this later (Watters gown), two bouquets! (Snippet & Ink Real Wedding), Swedish Princess cake (ivillage.com)
Center row: (L-R): Paper cranes (wiksten-made.typepad.com), the Capilano Suspension bridge (photo by Aki Mimoto, our friend/photographer), Naughty Monkey Live Wire shoes (heels.com)
Bottom row (L-R): Reception site (kerryphillips.ca), Peonies (ivillage.com), Vintage car (Oh no, I’m a horrible person and can’t remember where I got this image), White Aisle Invitations (whiteaisle.com)
So there it is, the little tease. I have plenty of stories to tell about almost all of the images or what they inspire, but I’ll save those for separate posts.
THat’s my dress! (watters) I loved it and I know you will too!
the princess cake looks like a huge greentea mochi - which i LOVE and wish i had some creative way of incorporating into my wedding.
the board looks awesome!
The board is lovely!
oh, and ps, thanks so much for introducing me to mosaic maker - I’ve been splicing images together on photoshop - this will be SO much easier!!!
cj, it was the first dress i tried on and i ended up ordering it off of the internet. it probably won’t arrive until may. *gulp* i’m happy to hear that you love yours 
Juliek, you are right, it does look very mochi-like. that’s the original way that the cake looks, but our will have more of a wedding cake look to it, though it will be that colour.
Miss Shortcake, i never even attempted the inspiration board myself until i stumbled upon mosaic maker. i love it!
So so so pretty!!!
I love mosiac maker. I made one awhile ago of my daughter and having it hanging up. Love the other features on that site too, it can be so fun.
Here is the link to the one I use.

It is so cool because you can change the set up and size of the mosiacs.
I am sooo impatient…will you and your bride both be wearing dresses? Has Ms GB2 seen your dress? I love those shoes!
Love your dress. It’s very similar to mine (a Marisa v-neck with Alencon lace). I love how romantic and soft it all feels! Gorgeous.
I have the same dress!!! In ivory w/ ivory sash….I LOVE IT….I can’t stop looking at it…it’s soooo perdy….i know you will love it too!
jenniferb, GB2.0 has seen the picture of the dress, yes. however, she has not (and will not) see me in the dress until our wedding day. i’ll have to post about what she is wearing soon
BA & chocopie, it seems to be a popular style, though i had a hard time finding many non-poofy wedding dresses in the stores.
LUUVV in a BIG way those shoes !
i love. these. bouquets.
and i can’t wait until all my pics load into this Mosaic thingy you have linked……
ahhhh….work productivity will hit an all time low tomorrow! lol……..
The florist for the Snippet and Ink wedding (top row) is the florist we are using in Glen Ellen this August. Her name is Josette at Lavender Floral and she is fabulous. I really like the flowers in the trucks (instead of vases). Congrats on your first inspiration board!
Hi Miss Gingerbread! where’s your wedding venue in vancouver? What’s it called? Anymore photos? I love your inspiration board!!
Lovely. I saw that couple on Snippet and Ink - what great inspiration. Can’t wait to hear more.
I have the same dress as well. Chocopie, it is the same color - ivory with ivory. I am glad to hear you love it. I am still waiting for mine.

About Me: I recently moved to Canada from Southern California. Trying to plan a wedding in a new city, not to mention a new country, is tough, but the fact that we can get legally married here more than makes up for it! The wedding will be an opportunity for most of our family and friends to see our new city for the first time so it will be both a wedding and a reunion. Besides my future wife, I am also madly in love with a good bargain, Swedish pastries, Tivo, and my two dogs and calico cat (in no particular order).
Gorgeous board! Can’t wait to hear more about your plans.
