I've come up with an inspiration board for our winner, Caitlin from Think Happy Thoughts. Here's how Caitlin described her wedding vision:

Its in October in Destin, Florida. The ceremony is on the beach, reception at a culinary center. Our colors are reds (cherry, apple) and greens (pistachio, lime, pale), khaki, ivory, white. If you look at my blog you can see some inspiration boards I've liked in the past but none suit me! I don't want to overdo starfish and sand dollars - so we'll stick w simple tea lights, ribbons, floating flowers, glass vases for decorations. My fiance loves star gazer lilies and I have to find a way to incorporate them wout having a bunch of pink. Ummmm, bridesmaids r in red, boys in linen khaki and prbly light green button ups. My dress is ivory and has a train, strapless, and ivy beaded detailing on the bodice. I love green ivy as a pattern. I don't know if I'm helping at all. I envision a simple, clean, but unique reception.

Here's the board.
I'm thinking it would be cool to have long banquet tables, alternating red tables and green tables, both with tablecloths made of linen. Only the flowers and napkins would give the pop of color on each table. Clean stripe designs on the favor packaging, invitation suite and cake would mimic the long stripes of the banquet tables. Even the stargazer lilies in Caitlin's bouquet are striped! Add in some circles with the cherries, tissue pomander arrangements and the escort cards, which are posted on a board covered in linen. A floral or damask pattern with clean lines could be used in some of the napkins and the escort card circles, along with a pretty laser cut curtain to complete the modern look. And there are no sand dollars to be found!

I hope this board makes your wedding vision a little clearer Caitlin! Enjoy!

100!

This is my 100th post! How exciting! I suppose this would be a good time for a giveaway! I would love to give away something tangible like a purse or something else I've made, but I don't really have a ton of extra time to make things right now. Sorry! So instead, I'll offer up an inspiration board! I'll contact the winner to get details of your wedding and try to create a board to illustrate your vision.

Please leave a comment below to enter once, become a follower (or if you are already a follower) to be entered twice (leave a comment to let me know you want to participate), or post about my giveaway on your own blog to be entered three times (leave a comment with the link to your post). Make sure to leave your email address so I can contact the winner.

I'll pick a winner on Friday! That means you have until midnight on Thursday to enter. Good luck!

And for your viewing pleasure, here's a board I created for a contest on Brooklyn Bride last week. I am loving the muted color palette! Perfect for a spring wedding.
