Irish Themed Wedding

So wedding season is gracing us and I have been spending time glancing through magazines with my morning coffee during Montreal's polar vortex days. I noticed this theme of green flowing through and with spring on the way its perfect. It also reminded me of home, so I went with it and decided to make an inspiration board. Yes, a Saint Patrick's day wedding board. I know there is at least one Irish person somewhere in the world getting married on St Paddy's day, shur there's always one.

I chose a lot of greens & browns because every Irish bar I have ever walked into is drenched in wood, especially dark woods. How can you go wrong with green? You have about 40 shades to choose from given the Irish landscape is like a puzzle board of colours. With the state of the Irish economy there are so many Irish living abroad, I put together, through various clippings my version of an Irish themed wedding without all the expected leprechaun, shamrocks & druids for where-ever you are living in the world.

Wedding Inspiration Board!

With wedding season approaching fast, I decided to make my very first wedding inspiration board. I really needed to get the juices flowing so this was the perfect little experiment to do just that. All it took was a $5 wedding magazine, scissors and imagination. And a little patience: having two cats in the house who think they own your work table doesn't help!

The main reason for this exercise was to get me away from the computer for a bit and see what I could come up with. It was so much fun to play with the colours and shapes, seeing what I loved and building inspiration. Pinterest boards are great but there's nothing like paper! I got some great ideas from this board and it really helped clear that blur I get sometimes.
