Pink Inspiration for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Happy October, y'all!  Just as this month is a time to celebrate our favorite things about fall (crunchy leaves, crackling fires, corduroy, fuzzy wool scarves), it's also a time to remember loved ones who are fighting and have lost the battle with breast cancer.  In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the SW ladies wanted to provide a little pink inspiration.  This board has a very ladylike vibe and would work well for a brunch or a shower -- perfect opportunities to celebrate the strong women in your life!

Look for more information and for ways you can help at the NBCAM website and the site of the American Cancer Society.  Also be sure to spend some time getting to know The Pink Initiative, an incredible organization created by wedding professionals. You can read more about what they do on ThinkSplendid.com as well. Kudos to the Pink Initiative team on all they do!

Inspiration board from Emily's personal blog, Peach and Pearl. (I love her blog so much!)

Happy October,

PS- we have a crazy fun giveaway coming up this month...  all I'll say for now is get those pumpkins ready!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Those candles!! how romantic it is.

Those bouquets are very beautiful as well. I think one of my most favorite wedding decors has got to be victorian. Every time I see anything with the slightest bit of victorian romance influences it makes me swoon ;) LOL

I love this color scheme -- there's something so special about pink and light gray -- it seems very ethereal, french inspired...really beautiful.
