Board 5: I was inspired by Fuss Jewelry’s Moss Aquamarine Nugget Ring. The ring made me think of a sophisticated seaside celebration defined by a faint blue-green/white/sand color story. This wedding is understated but enormously stylish, like the ring. Row 1: White Seashell Bottle Stopper from {Wedding Favors Unlimited}; Seaside photo by Dominique Vorillon from {Brides}; Anchoring Seating Cards from {Martha Stewart Weddings}; Sports coats photo by Shari Bare Photography from {The Knot}; Inset: Moss Aquamarine Nugget Ring by {Fuss Jewelry}; Chocolate-Champagne Truffles in Sparkling Sugar from {Martha Stewart}; Middle row: from left: Dress by Tracy Reese Spring 2009 ready-to-wear, photo by Marcio Madeira, from {Style}; Orchid bouquet photo by Angie Silvy Photography from {The Knot}; The Sanderling Resort & Spa (Duck, NC) photo by Mary Basnight Photography from {The Knot}; Bottom row, from left: Gown by Nicole Miller from {The Knot}; Bite-size pistachio tarts from {Brides}; Cake by Margaret Braun from {Brides}; Invitations by {CECI New York}

Board 6: Row One: This inspiration board was inspired by the colors in Fuss Jewelry's {Emily Earrings}. The ivory and champagne colors add a vintage look and feel in this {reception setting}, and the {pearl headband} from Jennifer Behr is stunning . Row Two: A classic {champagne tower} is eye-catching at the reception and the beautiful lettering on this {invitation} from Etsy vendor LHCalligraphy makes a black-and-white correspondence anything but boring. Not too formal, but distinctively different, this glen plaid {suit} from Abbey of Nottingham (Eng.) makes the groom stand out amongst grooms. Add a splash of color with a {chocolate cosmos bouquet} (they even smell of chocolate!) against the ivory bridal backdrop. Row Three: Display of sweets includes the traditional French {Croquembouche} with spun sugar décor. This {vintage wedding gown} is playful and romantic – one of a kind. As with the Emily Earrings, pearls dangle from gold on this beautiful {chandelier}. Row 4: These {votive favors} are a sweet and elegant in rosy hues. More depth of color for the bride, from Sundance's {Four Leaf Ruby Ring}. Decorate tables with variety, using Wedgwood + Martha Stewart {plates}, in golds, ivory, and blush.

Board 16: I was inspired by Fuss Jewelry’s Avril Earrings (column 3, center). This color combination (icy silver, warm brown & pink) was the springboard for the design. The very soft and specific tone of the pink reminded me of a Degas painting, so there are some very soft and feminine undertones with warmer accents throughout the design. This wedding is all that a wedding should be, delicate, sacred and precious, and there are definite French influences throughout.

Crew}.

 

Board 17: I was inspired by Fuss Jewelry’s Pink Amethyst Nugget Ring (column 3, bottom). The ring is chic and elegant and the stone and gold remind me of a southern sunset. This wedding is inspired by the sunset and every element is bold, chic and confidant. Column 1, from top: Chandelier photo by Beatriz da Costa from {Brides}; Gown by {Amsale}; Column 2, from top: Dress by Vivienne Tam Spring 2009 ready-to-wear, photo by Marcio Madeira, from {Style}; Teacups, saucers & flowers photo by Darrin Haddad from {Brides}; Column 3, from top: Cake photo by Jeff McNamara from {Brides}; {The William Aiken House} (Charleston, SC); Pink Amethyst Nugget Ring by {Fuss Jewelry}; Column 4, from top: Martha Stewart Orange Rose Medley from {1-800-Flowers}; Pink & Gold Cocktails from {Martha Stewart}; Armani Collezioni  Classic Tuxedo from {Neiman Marcus}.
