“It’s beginning to look a lot like weddings… everywhere you go…”
We’re 110% into the holiday season — I know this because I willingly stood in line for over 45 minutes on Black Friday for a sweater for Mr. French Fries. This year, I have found that “wedding world”, unlike the United States Postal Service/banks/universities/my diet… doesn’t take the holidays off.
Wedding inspiration can come from anywhere — even your tree! Take this ornament from Pottery Barn for example:
I love it because of its relative simplicity but also because of the intricate design of the snowflake. Also, it doesn’t scream: “I AM A HOLIDAY ORNAMENT!” It’s more of a subtle whisper. Sort of like a lace wedding dress, no? These gowns can be simple and subtle in overall design, but have extremely intricate details. This conjures up a wedding inspiration board (insert “conjuring up” music here)…
Now, you might automatically think, “Oh! Snowflake ornament = snowflake wedding theme!” Au contraire. I based the board on the colors of the cream and gold in the ornament, and added a little bit of light green (from the tree branches!) and charcoal (um…from my stocking?) for contrast.

Voila! Instant wedding inspiration. Now, if only I could conjure up gift ideas as easily as inspiration boards…
Have you found inspiration in holiday decor this year?
Sigh. I love that cake. If we had had a cake, it would’ve looked like that.
(Hi, it’s me again)… It’s from Weddingstar?! I just picked up that “magazine” this week!
@KMSull: Yep, Weddingstar! And if memory serves me correctly, it’s pretty affordable. 
oh my goodness…this is my favorite ornament inspiration board yet!! that cake is to DIE for! totally adding it to my cake file! love it.
cute pillow! i love how well all of those items work together, without using the obvious “snowflake theme”!
I love this inspiration board! That little ornament is beautiful too
I think that’s just beautiful! That bouquet is just lush and I want to smother my face with it. :p
I LOVE this inspiration board! Way to go French Fries! That pillow is too cute.
I love that that luminary just showed up on two wedding bee posts in a row! (See Miss Guinea Pig’s.) Gorgeous, and I’m blown away by your subtle incorporation of the lacy snowflakiness into a theme that isn’t dominated by detail.
Haha… we are about to purchase those invites! But I totally agree with you; wedding inspiration is everywhere!!!
Ooooh I love that board! It kind of reminds me of my schemes, but only winter-ish. I love the delicate details!
Oh my god, that cake. I want it. I seriously might send it on to my cake lady, where she will yell at me because I already selected a different cake.
