… that I love inspiration boards?

This was my first attempt at an inspiration board for our “green” wedding. It was actually the first bit of planning that I did for the wedding. I think I started it about 2 days after Mr. Veggie proposed. He scoffed.

I was going for a late summery-rustic-relaxed vibe.

We’ll be getting married at a summer camp, but at the time I just knew that we would be outdoors. Colors that have been popping up all over my life lately are saffron/grey/brown. They seem like perfect end of summer colors.

The little one on the trike is my niece Annie. I thought she might have fun riding down the aisle. Plus, since we are bikers (of the non-motorized variety) it would incorporate biking into our wedding in an interesting way. That was pretty much my only original idea, the rest of these gems were swiped from wedding websites.

Since then, some of our ideas have changed a bit. We’ve firmed up a venue and I think I bought a dress (YAY!). It seems like it’s time to update this board. I think I’ll work on inspiration 2.0 in the next few weeks. Keep your eyes peeled.

How soon after you got engaged did you start putting together an inspiration board?

I have acquired a inspiration bulletin board much to my FI’s chagrin but I needed something tangible to really see how it all was playing out.

wow I love it! so many great things in there - can’t wait to see the evolution! I made one a bit ago but it’s missing on a crashed computer. Didn’t love it anyway - I could never find enough pictures that really matched the vision in my head

Switching out the colors, this isn’t too far off from some of the inspiration boards I’ve made. Love it!

FYI, if you decide to go with the Nicole Miller dress, check out Once Wed and Craigslist (Craigs Look lets you search nationwide). I got the same dress for $500.
