Inspiration Board 2 - Green/Grey/Silver

Here is my second attempt at an inspiration board with my other favorite dress.  The earrings were the catalyst for this board - green vintage glass, awesome!  I bought them this weekend at large studio open house of local artists/jewelers/photographers.  Basically, I saw them and knew that they were the exact color green that I want for the wedding, so obviously I had to have them.  I don't download a lot of images (not sure why, just don't), but I had all of these already.  I had saved them with no obvious purpose in mind other than I liked them.  I'm so happy that (at least to me) they work so well together, and now have an overarching purpose.  

Enjoy!

My first love and Inspiration Board #1

I first started getting into wedding planning about 7 months ago after my best friend got engaged.  When talking to her about the kind of dress she wanted it quickly became apparently that we had vastly different ideas on what makes the perfect wedding gown.  Her philosophy: "if you've got it, flaunt it" - meaning, the she wanted a sheath dress that would showoff her figure.  My philosophy: its the only day in your entire life when you can dress like a princess and not look ridiculous, so go for it - meaning, show me the way to the big, poofy ball gowns!  (My philosophy may stem from the fact that my high school nickname was Princess, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!)  

While supposedly helping my best friend search for dresses on The Knot I found the dress that I had to have.  Its a Birnbaum and Bullock, I spent weeks thinking about it, and its my first love.  I've since cheated on it with others, who you will meet in the future.

Thinking about this dress led me to think about what my wedding might actually look like and I made my first (and currently only) inspiration board.  I love purple and green and seven months later I still want them as my wedding colors, but everything else has really changed.  More to come on that.
