I love all of the amazing inspiration boards that are put together by designers- it's such a beautiful display of possibilities. However, when I was a bride, I also loved seeing what real brides had done. Brides who had to work on a budget, or for whom the crystal chandelier in the tree wasn't going to be a practical reality. So, a while ago I decided to start doing inspiration board style layouts of wedding details from real weddings. There are about a dozen here and while many revolve around strong color combinations, sometimes more subtle themes emerge from the set of details as well. One thing is for sure, I can't wait to see what creative details the 2009 brides come up with!!

I believe that the guestbook you’re seeing was actually a scrapbook album and she mounted some of her engagement photos inside the album.. maybe put some colored or decorative paper behind them for framing, but it’s basically just some glue and paper! 
I love inspiration boards, but when I find inspiration in them, I wish I could actually see the detail in the picture >.< The table shots on the green and blue wedding would help me out a lot.
The bottom right corner shows the centerpiece- a hurricane vase with water, floating candles, on a green table runner with a table number.
As a soon to be bride myself, I absolutely love these real wedding inspiration boards! I always wonder how inspiration boards translate to real events, so it’s very fun to see it in reverse. Thanks for sharing, Anne!
I like inspiration boards because you can find unique ideas to use for your wedding.

, I rate this article for 4/5. Decent info, but I just have to go to that damn msn to find the missed pieces. Thank you, anyway!

About Me: Things that make me happy: old people getting crazy on the dance floor, world travel, hello hugs & goodbye kisses, cultural celebrations, acoustic live music, indie handmade crafts, cinema, environmental protection, diversity, the sound of nature, authenticity, white water rafting, discovering artists, photographing people in love. Things that bore me: bland food, celebrity gossip, negativity, fake anything, waiting in lines, egotism.
I love inspirations boards. But sometimes they can also make a bride a little crazy and obsessive. You want so many things for your own wedding but sometimes you only have so much time and money. You can only make your wedding day about you and him. But seeing inspiration boards are great for brides who just got engaged and need some ideas…but for brides who are half way through or almost to their wedding day…step back from the wedding blogs! Even though I have another yr I think I need to just stop dreaming and just doing according to my budget! PS…on the pink board I see a guestbook with a photo in it…do you know what they did for the guestbook or what they used? I love your posts!
