Apologies & Inspirations

Bad wedding blogger... very very bad! That was my punishment for hardly blogging in the past week. I'm kind-of a last minute Xmas shopper, so the past few days I have been battling mall parking lots, overworked retail employees, and the pressure of finding the "perfect" gift.

This is one of my inspiration boards, I have about 3 of them - but this is the first one I had created - its sort of my "attire" board. My mom had a really hard time envisioning what Navy dresses with pink accents would look like so I created this to share with her. I think the navy and pink is a preppy, clean and fun look.

One thing I'm struggling with lately is a theme/design I can use throughout the decorations. Obviously, one theme would be the navy/pink, but I've seen a lot of "birds" or "monograms" or "palm tree" logos that people will use on all sorts of things from Napkins and favors, to programs and invitations. I feel like if we were doing a destination wedding, or a Holiday celebration it would be very easy to find the perfect little design, but we are not. Once I find this "thing" I'd like to update my inspiration board to start making it more personal.

I can't wait for a few months down the road, when the decorations have all been picked out, to look back at my first inspiration board and see where it has gone from here...
