Yay for Lyndsi

Had to post Lyndsi's board for the Style Me Pretty contest! Voting is today. I have one out there and so does Lyndsi. :-)

More Boards!

Yes we did send over an old favorite from our blog for Style Me Pretty's mood board contest. We really just wanted to partake in all the fun! I wanted to share some of my current faves. They are all just so amazing! Go take a look and give SocialDesign your love :-)

Weekend inspiration

It's Saturday and the weather is just gorgeous. For the first time in a long time I can turn off my AC and open the windows. Having an itch for the outdoors, this inspiration arose. I am just dying for the gown/skirt top combo in this photo. This is what I dream for Lyndsi one day! It's so chic, so different and from there came this rustic outdoor inspiration board. Enjoy. See you on Monday.

Spooky Classy Chic.

Ok I know we're pushing it here. But if done right, this would be phenomenal. Lyndsi and I have wanted to do a "spooky classy" event forever. Picture tons of candles, vintage imagery, a 1920's feel, stone walls, dark linens, warmth, history and not a pumpkin or ghost to be found! There is a serious line that could be crossed turning this into a cheese fest halloween party. That is not the idea here. The idea is to work with the season and use it in a beautiful way. Has anyone ever been to Tequila's in Philadelphia? That's the feel I'm talking about. Subdued, Dia los Muertes feel. We couldn't even find the images to truly reflect the feel we are talking about because it really hasn't been done that often. And certainly not well. We will do it well. I promise you.

Nature Inspired

If you know me, you know I'm not a very outdoorsy kinda gal. I like air conditioning and bug free environments. However, I love an outdoor wedding. I love organic nature inspired elements to the event as well. With the sun setting earlier, this inspiration board was inspired by the colors of the sunset. I would just adore a ceremony as the sun was setting, candlelit with the firey colors surrounding in florals, gowns and tables. It would be just lovely. So here it is...what's currently inspiring me.

Exploring Ethereal

Sorry for the delay in postings today. What a busy weekend!

Lyndsi and I met with a bride this weekend who had really great inspiration. She also was collecting a book of images and I absolutely loved the aesthetic. She described her vision as "Anthropologie Ethereal". Which I just love. I haven't seen this look done well in a long time and I think it has such amazing potential. I picture the eclectic natural feeling of Anthropolgie mixes with empire waists and flowy fabrics. It can be really stunning! So I visited one of my fave blogs who really embodies that style to a T: Gypsy Purple. The images below are credit to her. This is someone of an inspiration or mood board for the aesthetic. So dreamy. Enjoy!

In a mood....

For our clients we always try and create a mood board at the very beginning of the planning process. We use fabrics, photos, ribbon, paper...even if it's not wedding related. This really brings your vision to life and helps you stay consistent throughout the planning process in terms of design and style. Decor8 held a mood board contest that we love! Here are some of our faves. The blue and orange is by far our most favorite. Give this a try for your own planning, it's very inspirational!
