Inspiration Board #1: Sand and Sea

Celebrations· Inspiration Boards· Weddings

I’m so excited to present my first inspiration board! My hope is to create and share a few of these each month to inspire anybody planning a wedding or an event. Like any designer, I LOVE exploring different color combinations. This first board’s tones are inspired by the beach. When I think of “beach”, I think of my second “home” in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It is where I spent my summers growing up and still make several trips a year to as an adult. These colors are some of the beautiful tones that come to mind when I close my eyes and transport myself to the Cape— the grey of the clapboard homes, the golden sunsets and the grey-blue hues of the bay.

A special thank you to the amazing photographers and websites for allowing me to showcase their work. Please follow the links below to check out more of their beautiful photography.
