Color Inspiration: Pomegranate and Aqua

I've had  the Lo Bjurulf image on my desktop for months trying to find the perfect images to match it with. There is just something so mystical about it- the aquas, the haze, the jewel like reds all intertwined with the slight glimmer from the glasses. (can you believe it was a collaboration for Elle Decor and Ikea?) It just feels as though I stumbled upon a party right out of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

South Beach

I love the feeling of beach weddings but sometimes it's nice to see a reception that doesn't revolve around seashells and sand :) With that in mind, I thought I'd share a board I made a few days back that focuses on a more modern, South Beach feel. I just love how the turquoise pops off of the black and white! Enjoy!

Aqua and Emerald

I started this board yesterday but just couldn't make it match my vision so I put it off for a night. Then tried again this morning, accomplished a little, but still wasn't 100% happy so I decided to take a mental break and head over to my hair appointment. (I still hadn't gotten around to the post wedding hair cut. And yes, I know the wedding was in December.)

Apparently, a break wasn't in store for me though :) It was my first time at this salon (Todd G) and I was just meeting Tiffani (my new stylist) for the first time when I heard the news she'd just gotten engaged a few weeks before. After talking for a minute, the other woman there asked what her colors were. She said they weren't sure, but she liked blue and green so possibly that. Talk about a coincidence! After talking with her about the venue she hopes to get etc, I was 100% sure where I wanted this board to go and couldn't wait to get back to finish it! With this one, I wanted to evoke a very fresh, bright, and cheerful feeling, but most of all, a very comfortable and laid back attitude. An outdoor wedding that is very family and friend oriented with great food, good music and a bar framed with cute specialty drinks (sangria or lemonade, anyone?) in beautiful aqua colored glass containers. Hope you enjoy!

And a big thanks to Tiffani! Not just for my hair (though you were awesome) but also for getting me out of my rut!
