Happy Friday! I made a fun inspiration board to get us all ready for the weekend!

here’s a different take on this wedding I featured here. Fuschia, purple, and chocolate brown is a beautiful and rich combination. It works well in the fall and winter, but here’s how it could look for a June wedding.

Instead of using any satin brown linens, you could use dark wood elements to give your wedding a chocolate brown touch. Also, let flowers or summer fruits be the pops of fuschia and purple. This board also has touches of whites and creams to lighten up the feel. Hope this gives you some inspiration! (especially you, Sade)

here’s a wintery version of a purple and aqua wedding. You can find a way to make almost any color combo work in any season. Have a great weekend!  :-)

I came across this fabulous birthday party on Caroline Tran’s blog today. It was a Lakers-themed party that took place around Christmas.

Carolyn of The Special Day magnificently tied in the feel of Christmas by using ornaments in the theme colors. LOVE IT! This is one of those simple ideas that I would have never thought of!

If you’re having a wedding during the Christmas season, but aren’t particularly fond of greens, reds, whites, and any combination of those colors- this might be a great solution for you. You definitely get the holiday feel, without compromising your color palette.

I know I’m a little late with this, but it would be crazy for me not to post a little snippet of this on my blog! What do you guys think of this lovely bride in her purple wedding dress? I love it love it love it!
