I admit that I never joined Pinterest before our wedding was over and I never compiled a general wedding inspiration board (only crazy dress boards to send to my bridesmaids…), but there were definitely images that I saved or blogged about that I would look at over and over during the planning while we were making decisions.

Once Mr. Funnel Cake determined our Swiss/OSU wedding colours, we stuck to them throughout the planning. After we made our very Swiss invitations, it was even easy to brand the rest of the wedding paper products in our (KH)² visual identity.
I feel like almost everything we planned happened the way we imagined and we received many compliments from guests that the wedding was so personalised and really reflected Mr. Funnel Cake and myself with all the small touches.

What do you think—did our red and white Swiss theme pull through? How much do you use pictures or inspiration boards in your planning?
Wow, that side-by-side comparison is amazing! Your theme definitely came through in a great way.
Yeah, you definitely made your vision a reality! Great job! Everything came out beautifully.
I think it worked out quite well! And I just love your DIY cake topper. So “you”!
This makes me definitely want to make an inspiration board: I just love the side-by-side comparison! Everything turned out amazingly!
Love how you pulled off the red and white theme, even better than your inspiration in my opinion 
this is really amazing FC! I’d love to see this from other bee’s to see how it turned out for them. Yours was spot on!
Love this, Mrs. FC! How awesome was it to be able to compare for yourself and see how close you came?
@StephK527: Makes me feel like we did something right! 
I LOVE these side-by-side inspiration-to-actuality comparisons!! You did an amazing job at staying true to your theme!
Your red-and-white Swiss theme DEFINITELY pulled through! (I love the color combination, myself.)
This is amazing! I agree with everyone, you did such a good job making your inspiration a reality!
I love seeing the inspiration v. wedding day comparison. You really stayed true to your vision!
I would say pretty close! I’m with Mrs. Coyote – I love seeing the vision vs actual
I took that #4 dress with me to my dress appointments, I really wanted it! Clearly you have awesome taste! =)

I love travel, photography, museums, learning German so I can speak with my mother-in-law, cooking (eating), cuddling, and I'm not afraid to try something new even if it terrifies me. My Swiss/Brazilian man and I are both down to earth people planning a traditional Catholic wedding in my hometown with some quirky cultural exceptions to reflect our different backgrounds. We look forward to celebrating with friends and family from all over the world in a classic, sophisticated fusion of heritage and love.
