Board#186: Golden Forest

May!!! Seriously... how did that happen? I'm still waiting for summer to arrive... although admittedly it kinda did in April (go figure!!). It's so unfair that time really does appear to go quicker and quicker the older you get! It's been a while since I've posted a yellow and grey board, and you don't often see these colours in a more rustic outdoorsy setting... it's usually in a modern or more minimalist way. So I thought it might make a nice change. I hope you enjoy!! I'm heading off for a puppy date with Greta from Vela Images this morning... in fact it was her dog Hunter that inspired us to get Charlie... we even went to the same breeder. So I'm hoping for some puppy advice from an expert!!

Board#185: Bon Appétit

I hope you're hungry this morning cause today's board is all about food, food, glorious food!! Who says you need to have just wedding images to inspire your big day? I don't know about you but the colours of these food shots do it for me. I'm a little obsessed with food styling these days... isn't it incredibly how appealing they make it look... although I'm quite sure this all tastes just as good as it looks. So given your choice what would your first and second options be amongst this lot?

Board#172: A New York Moment

New York wedding anyone? I don't often feature much in the way of urban modern affairs but it makes a nice change right... although this still isn't especially modern I guess. It's been a while since I've done a black and yellow board and I love bringing in the warmer mustard shade with tones of grey.

Board#151: Woodland Whimsy

Good morning!! Did you all have a nice weekend? I know it's Tuesday but I'm getting lost in the days at the moment. This past week has been mentally busy and by the weekend I was so tired I had to catch up on some much needed sleep to recoup!! Besides that there were some very important rugby games that had to be watched... I'm already very nervous about the upcoming game this Saturday!!
I have had this board sitting around for EVER and I'm really not sure why I haven't posted it before as it's one of my favourite looks. I love the eclectic and rustic nature of it. It's all a bit rambling and mis matched which adds up to the perfect look in my books! Nothing is overdone, it's a little rough around the edges like nature intended!! And rather than go for all earthy colours, by bringing in a touch of the lavender or lilac shades it adds just the right amount of pretty to it!! Right kids I've gotta get back to it, but hopefully I manage a few more posts this week!!

Board#148: Coral & Mustard

Wow, what a slack blogger I've been!! I think this has been my longest silence yet!! But I missed you so thought I'd better pop in before the week was out! I've just been so overwhelmed with things I needed it to take a back seat whilst I did my best to get up to speed with the day job. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has these moments in their business. I'd love to hear how others of you out there cope with incredibly busy schedules... have you just learnt to say no? I think that's something I need to learn... in a hurry! Any tricks for time management? I'm all ears!!
I know the colours for this board look quite summery but I think they could also be carried over for an early autumn wedding. It all depends on how you use them. Bringing in different textures will differentiate between a summer and autumn feel. Make the most of the beautiful foliage around at that time of year and incorporate it into your bouquet and decor. And of course having a cute floral umbrella on hand like this isn't a foolish idea with the unpredictable weather during this time of year.

Cider Orchard Inspiration Board

Morning lovelies... did you have a nice weekend? This is a board I did many a moon ago but have never shared on the blog, and as many of you are heading into the deliciousness of fall soon, and many others will be starting to plan fall weddings, I thought it was as good a time as any to share it with you. I have yet another super busy week ahead of me, so I'm hitting it hard!!
