I promised I’d give you three boards every day… here are today’s!
What I loved about Cassandra’s board (other than her name and the abundant use of green of course) was the fact that she took a very chic and glam room and kept it simple. She created a fresh and clean board with very classic choices, but threw some pieces in there to make it personal ~ like the Celtic ring and the whimsical umbrella lights. Have I mentioned I loved sparklers for a wedding? Well, I DO!
I’d really like to only say two things about Janet’s board and then let what she wrote me in her email speak for the rest. 1) I love that she took a very traditional contemporary room and created a completely 20′s inspired board. 2) So original!!
Here’s what she wrote: The vintage 1923 wedding dress is the pièce de résistance of the wedding. After you’ve found a dress like this the key to modernizing and pulling-off this look is all about finding the right accessories. The earrings from Anthropologie were a great period-inspired find. The understated tiara and exquisite tasseled pearl necklace pull the whole look together. I found two amazing pairs of shoes (thanks to Janie Medley over at TBC). Each is pictured next to the gown I would put them with. By pairing some over the top items (for the bride: the dress, earrings and bouquet) with more subtle items (clean crisp hairstyle, headband and shoes) the look becomes updated-vintage.
Couldn’t have said it better myself, Janet. And finally…
I don’t even know if ‘Citrus Chic’ is the right way to describe this board… maybe WOW is more appropriate? I fell in love instantly with the choices Rebecca made here. The feel reminds me of Palm Springs with the mid-century modern touches (like the invitation and the photo of the Parker… but then there’s a bit of a Mexican flair to it as well with the gorgeous church and the beach ceremony set-up. A completely successful combination of two very different looks is tough to achieve, and Rebecca did an amazing job!

I am all about the citrus.
Citrus Chic of course! You know I love me some yellow and lemons!
Oooh, the citrus board is so fun!
Beautiful boards!
Oh, and I should mention that I HAD sparklers at my wedding and it was a disaster. Everyone including my (then) husband and I (who were running through it all) were completely engulfed in acrid smoke. I don’t even think that it was that windy, but something about hot sparks and smoke just wasn’t exactly the romantic twinkly send-off I had envisioned. : )
Just a little heads-up.

I absolutely adore the 1923 vintage dress!!!
Oh my board was up and I didn’t have internet to see it! Darnit! Thanks for choosing mine as a finalist and the kind words you said!
Go C+K! This has been just the most wonderful week of posts. I’ve been on the road and just had a chance to catch up. Thanks so much for sharing!
oooh – ok Janet’s is the second in my ‘top two’ although to be honest, I wouldn’t have picked any of that for that room – its a beautiful beautiful collection of wedding inspirations
